The Survey of English Usage, University College London, is pleased to
announce the release of the Internet Grammar of English.

The Internet Grammar is an online course in English grammar written
primarily for university undergraduates. However, we hope that it will be
useful to everyone who is interested in the English language. The approach
is broadly traditional, though we have made use, where appropriate, of
modern theoretical work.

The grammar course consists of the following main sections:

Word Classes
Introducing Phrases
Clauses & Sentences
Form & Function
Functions in Phrases

Within these sections, the course is designed as a series of linked topics.
Most topics contain interactive exercises, which provide immediate feedback
based on the answers submitted. Some topics are illustrated using JavaScript
animations.

The Internet Grammar is fully searchable, and it includes a comprehensive
Glossary of grammatical terms and an Index.

The Internet Grammar is now available at this address:

http://www.ucl.ac.uk/internet-grammar/

To avoid potentially long download times, the Internet Grammar is also
available on CD-ROM. Prices start at 25 Pounds Sterling (GBP) + VAT, where
applicable. Institutional and network versions are charged at different
rates. For full details, visit the website above, or email the Survey of
English Usage at ucleseu@ucl.ac.uk.

With apologies for cross-postings.
