Description
This Italian reference grammar provides a comprehensive, accessible and jargon-free guide to the forms and structures of Italian. The authors have taken care to make it an easy and illuminating reference tool - there is a detailed index and lists of contents, and extensive cross-references. Careful explanations of technical terms are given and the points under discussion are always exemplified, with equivalent structures in English suggested. It gives clear and detailed explanations of everything from the most elementary facts such as the relation between the spelling and pronunciation, or the forms of the article, to more advanced points such as the various nuances of the subjunctive.
