The Grammar Dictionary
An essential reference for students and teachers, The
Grammar Dictionary covers over 250 terms using examples drawn from
real-life texts that range from the works of Shakespeare, Mark Twain
and Emily Dickinson to current works from Time magazine and The
Scientist. It gives detailed and accessible information on familiar
terms such as "noun," "subject" and
"predicate;" and also on more obscure but equally important
ones such as "absolute construction," "aspect"
and "modality." Terms are drawn from traditional grammar
and the most recent work in universal grammar. The illustrative
examples come from over 100 real-life texts that are at the heart of
the Dictionary, because they serve to illustrate the points of
grammar. The author does this to get away from the sort of trivial
examples common to most grammar texts ("The fox chased the
hare") and to show that real people in the real world use many
complex grammar features. 196 pages. Gr 4-12
