À propos de ce titre

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write.

As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word. As a foundation for writing, a detailed grounding in grammar and usage will hugely expand your resources for meaningful verbal expression, for navigating the subtleties of the language, and for achieving clarity of communication and stylistic power.

In English Grammar Boot Camp, linguist and popular Great Courses instructor Professor Curzan takes you on an enjoyable exploration of the essential aspects of English grammar. These 24 spirited and accessible lectures offer you a comprehensive core training - a linguistic "boot camp," by which we mean a thorough immersion in all of the key elements of English grammar and usage, in their most immediate, practical application.

Here you get a breadth of perspective and context you won't find elsewhere, leaving you with a more choices and rich verbal resources for your own use of the language. In discussing the different parts of speech, Professor Curzan directs your attention to how the element at hand evolved. Highlighting reflections from 18th- and 19th-century usage guides as well as from multiple modern commentators, she guides you in examining real-world language use in a variety of contexts, helping you develop a sophisticated frame of reference and a deep awareness of the idiosyncrasies of English.

This delightful and superbly insightful course offers you a unique opportunity to explore the linguistic riches of the English language, and to significantly deepen your mastery of grammar, usage, and style.

I’ve been learning English for many years and try to maintain it by listening English books. I learned more from this book than from many courses at the University.

Awesome!!!

I found this really entertaining, very interesting and authentic. Sure, not a book you listen to in one session, but like a box of chocolates to be enjoyed one by one every now and then.

Many fun? No, much fun!

The English Grammar Boot Camp is a series of 24 lectures for total language nerds. Each lecture focuses on a specific grammatical structure (like noun phrases, prepositions, or punctuation) and describes several usage issues.

The author Anne Curzan is both an English professor and a linguist. As a result she manages to include both the prescrictive (how should you use the language) and the descriptive perspective (how is the language actually used). As a result I became more aware of several usage rules in Standard American English while (hopefully) also becoming more lenient with other people and their language usage.

This book's target audience is mainly native English college students who want to become a writer or an editor. I am neither of those but still had an fabulous time listening to this book.

Amazing Resource for Grammar Nerds
