| Summary |
Professor Drout continues to explore humanity's intimate association with language with language, here delving into the finer points of grammar. The intricacies of grammar, in fact, should not be relegated to the realm of fussy "guardians of the language," but are rather essential clues all can employ to communicate more exactly. In such a light, this cours forms an invaluable guide for everyone from all fields of interest. |
