italian grammar

Modern Italian Grammar follows an entirely new approach to learning Italian. It
embraces a new way of looking at grammar not as an ultimate goal, but as the
tool with which we construct a dialogue or a piece of writing.
Modern Italian Grammar is specifically designed to be accessible to the
English reader not brought up in the Italian tradition of grammar and language
analysis. It is unique both in its combination of formal grammar reference section
and its guide to usage organized along functional lines, and because it has been
compiled by an English mother-tongue teacher of Italian and an Italian native
speaker, working closely together.
It is the ideal reference text to use with newer language courses, for both
beginner and advanced learner.
The course books and textbooks published over the last two decades are based
on the principles of the communicative approach to language learning, which
recognizes that the objective of any language learner is to communicate, to get
one's message across, and that there can be many different ways of doing this,
rather than a `right' way and a `wrong' way
The communicative approach emphasizes language functions rather than
structures. Traditional reference grammars present language by structure, making
them inaccessible to learners who have no knowledge of grammatical
terminology. Modern Italian Grammar presents language by function, with
examples of usage and full explanations of how to express specific functions in
Part B. At the same time it retains the traditional presentation of language by
structure in Part A, which illustrates language forms and grammatical systems in
a schematic way: word formation and morphology, verb conjugations, tenses,
use of conjunctions and verb constructions.
