P.; Upadhaya, Baburam\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book approaches the grammar of English through a more meaning-focused approach. Inspired by the theories of cognitive semantics (CS), it examines English more holistically in usage contexts. Adopting a functional approach, the book (i) discusses language phenomena that are usually ignored in pedagogical grammar books (e.g., the order of adjectives in the determiner phrase); (ii) presents grammar as a set of meaningful choices in a particular usage context (e.g., intelligence vs multiple intelligences); (iii) establishes connections across word categories and structures (e.g., between prepositions and phrasal verbs); (iv) attempts to offer explanations for complex areas of English by drawing on tools of CS analysis (e.g., examining articles, quantifiers, no article use, demonstratives, and possessive pronouns as part of a larger reference system); and (v) creates meaningful contexts for practice through communicative tasks.\u003cbr\u003eIt adopts a pedagogical approach with more easily accessible explanations and also contains communicative practice activities that are extremely useful to students, teachers, and teacher educators in English as a Second Language\/ Foreign Language (ESL\/ EFL) contexts to understand usage patterns, develop language awareness, and ultimately become proficient users.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-06-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032213167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 147\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266740736140,"sku":"9783032213167","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032213167_4dff28c7-d89e-4016-9fb3-f4d45b5a7737.jpg?v=1779973255","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032213167","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
