Críticas:

Praise for previous editions:

"A book I would recommend to Departments of English world-wide. Kuiper and Allan's book...deals with the bare bones of English structure - its sound system, its lexicon and its syntactic structure. The book...focuses practically and squarely on the language at hand, and it eschews the obfuscation of current linguistic squabbles and the arcanity of some of those representations. That said, however, it does no disservice whatsoever to the sophistication and findings of modern linguistic science." - Professor Dennis Preston, Michigan State University, USA

"Students will appreciate the detailed but clear discussion of introductory material on the structure of English and will also find the extensive, carefully graded exercises exceptionally helpful." - David Deterding, University of Brunei, Darrussalam
