Czech: An Essential Grammar is a practical reference guide to the core structures and features of modern Czech. Presenting a fresh and accessible description of the language, this engaging grammar uses clear, jargon-free explanations and sets out the complexities of Czech in short, readable sections. This new revised edition has been thoroughly updated with examples of current usage, additional morphological explanations and an historical overview of Czech as to why two levels - written and spoken Czech - exist till this day.
Suitable for either independent study or for students in schools, colleges, universities and adult classes of all types, key features include:
focus on the morphology and syntax of the language
clear explanations of grammatical terms
full use of authentic examples
use of basic twenty-first-century English borrowings
detailed contents list and index for easy access to information.
With an emphasis on the Czech that native speakers use today,
Czech: An Essential Grammar will help students to read, speak and write the language with greater confidence. 'Karen von Kunes expands on James Naughton's already outstanding Czech grammar. Her historical outline of the Czech language in the introductory chapter represents a valuable addition to Naughton's book, which von Kunes elevates to the next level in its content and catapults it to the present time. Her indispensable linguistic comments and examples further clarify the subject matter. This edition is suitable for any student of Czech, ranging from beginners to advanced. It may well be the best Czech grammar currently available to learners of Czech.'
