Of the five authors of LGSWE, we three owe a debt of gratitude to our two other co-authors: Stig Johansson and Ed Finegan.
However, we have simplified the presentation when possible for example, we have tried hard to find new and simpler extracts from our corpus data, often replacing more complex examples in LGSWE. For example, like the LGSWE, the Student Grammar contains over 3,000 authentic English examples, and contrasts the major patterns of use in spoken and written registers. Rather, we have simplified and reorganized the content of the LGSWE, avoiding much technical detail while retaining the strengths of the larger book. Although it is based on the Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English (LGSWE), the Student Grammar is much more than just an abbreviated LGSWE.
