Blake N.F. Traditional English Grammar and Beyond

Macmillan, 1992. — viii, 155 pp. — ISBN: 978-1-349-19006-5.It is clear that there is room for an introduction to the study of English grammar which starts with traditional approaches and then incorporates some of the newer terms from modern linguistics. The new A level English Language papers established by the Joint Matriculation Board (Manchester) and the University of London Examinations Board provide a good example of this need. This book has been written with this kind of need in mind.Review of Word Classes
