ABSTRACT
The doctor’s wife has nerves of steel, and yet the doctor’s wife is reduced to tears because of a personal pronoun, an adverb, a verb, an adjective, mere grammatical categories …
The idea that grammar has such magical properties may come as a surprise to some, but it is an idea that has been around for a long time. Historically, the word “glamour” is a variant of the word “grammar”, with the current meaning reallocating the magical powers of grammar to the enchantment that comes with style and physical beauty. Times and tastes may change, but one goal of this book is to convince you that grammar is still magical and glamorous!
