Modern German Grammar: A Practical Guide , Third Edition is an innovative reference guide to German, combining traditional and function-based grammar in a single volume. The Grammar is divided into two parts. Part A covers traditional grammatical categories such as word order, nouns, verbs and adjectives. Part B is organised round language functions and notions such as: discussing possibilities making introductions attracting attention delivering a speech. The book addresses learners practical needs and presents grammar in both a traditional and a communicative setting. New to this edition, and building on feedback from the previous edition: the new spelling reform, the ongoing controversy of the ess-zett, or ß and the new rules (or rejection of the most recent reform, Die Reform der Reform) up-to-date examples of usage a pluricentric approach (covering the German of Switzerland and Austria) a section on and examples elsewhere of English loan-words an even more comprehensive index. The Grammar assumes no previous grammatical training and is intended for all those who have a basic knowledge of German, from intermediate learners in schools and adult education to undergraduates taking German as a major or minor part of their studies. The Grammar is accompanied by a third edition of the Modern German Grammar Workbook , ISBN 978-0-415-56725-1, which features directly linked exercises and activities.
