About the Book

"A Comprehensive Russian Grammar" provides a definitive guide to 20th-century Russian usage, taking many of its examples from the press and contemporary literary sources. The new edition draws on feedback from users of the previous version to build on its existing strengths. The sections covering phonology and animacy/inanimacy have been reworded and reordered and a new section on word formation has been added. Elements of the new post-Soviet vocabulary have been introduced to reflect changes in language use.
