Section I analyzes the segments of language in a systematic way, recognizing both lexical and functional categorization. It addresses parts of speech, movement and constituency, and common grammatical errors. Section II covers general questions surrounding linguistic phenomena. Particular attention is given to how a feature given account can assist in understanding specific language disorders and historical language change. This section includes a standalone chapter on the nature of child language acquisition. Section III is devoted to phonology and the (American) English International Phonetic Alphabet. It includes anecdotal evidence calling for a dual mechanism model of phonological representation. The final chapter discusses the use of tree diagramming in phonology.
The revised first edition includes a conclusion chapter, glossary, and index, allowing the first volume to be a self-contained text.
Minimum of English Grammar is an excellent introduction textbook for students of linguistics, syntax, and morphology.
Dr. Galasso is a faculty member in the departments of English and Linguistics at California State University, Northridge, and serves as an adjunct faculty member of linguistics at California State University, Long Beach.

"Nothing like this grammar has crossed my desk in fifteen years as a college professor...His prose is interesting and readable...My interest was immediately piqued by the sections on early child grammar, Shakespearean grammar, and the English sound system."
