English Grammar: Language As Human Behavior
This book encourages native English speakers to see the language as a product of the people who use it and to understand that these people actively shape the language. It encourages curiosity about how others use English and introduces the idea that competing descriptions of language structure and varying opinions about correctness exist.  Written in an informal, conversational style, English Grammar: Language as Human Behavior combines traditional grammatical terminology with the insights of modern linguistic analysis and encourages readers to observe the language in action. A chapter on word-construction, pronunciation, and spelling demonstrates how English functions as an organic whole with interrelated parts.  A valuable reference book on English Grammar for any reader wishing to understand the dynamics of English usage while improving his writing skills.
