The Grammar Book introduces teachers and future teachers to English grammatical constructions. This highly acclaimed text, used both as a course book and as a grammar reference guide, is suitable for all teachers of English.  What sets it apart from other grammar books is its unique pedagogical focus: It describes not only how each grammatical construction is formed, but also its meaning and its use. Grammar is seen to be a resource for making meaning in textually and socially appropriate ways.

About the Author

Diane Larsen-Freeman is Professor Emerita of Education, Professor Emerita of Linguistics, and Former Director of the English Language Institute at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She is also a Distinguished Senior Faculty Fellow at the School for International Training in Brattleboro, Vermont. Dr. Larsen-Freeman has been a conference speaker in over 60 countries of the world and has published over 100 articles in her areas of interest. Her Heinle/Cengage titles include "The Grammar Book: Form, Meaning, and Use for English Language Teachers" (third edition, 2015, co-authored with Marianne Celce-Murcia), "From Grammar to Grammaring" (2003, authored), and the fourth edition of "Grammar Dimensions: Form, Meaning, and Use" (2007, Series Director). From 1980-1985, Dr. Larsen-Freeman was Editor of the journal "Language Learning." In 1997, Dr. Larsen-Freeman was inducted into the Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1999, she was selected by ESL Magazine as one of "the ESL pioneers." In 2000, she received the lifetime achievement award from Heinle & Heinle.

Marianne Celce-Murcia (Ph.D. in Linguistics, 1972) is Professor Emerita of Applied Linguistics and TESL at the University of California, Los Angeles, where for 30 years she taught primarily graduate students, preparing to be language teachers and researchers. Beyond her work at UCLA, she taught in and administered English language programs in Nigeria (1964-1966), Egypt (Fall, 1980), Canada (Summer, 1983), and Armenia (2003-2007). She has lectured and led workshops all over the U.S. and in many other countries as well. In addition to her co-authorship (with Diane Larsen-Freeman) on the three editions of "The Grammar Book," she is co-editor (with Donna Brinton and Marguerite Ann Snow) of the fourth edition of "Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language" (2014) and series co-editor (with Maggie Sokolik) of the five-volume, content-based "Grammar Connection" series (2008-2009), all with Cengage Learning, who (as Heinle & Heinle) presented her with their lifetime achievement award in 1997. At UCLA Marianne was honored for distinguished teaching both as a graduate student (1964) and as a professor (1976).

Overall looks good except for the top portion which some pages have a approx 1/4 inch slit .
The bind on book looks good. There are only a few pages with pencil notes marked. I received it on a timely manner.. the only thing I noticed where the 1/8-1/4 inch slots at the top of the book on a few amount of pages . Pictures provided

    5.0 out of 5 stars "The GRAMMAR BOOK" -- Review from a semi-retired HS English Instructor
    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    The subtitle of the book which suggests it is an ESL Teacher's Guide is really MISleading ... it's one of the FINEST all-around books on English grammar EVER published, and is one where the reader must have a good degree of "prior knowledge" to appreciate the information contained in this book some of which I've never seen in any other English grammar book! There were a couple of areas that were condensed in this the 3rd edition that are expanded in the 2nd ed which is why I'm keeping my old edition; conversely, Professor Larsen expands on other areas in her 3rd ed which is a fair tradeoff. Also, the graphics and the layout using bold face type makes it an easier read this time around. Forget that it's geared for ESL students ... EVERY English teacher should at least be aware of this book if not have it as a permanent part of their classroom reference library. Additionally, I love the index / reference section at the end of the book where certain words can be looked at ["maybe vs perhaps" "some vs any," etc.] + the standard index of specific English topics, e.g., conditional sentences, prepositions, etc. Absolutely and positively LOVE this book! -- VictorGM@webtv.net

    This book is quite thorough and does a very good job of explaining the different grammar points. My main criticism is that, as a textbook, it is quite heavy and bulky and probably does not need a hard cover.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excepcional livro, mas de linguagem e conceitos mais herméticos e acadêmicos!
    Reviewed in Brazil on April 1, 2022

    Sim, é um excepcional livro de gramática de inglês norte-americano, destinado a professores de inglês como língua estrangeira!

    Mas, não, não aconselho que o compre antes de ter as gramáticas do Michael Swan (Practical English Usage) e do Martin Parrott (Grammar for English Language Teachers), porque "The Grammar Book..." tem um viés mais acadêmico e possui linguagem e conceitos mais herméticos.

    E compre o livro com capa dura -- vale cada centavo!

    Reviewed in Mexico on July 29, 2019

    This is one of the most complete grammar books that I hace ever read. Nevertheless, it requires a great understanding of grammar, as it's is nota meant for ESL beginners, but rather advanced or teacher's. It also includes some suggestions on how to introduce or teach some grammar topics. This is a must for every ESL teacher.

    5.0 out of 5 stars CGELなどと共にぜひ手元に備えたい記述文法書
    Reviewed in Japan on February 12, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    米国には英国のGCEやCGELに匹敵する本格的な記述文法は当時存在しなかったので、米語をベースにしたCelce-Murcia, M. and Larsen-Freeman, D. のThe Grammar Book: An ESL/EFL Teacher's Courseが1983年に出版されると、英語語法・文法に関心のある日本人研究者・学習者は大いに喜んだ。出版社のNewbury Houseもこれを察して日本にニューベリハウス出版社を設立し、販売に努めた。評者の持っている初版は箱入りで、箱には『現代アメリカ英語文法書』という邦題がついている。第2版は同じ著者、同じ書名でHeinle & Heinleから1999年に出版された（この頃には日本のニューベリハウス出版社はなくなっていたようである）。第3版はLarsen-Freeman and Celce-Murcia, M. The Grammar Book: Form, Meaning, and Use for English Language Teachers (National Geographic Learning)の形で出版されたが、著者が入れ替わり、サブタイトルも出版社も異なっているので、評者は上記のAmazon カスタマーさんのレビューを読むまでCelce-Mircia &Larsen-Freeman(1983)の第3版であることを見落としていた。
    改めて3冊を比べてみると、初版655頁、第2版854頁、第3版は判型も大型化し911頁もある。新しい知見、情報を取り入れて充実化して行く方向が読み取れる。具体例としてwhom の記述を比較してみる。初版(p.371)、第2版(p. 582)では「前置詞が後置される場合はwhoが好まれ, 前置詞が前置される場合はwhom のみ可」と言った趣旨の説明がなされていた (e.g. I spoke with the student who(m) I loaned the book to./I know the student to whom[*who] I loaned the book.)」が、第3版(p.618)ではこれに加えて…In the COCA spoken corpus(mostly TY news programs), for example, whom with prepositions accounts for over two-thirds of the total uses of whom(5037)...のような注記が加わった。コーパス根拠(corpus evidence)により記述がより客観的になり、信頼性が高まったといえよう。CGELなどと共にぜひ手元に備えたい記述文法書である。
