Winning the Grammar Wars: What grammar really is and how we use it
“Highly readable and engaging, stimulating, punchy, always eloquently expressed and perfectly judged for the general reader. Winning the Grammar Wars – what grammar really is and how we use it is a book that challenges the many easy public opinions about what grammar is or what people believe it should be. Dave Willis replaces opinions both with evidence from multi-million word databases showing how the English language really works and with evidence from his own extensive world-wide experience as a researcher and teacher. The practical ideas for parents and suggested activities for teachers on the accompanying website are a wonderful added bonus. Very highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the English language and how we all use it to communicate.” Professor Ronald Carter, University of Nottingham Click here to buy Winning the Grammar Wars from Amazon
