Edited by Robert Allen
4000 entries
This Pocket edition is based primarily on Robert W. Burchfield's renowned The New Fowler's Modern English Usage. Robert Allen has taken all the key elements from the parent work, rewriting entries to present the arguments and recommendations in a more accessible and digestible form, and has added completely new topics such as American English, new words, and gender-neutrality. Clear guidance on grammar, usage, syntax, and style for English is provided.
Robert Allen is an experienced lexicographer and assistant editor on The Oxford Companion to the English Language, also available on Oxford Reference Online.
