Book Overview: A basic understanding of how English works is essential for all those who write or speak the language, but many people are bewildered by the terms employed in formal grammar. Fortunately, Cassell's Dictionary of English Grammar is on hand to help. Clearly and concisely, it guides the reader through more than 1000 key concepts, ranging from such fundamental terms as noun, adjective and verb to more sophisticated points of grammar, such as adverbial clauses and hanging participles. The dictionary also looks at modern grammatical concepts and theories, aspects of linguistics and phonetics, and rhetorical terms. The result is a wide-ranging and indispensable companion to the workings of the English language
