Description
An invaluable new edition of an established work of reference that gives the linguistic and literary facts of the English language from *adverbs* to *zeugma*. Ronald Ridout, whose text books have sold over 45 million copies, and Anthony Hern, Literary Editor of the *Evening Standard*, have thoroughly revised and expanded this edition, bringing it up to date with current cultural and commercial usage. Over 1,000 entries, fully cross-referenced, explained and illustrated, and ranging from the elementary to the specialised, make this an ideal reference book for student and expert alike.
