Longman English Grammar-L G.Alexander ~ literăCUliteră

Grammatical descriptions of English which are addressed to learners

are often oversimplified and inaccurate This is the inevitable result of

lack of time in the classroom and lack of space in course books and

practice books Badly expressed and inaccurate rules, in turn, become

enshrined in grammar books directed at teachers and students The

misrepresentation of English grammar gives a false view of the

language, perpetuates inaccurate 'rules', and results in errors in

communication It is against this background that the Longman English

Grammar has been written

The primary aim of this book is to present a manageable coverage of

grammar at intermediate and advanced levels, which will serve two

purposes

1 To present information which can be consulted for reference

2 To suggest the range of structures that a student would need to be

familiar with receptively and (to a lesser extent) productively to be

able to communicate effectively

In other words, the book aims to be a true pedagogical grammar for

everyone concerned with English as a foreign language It attempts to

provide reasonable answers to reasonable questions about the

workings of the language and to define what English as a Foreign

Language is in terms of grammar
