An Introduction to English Grammar
An Introduction to English Grammar provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects of English grammar. The first part of the book (‘The Grammar’) provides a step-by-step introduction to the key topics in English grammar. The second part (‘The Applications’) shows how a grasp of these topics can be helpful in resolving usage problems, in developing a clear writing style, and in mastering punctuation and spelling. A whole chapter, ‘English in Use’…

Comparing English Worldwide
The International Corpus of English is a unique linguistic and sociolinguistic project. When complete it will consist of fifteen or more parallel corpora of spoken English drawn from countries where English is either a majority first language or an official second language. Part I introduces the ICE project and a sub-project that investigates writing by advanced learners of English. Part II describes in detail the design of the corpora, the marku…

Positions of adverbial clauses in British English
In this paper we report the results of our investigations into the positions of adverbial clauses in a subset of the British ICE corpus. The subset consists of 42 texts drawn from six text types, three from written English and three from spoken English. We manually marked the adverbial clauses for their positions relative to their host clause, and for their semantic types. The paper attempts to identify some of the factors which influence the cho…
The International Corpus of English (ICE) Project
ICE (the International Corpus of English) was initiated to provide the resources for comparative studies of the Englishes used in countries where it is either a majority first language or an official additional language. The national or regional corpora that constitute the components of ICE are expected to conform to a specified common design. Software has been created to facilitate the grammatical annotation of the corpora and to enable the retr…
Clause relationships in spoken and written English
There are opposing views on whether speech or writing is more complex syntactically. We investigated the complexity of clause relationships in a range of spoken and written text categories: spontaneous conversations, broadcast discussions, unscripted monologues, personal handwritten letters, academic writing, and non-academic writing. Conversations proved to be the most distinctive category. It had the highest percentage of simple clauses and the…

Standard English and the international corpus of English
The grammarians reply
In ET17, Tony Fairman claimed that some descriptive grammarians are becoming prescriptive and that they risk presenting ‘Standard English’ as if it were all of English or at least the only English that matters. ET asked four professional grammarians to respond to his observations. Sidney Greenbaum and John Sinclair were specifically named by Tony Fairman

On the writing of grammars
Grammar books are written for many purposes and with different users in mind. What are the particular problems of the scholarly reference grammar towards the end of the 20th century
Reference grammars and pedagogical grammars
Four types of grammar are distinguished according to mode of use: reference grammars, pedagogical grammars, theoretical grammars, and teach‐yourself grammars. Four factors are shown to enter into a typology of grammars: the mode of use, the language of the user, the level of the user, and the aims of use. Reference grammars and pedagogical grammars are characterized, the former with particular respect to A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Lan…

English and a grammarian's responsibility
The distinction between descriptive and prescriptive grammars is by no means as sharp as is generally assumed. Descriptive grammars need to take account of prescriptive norms in describing how the language functions since they affect choices in at least certain styles. Descriptive grammarians should indeed offer guidance on prescriptive norms, on clarity in written communication, and on linguistic morality. Descriptive grammars embody value judgm…

Some Verb-Intensifier Collocations in American and British English
N A RECENT ISSUE of American Speech, Dwight Bolinger made an eloquent plea for the importance of understanding the lexicon, pointing out that linguists have generally been content to leave lexical study to the dictionary-makers.1 The language models adopted by most American linguists allow little space for the treatment of vocabulary: the relationships between words-in the flow of speech and in paradigmatic sets-is allocated to the two major comp…

Language Variation and Acceptability
Linguists have disagreed over what sequences to include in a description of the English language. The disagreements often reflect differences in their goals and theory; the result has been that what is acceptable does not necessarily coincide with what is grammatical within a particular grammatical theory. In addition, native speakers of a languageincluding linguists-frequently disagree as to whether particular sequences are acceptable; differenc…
