Shows how grammar helps people communicate and looks at the ways grammar and meaning interrelate. This book starts from the notion that a speaker codes a meaning into grammatical forms which the listener is then able to recover. It uncovers a rationale for the varying grammatical properties of different words and explains many facts about English.
