English Grammar: Principles and Facts, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: Too Esoteric
Review: This book is not for the average person to refresh his or her understanding of English grammar. This book investigates grammar from a perspective that demands far too much effort for anyone looking to review rules of grammar. Often the standard terminology for grammar is replaced by the author's own vocabulary. Perhaps the book would be helpful for someone who is an aspiring linguist searching for a multiplicity of esoteric investigations of the English language. This book could be one of those investigations. Or maybe a college student could use this book as part of his/her background material in writing a paper. Otherwise, the ratio of effort to reward is not satisfactory.
