ENGLISH GRAMMAR This new edition of Downing and Locke’s award-winning text-book has been thoroughly revised and rewritten by Angela Downing to offer an integrated account of structure, meaning and function in relation to context.

It is accessible and reader-friendly throughout. Key features include: • Chapters divided into modules of class-length materials • Each new concept clearly explained and highlighted • Authentic texts from a wide range of sources, both spoken and written, to illustrate grammatical usage • Clear chapter and module summaries enabling efficient class preparation and student revision • Exercises and topics for individual study • Answer key for analytical exercises • Comprehensive index • Select bibliography • Suggestions for further reading This up-to-date, descriptive grammar is a complete course for first degree and post-graduate students of English, and is particularly suitable for those whose native language is not English.
