Taylor & Francis Ltd Russian : A Comprehensive Grammar

Russian: A Comprehensive Grammar gives a practically complete description of the grammatical system of the contemporary Russian language, including phonetics, morphology, word formation, and syntax. It illuminates grammatical categories by focusing on forms and semantics, using as a basis the comparative analysis of language categories in Russian and English and accompanying accessible but not simplistic explanations with authentic examples.It employs a parallel presentation of grammatical and semantic information that elucidates important points and allows the exploration of alternative linguistic approaches. Russian: A Comprehensive Grammar serves a broad linguistic community, including students of Russian at any level, graduate students in linguistics or pedagogy, for independent study, and it can also be a valuable reference for instructors to mine for methodological material.
