  • Addresses foundational areas of research methodology
  • Explores a range of theoretical approaches to English grammar
  • Covers all the core subdomains of grammar, including morphology
  • Examines the relationship between grammar and other areas of linguistics
  • Explores grammatical variation across genres and dialects, and change over time

     
This handbook provides an authoritative, critical survey of current research and knowledge in the grammar of the English language. Following an introduction from the editors, the volume's expert contributors explore a range of core topics in English grammar, beginning with issues in grammar writing and methodology. Chapters in part II then examine the various theoretical approaches to grammar, such as cognitive, constructional, and generative approaches, followed by the chapters in part III, which comprehensively cover the different subdomains of grammar, including compounds, phrase structure, clause types, tense and aspect, and information structure. Part IV offers coverage of the relationship between grammar and other fields - lexis, phonology, meaning, and discourse - while the concluding part of the book investigates grammatical change over time, regional variation, and genre and literary variation. The handbook's wide-ranging coverage will appeal to researchers and students of English language and linguistics from undergraduate level upwards.

"... those who are looking for a concise yet exhaustive dive into the scholarly discourse surrounding English grammar and linguistics would be hard-pressed to find a better, more thorough introduction to the field." - Dylan Schrader, University of Alabama, Huntsville, Technical Communication
  

"this volume should be highly recommended to anyone interested in how language works: advanced students, for a broader awareness of the range of existing frameworks and to see how the frameworks they are most familiar with fit within the bigger picture; linguists working on English or other languages — for which not all of the frameworks might exist; and more generally anyone interested in grammars and other reference works, to understand why research is still ongoing, and will be for a long time yet." - Laure Gardelle, Cercles
  

"The Oxford Handbook of English Grammar is a welcome contribution to the literature, a successful introduction to many rich subjects, and both a substantial and pleasant read." - Cameron Morin, University of Paris, Linguist List
