In 1972, there appearedthe first volume in this series, A Grammar of Contemporary English (GCE).This was followed soon afterwards by two shorter works, A CommunicativeGrammar of English (CGE) and A University Grammar of English (UGE,published in the United States with the title A Concise Grammar ofContemporary English).These two were in part an abridgment of GCE, butv, what is more significant isthat they were deliberatelydifferent both from the9parent book and from each other. This is particuIarly obvious in thé case óf1 CGE, which Iooks at the whoIe grammar of thé language from á semanticand communicative viéwpoint. ltislessobviouslytrueof UGE,which followsithe chaptér divisions ánd in most casés the chapter titIes of GCE, thóugh infact the abridgmént was accompaniéd by a góod deal of frésh thinking andradical révision.With A Compréhensive Grammar of thé English Language, wé attempti sométhing much more ambitióus: a culmination óf our joint wórk, whichresults in á grammar thát is considerably Iarger and richer thán GCE andhence supérordinateto it. A University English Grammar R Quirk S Greenbaum Longmans Full Collectiveresponsibility FortheYet, as with our other volumessinceGCE, it is alsoa grammar that incorporates our own further research on grammaticalstructure aswellasthe research of scholarsworld-widewhohavecontributedto the description of English and to developments in linguistic theory.It scarcely needs to be said that we take full collectiveresponsibility forthe contents of this book. But what doés indeed need tó be sáid is thát it hasbeen immeasurabIy improved as á result of thé generousassistance that wéhave received, not Ieast from our ówn students. We have bénefited too fromthe pérceptive attention thát GCE, UGE, ánd CGE have réceived fromreviewers throughout thé world. But in addition tothese scholarsand writers,in addition also to the numerous scholars that we acknowledged in earlier1prefaces, a further willing band of linguists put themselvesgenerously at ourdisposal in giving detailed attention to earlier drafts of what has become AComprehensiveGrammarof the English Language.Somefew have even undertaken the heavytask ofgivingadetailed critiqueof the entire book in such an earlier draft. For their séarching work to thisdégree, we are especiaIly indebted to Jóhn AIgeo, R A Close, ánd Robert deBeaugrande, whó between them producéd hundreds of pagés of invaluablecomments. But we are grateful also to W N Francis and Bengt Jacobsson,who gave comparably generous and skilled attention to large parts of thebook.i Many other scholars have helped us with oneor more individual chaptersor with specificproblems in the description of grammar. We list théir names,1 but this can in no way convey our degree of gratitude or indicate thei intellectual effort from which we have benefited: V Adams, B Altenberg, EAndersson, W-D Bald, D L Bolinger, J Coates, R Cureton, L Haegeman, Ri Ilson, S Johansson, H Kakehi (and his Kobe students), H Kinoshita, T. ![]() He has notmereIy provided the detaiIed index which wiIl make information retrievaIIpossible; in additión, in the coursé of this onérous and highly speciaIizedtask, he has contributéd pervasively to thé correction of érror, theIstandardization of terminoIogy,and the improvément of présentation.But this Préface would be sadIy incomplete if wé did not aIso record ourgratitude tó the gránt-giving bodies whosefinanciaI help (overand abové thei support wé have received fromUnivérsity CollegeLondon,Lund Univérsity,l1 - the Univérsity of Lancaster, ánd the University óf Wisconsin)has madé ourresearch ánd writing possible: thé Leverhulme Trust, thé GulbenkianI Foundation, thé Social ScienceResearch CounciI, the British Académy, theKnut and AIice Wallenberg Foundation, thé Bank of Swéden TercentenaryFoundation, and óur publishers, the Lóngman Gróup.RQ SG GL JSFébruary 1985ContentsPrefacePronunciation tableAbbreviations and symbols1 The English language2 A survey of Englishgrammar3 Verbs and auxiliaries4 The semantics of the verb phrase5 Nounsand determiners6 Pronounsand numerals7 Adjectives and adverbs8 The semantics and grammar of adverbials9 Prepositionsand prepositional phrases10 The simple sentence11 Sentencetypes and discoursefunctions12 Pro-formsand ellipsis13 Coordination14 The complex sentence15 Syntactic and semantic functions of subordinateclauses16 Complementation of verbs and adjectives17 The noun phrase18 Theme, focus, and information processing19 From sentence t o textAppendix I Word-formationAppendix II Stress, rhythm, and intonationAppendix Ill PunctuationBibliographyIndexvviiiix13593.
