This is one of the rare books on English which covers every aspect of the language—vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and punctuation. It will open a new chapter in the learning process of every student. English is not so easy to learn as claimed by certain fly-by-night teaching centres, but every effort has been made in this book to understand the nuances of the language—and fast. English is one of the richest languages. It has borrowed extensively from all the major languages in the world, including Hindi. Mantra, chutney, dosa, etc have now become English words. A separate list of foreign words is given in this book. Twenty students have ‘left’ the class means gone out of the class. Twenty students are ‘left’ in the class means remained in the class. ‘That’s life’ means bad/hard life while ‘This is the life’ means good life. A fat chance or a slim chance have the same meaning. Such oddities have been explained in the book quite clearly. This book will be useful not only for students but for all who want to learn English from A to Z and want to use the language with authority.

"English is so illogical!" It is generally believed that English is a language of exceptions. For many, learning to spell and read is frustrating. For some, it is impossible... especially for the 29% of Americans who are functionally illiterate. But what if the problem is not the language itself, but the rules we were taught? What if we could see the complexity of English as a powerful tool rather than a hindrance? --Denise Eide Uncovering the Logic of English challenges the notion that English is illogical by systematically explaining English spelling and answering questions like "Why is there a silent final E in have, large, and house?" and "Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?" With easy-to-read examples and anecdotes, this book describes: - the phonograms and spelling rules which explain 98% of English words - how English words are formed and how this knowledge can revolutionize vocabulary development - how understanding the reasons behind English spelling prevents students from needing to guess The author's inspiring commentary makes a compelling case that understanding the logic of English could transform literacy education and help solve America's literacy crisis. Thorough and filled with the latest linguistic and reading research, Uncovering the Logic of English demonstrates why this systematic approach should be as foundational to our education as 1+1=2.

Despite a history of hundreds of years of research analysing aspects of English grammar, there are still open problems which continue to baffle language researchers today. Such ‘grammar mysteries’ arise for a number of reasons: because the language is changing; because different speakers of the language adhere to distinct norms and thus introduce and maintain variation in the system; because there are differences between the grammar of spoken and written English. This book illuminates some of the complexities of the subject, the areas where new discoveries await and why it matters. Through a series of accessible and engaging case studies on various aspects of grammar, from multiple negation to possession, the authors present grammar as an intellectual challenge. This book brings out into the open questions about language usage to which we still do not have good answers in a bid to make variation overt and to revel in the mystery of the English language. Both aimed at the interested general reader and the beginning student of English language and linguistics, this is a fresh take on grammar.
