Printed in the United Kingdom This book presents a new and comprehensive descriptive grammar of English, written by the principal authors in collaboration with an international research team of linguists in five countries. It represents a major advance over previous grammars by virtue of drawing systematically on the linguistic research carried out on English since the 1950s. It incorporates insights from the theoretical literature but presents them in a way that is accessible to readers without formal training in linguistics. It is based on a sounder and more consistent descriptive framework than previous large-scale grammars, and includes much more explanation of grammatical terms and concepts, together with justification for the ways in which the analysis differs from traditional grammar. The book contains twenty chapters and a guide to further reading. Its usefulness is enhanced by diagrams of sentence structure, cross-references between sections, a comprehensive index, and user-friendly design and typography throughout. RODNEY HUDDLESTON held lectureships at the University of Edinburgh, University College London, and the University of Reading before moving to the Department of English at the University of Queensland, where he won an ‘Excellence in Teaching’ award, and in 1990 was awarded a Personal Chair; he is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. He has written numerous articles and books on English grammar, including The Sentence in Written English (1971), An Introduction to English Transformational Syntax (1976), Introduction to the Grammar of English (1984), and English Grammar: An Outline (1988). He was the founding editor of the Australian Journal of Linguistics (1980–85).
