DESCRIPTION:
A Customer said okay but not that useful. If you already know a reasonable amount of Italian and you read through this book, you will pick up some worthwhile information about word usage etc. The problem I had with it, and the reason I only give it three stars, is that I found it difficult to impossible to use as a reference. Suppose you remember that there was something about a particular usagewell. "A must-have for serious students of Italian" according to A Customer. This text combines a traditional structural grammar section with the bulk of the book then divided into chapters on communicative functions. Comprehensive and clearly written. This book and Martin Maiden's A Reference Grammar of Modern Italian (which complements Proudfoot's book) should be in the library of any serious student of Italian.
