Two Grammatical Models of Modern English

Meer over het boek

The book explores two significant traditions in Modern English grammar: the traditional 'old grammar' from influential figures like Sweet and Quirk, and the contemporary 'new grammar' rooted in Chomskyan generative syntax. It aims to enhance understanding of Modern English grammar by examining both approaches, advocating for a recognition of the diversity and complexity within the language. The work encourages a balanced appreciation of these differing grammatical perspectives.
