Reviews

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 * 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 * ... 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 *
