註釋"Grammar, as most people understand it, means tenses, cases, genders, declensions and so on, taught at school but almost invariably forgotten, without apparent loss to our faculties. What we have learnt is English systematically forced into the formal categories of Latin which it will not bend to. Hence 'Between you and I' has become the common expression. However, in modern linguistics grammar means much more than this - it means the precise and scientific description of the structure of a language. In this book Professor Palmer takes the reader simply and clearly through the concepts of the traditional grammar, the structural approach of nineteen-forties and fifties, and the most recent and revolutionary ideas of transformational generative grammar."-- Publisher.
