Based on the insights and discoveries of the ground-breaking Longman Grammar of Spoken and
Written English this new book brings fresh perspectives to the study of English grammar. The
Longman Student Grammar of Spoken and Written English is a pedagogical course book for advanced
students at university or on teacher-training courses and an invaluable reference grammar. It
combines a comprehensive examination of grammatical structure with information about the 'how'
'when' and 'why' of English as it is really used. The workbook available separately can be
used in class and individual study.
