Danish An Essential Grammar 1st edition PDF download
Danish: An Essential Grammar is a comprehensive reference guide to the key aspects of contemporary Danish as used by native speakers. It emphasizes areas of Danish that are particularly challenging for learners while also offering a broad overview of the language.
This grammar guide is an ideal reference for Danish learners at the beginner and intermediate levels. It is suitable for independent study and for students in schools, colleges, universities, and adult education classes of all types.
Features include:
- Clear, jargon-free explanations
- Numerous tables and diagrams for added clarity
- Detailed contents list
- Separate glossary of linguistic and grammatical terms
- Comprehensive index with key Danish and English words
The book has two primary aims.
First, it provides a concise description of Danish phonology, morphology, and syntax, along with a brief account of orthography, punctuation, and word formation.
Second, it offers a detailed examination of areas of Danish structure that pose special challenges for English-speaking learners. Most examples are translated to assist learners.
Throughout the book, the ‘new comma’ recommended by the Danish National Language Council has been used.
While the approach and terminology are largely traditional, a separate glossary of ‘Linguistic Terms’ at the end explains several terms used.
The tables and diagrams are designed to make the book user-friendly; in many cases, learners can predict word forms and clause patterns from just a few rules. The index includes paragraph references to linguistic concepts and some Danish and English keywords and their uses, serving as a starting point for any search.
Learners progressing to an intermediate level or seeking more thorough explanations of specific points may wish to consult our more detailed Danish: A Comprehensive Grammar .
We extend our gratitude to Henrik Galberg Jacobsen for his invaluable feedback, especially on the chapter on pronunciation, and to Dinah Bechshoft at the Danish Ministry of Education for financial support during the preparation phase. We also thank our colleagues and students for their helpful suggestions, though any errors are our own.
