Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a clear and lively reference to the definitions and characteristic features of English, Welsh and American grammatical terminology of current usage. Some of the topics covered in the book include generative grammar, transformational grammar, categorical grammar, dependency grammar, relational grammar, functionalist grammar, arc pair grammar, generalized phrase structure grammar, among others. The book provides a comprehensive explanation for all the topics covered, and also gives relevant examples to help the readers understand the concepts in a better way. Leaving the path of critical definition, the book also attempts to target the general readers, and not just the student and teachers who frequent the world of grammar, traditional and modern.
