The Oxford Dictionary of English Grammar (Oxford Quick Reference) 2nd Edition

This book is absolutely magnificent! If you are planning on reading those massive books of "A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language" and "The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language", you'd better read this entire dictionary first.

This is just what I was looking for. This dictionary is an indispensable resource for ESL teachers, English teachers, linguistics and English majors, SLPs, and anyone with a serious interest in English grammar.

Found this book at the local university book store among ordinary dictionaries. To me, it's a gold mine. Not having read any grammar for some years, I'm delighted to have found an easy accessible dictionary for grammar terminology. I'm using it as a reference book alongside my ordinary grammar books.

Very disappointed. I was looking for a book outlining grammar rules according to the Oxford Dictionary (the best references available.) This book merely lists, in alphabetical order, all of the terms that I imagine grammarians use. Useful to them perhaps, but not to me.
