Abstract
The grammar textbooks make up the majority of textbook sales. There are many variations of grammar textbooks in the market, which makes it harder for a user to decide when purchasing a grammar book. In this paper, I will be analyzing one of the grammar textbooks - Analyzing English Grammar 7th edition. In the first part of my analysis I talk about the concepts illustrated in the book and define the meaning of key terminology. In the second part, I will raise the issues regarding the pros and cons of this textbook, and its usefulness. Using the ideas in “Writing Grammar Textbooks: Theory and Practice” by Patricia Byrd (Georgia State University 1994), I will show the criteria for a good grammar book. Then, I will compare “Analyzing English Grammar” to those criteria to demonstrate evidence to support my views about the usefulness of this textbook. In the end I will provide additional information about the textbook, and conclude my opinions.
