A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish, 4th edition by John Butt
A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish has established itself as the standard English-language reference grammar for the Spanish language. It provides a comprehensive, accessible, and jargon-free guide to the forms and structures of Spanish as it is currently spoken and written in Spain and Latin America. Extensive examples are used to illustrate grammatical points, many from contemporary sources in both Spain and the Americas that highlight, where appropriate, differences in regional usage. Levels of usage (formal, colloquial, familiar, and popular) are specified, so that the importance of context in the use of language is recognized. This new edition has been updated throughout; it is the first grammar in English that incorporates the findings of the exhaustive new descriptive grammar of the Royal Spanish Academy (Gramatica descriptive de la lengua espanola, 5300pp). The 4th edition is also more accessible to students; complex explanations have been simplified and clarified, and a glossary of grammatical terms has been added to aid students.
"A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish is an essential reference tool for all interested in the Spanish languageThe most extensive and accurate single-volume comprehensive source of information on contemporary Spanish language currently in existence in the English language." George DeMello, Professor of Hispanish Linguistics, The University of Iowa "The most important event to occur in the descriptive linguistics of Spanish for many years." The Times Higher Education Supplement"
