Russian: A Comprehensive Grammar
关于此电子书
It illuminates grammatical categories by focusing on forms and semantics, using as a basis the comparative analysis of language categories in Russian and English and accompanying accessible but not simplistic explanations with authentic examples. It employs a parallel presentation of grammatical and semantic information that elucidates important points and allows the exploration of alternative linguistic approaches.
Russian: A Comprehensive Grammar serves a broad linguistic community, including students of Russian at any level, graduate students in linguistics or pedagogy, for independent study, and it can also be a valuable reference for instructors to mine for methodological material.

At present he is compiling the Russian entries for GLAD (a global database of Anglicisms).
