Advanced English Grammar by Ilse Depraetere
Now in its third edition, this innovative textbook on English grammar uses linguistic theory and techniques to explain key concepts.
In my opinion ‘Advanced English Grammar’ is the best available pedagogical reference grammar of EnglishThough informed by concepts from functional and structural linguistics, the book shines with clear and accessible description, centred around real-life examples of how English is spoken and written. * Cliff Goddard, Professor in Linguistics, Griffith University, Australia *
This book will serve advanced students, teachers, and language professionals as a reliable guide on English grammar. It also lays the groundwork for the study of linguistics, introducing key terminology, alongside many exercises to train students’ linguistic awareness. The book stands out for its clarity and ambitious yet balanced coverage. * Professor Hendrik De Smet, University of Leuven, Belgium *
I highly recommend this third edition of Depraetere and Langford's Advanced English Grammar. I have used the first and second editions with undergraduates for over a decade. They provide precise yet accessible grammatical explanations. Well-designed exercises help students engage with the theoretical concepts, enhancing their command of English. * Philip Miller, Professor of English Linguistics, Université Paris Cité, France *
