Résumé

Based on the insights and discoveries of the ground-breaking Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English, this new book brings fresh perspectives to the study of English grammar. The Longman Student Grammar of Spoken and Written English is a pedagogical coursebook for advanced students at university or on teacher-training courses, and an invaluable reference grammar. It combines a comprehensive examination of grammatical structure with information about the how, when, and why of English as it is really used.
The Longman Student Grammar. - examines patterns of use in news, fiction, academic, and spoken English ; - takes grammar and vocabulary together and looks at how they interact ; - is based on an analysis of 40-million words of British and American, written and spoken corpus text ; - uses over 3000 examples of real, corpus English to illustrate the points ; - uses frequency tables and graphs to make the new findings of this grammar clear.
The workbook, available separately, can be used in class and for individual study.
