Description: "This is a guide to Italian usage for students who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English-speakers. Careful consideration is given throughout to questions of style, register and politeness which are essential to achieving an appropriate level of formality or informality in writing and speech. This is reference for learners seeking access to the finer nuances of the Italian language."--BOOK JACKET.
