Post by HaloGeek »

Are there any good books out there that look at English from a Linguistic perspective instead of your typical "English Textbook"?

Thanks

The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language by Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey K. Pullum.
"It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be said, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is.' Rather, the Kingdom of the Father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it."
– The Gospel of Thomas
