Essentials of English Grammar (Alabama Linguistic & Philological Ser: V) - Tapa blanda

"It is extraordinary that the greatest authority on English grammar at the present day should be a Danish professor. . . . Jespersen's treatment of English grammar is far more logical and far more elastic than the traditional methods. He writes with the ease of perfect mastery." - Teacher's World (England) "A very valuable work by one of the foremost authorities on the English language. No library should fail to acquire it; it is possibly the best one-volume treatment of English grammar to date." - Choice

A classic of English grammar, Essentials of English Grammar provides a common ground for the traditionalist and the structural or descriptive linguist. Jespersen's work provides insight into the fundamental concepts that underlie the linguistic approach, but at the same time the foundation of the traditional approach is retained.
