Bøger af Jonathan Hope

This book introduces a method for determining the authorship of Renaissance plays by examining the rapid rate of change in English grammar.

Using a wide range of 20th-century literary prose, this text provides an "interactive" introduction to the techniques of stylistic analysis. Divided into five sections, the book provides an introduction to the basics of descriptive grammar for beginning students.

A is for Donkeys is an alphabetic adventure with a difference. Readers are invited to delight in the sounds and semantics of letters A-Z, discovering many quirks of the English language along the way. This is no simple reading primer - it's a celebration of the absurdities of spelling and pronunciation, using ingenious puns and idioms, old and new. The stylish letterform illustrations by Riccardo Guasco beautifully amplify the humour and occasional pathos of Jonathan Hope's playful verse. A gem of a book for all phonetics-phobic adults, linguistically-curious children and fun-seeking English language learners and teachers.
