The Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English is an entirely new grammar of American and British English - from the language of conversation to the language of academic textbooks. There are no made-up examples in this groundbreaking new grammar. The authors began, not with preconceived notions of the grammar of English, but with a huge bank of language data, the Longman Corpus Network.
A six-year research project brought together the linguistic expertise of an international author team - all acknowledge experts in the field of corpus linguistics and grammar.
The result of this research is the present volume. Many points of traditional grammar are confirmed, but now on the bases of much larger amount of statistical data than ever before. Some aspects of traditional grammar are challenged by this book, and some new findings, not even suspected before now, will surprise and interest the reader.

This book is intended to use by students working alone or as supplementary drill material in a class. It has been written with a view of teaching the fundamentals and basic principles of functional grammar. Functional grammar is incidental grammar which is acquired by the pupils unconsciously by imitation or consciously by observation and deduction. In the very process of learning the correct sentence patterns, the pupil is learning grammar. This disguised and unformulated grammar is called functional grammar.
