The principal authors, Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey Pullum, are among the world's leading scholars in this area, and they have benefited from the expertise of an international team of distinguished contributors in preparing what will be the definitive grammar for decades to come. Each chapter comprises core definitions, detailed analyses, notes explaining alternative interpretations of difficult or controversial points, and brief notes on usage and history. Numerous cross-references and an exhaustive index ensure ease of access to information. An introductory section offers guidance as to how best to use the book is provided. Rodney Huddleston was until recently Professor in the Linguistics section of the Department of English at the University of Queensland, Australia, and has been publishing important books and papers on English grammar for thirty years. Geoffrey K. Pullum is Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and is the author of 200 articles and books on English grammar and a variety of other topics in theoretical and applied linguistics. 919968 15 4 2002 The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language total:4|5:3|3:1| 4 18 12 1 5 0 false false Wed Dec 10 07:12:22 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 07:12:55 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 24 22:30:46 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 22:32:28 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Mar 25 21:34:46 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 21:34:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 03 15:36:19 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 09:11:16 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 13 08:03:23 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 08:03:23 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Nov 25 08:59:09 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 08:59:09 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Aug 21 21:31:09 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 21:34:57 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jul 02 09:07:39 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 09:08:07 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jun 29 13:36:55 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 13:40:03 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Feb 29 23:48:04 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 23:48:04 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 07 04:31:03 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 07 04:31:03 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Fri Jul 27 08:39:22 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 27 08:39:22 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=934984
