Every language has its peculiar problems of meaning for the
foreign learner. In the English language, some of the biggest yet most
fascinating problems are concentrated in the area of the finite verb phrase: in
particular, tense, aspect, mood and modality.
Meaning and the English Verb describes these fields in detail
for teachers and advanced students of English as a foreign or second
language. This new third edition uses up-to-date examples to showdifferences and
similarities between American and British english, reflecting a great deal of
recentresearch in this area. It also takes account of the subtle changes
which are taking place in the language today.
In print for over 30 years, Meaning and the English Verb has
established itself as a recognised authorityon the meaning and use of verb
constructions in English. This updated third edition will ensure that it
remains an invaluable text for teachers and students of English
worldwide.
