Grammar Matters packs a lot of punch into its pocketbook size. For linguists, this book is a perfect response for every time you tell someone you’re a linguist and they start revealing their pet hates about English. It’s a book that promotes linguistics, explains the social significance of language and encourages reflection on our own prejudices. It should certainly be handed out to those who relished Eats, Shoots and Leaves.
