Description
Radden and Dirven have produced an engaging and readable book that successfully addresses a very real need. Using notions of cognitive linguistics, it not only provides a revealing survey of English grammar but makes apparent the conceptual basis of grammatical structure. Despite its non-technical presentation, Cognitive English Grammar shows considerable technical sophistication, covering central topics in reasonable depth and offering some new descriptive insights. This text should prove both useful and illuminating.
