Most grammar books treat you like a robot, feeding you lists of rules to memorize without explanation, but this book respects your intelligence by showing you the why behind the what. Its major competitive advantage is that it moves beyond traditional "school grammar" and adopts the rigorous, modern framework of linguists like Huddleston and Pullum.
