Ronald Wardhaugh is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. His many successful books include An Introduction to Sociolinguistics (fourth edition, Blackwell 2002) and Proper English (Blackwell 1998).
"As a linguistics author writing for the more general student
audience, Wardhaugh has that uncommon ability to explain in a clear
and readable style the essentials of English grammar." William
Rutherford, University of Southern California
"The profession desperately needs introductory texts that bring
linguistics to students in a readable style without compromising
the integrity of linguistic enquiry. Understanding English Grammar
is such a text." Walt Wolfram, North Carolina State University
"This is ideal for a full discussion of sentence complexity within
a one-semester English grammar course." Bethany Dumas, University
of Tennessee
