English grammar text From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A modern English grammar on historical principles is a seven-volume grammar of English written by Otto Jespersen. The first volume ("part"), Sounds and Spellings, was published in 1909; two through five were on syntax; six was on morphology; and seven returned to the topic of syntax. It took until 1949 for all seven to be completed.[1]: 1766
In 1989 Randolph Quirk called the work "a continual source of inspiration and value".[2]
