What is A Grammar of Speech (Describing English Language) about?

This book provides an innovative analysis of English grammar in the spoken form. Hitherto, most grammars of English have relied heavily on the written language, and this excludes much normal spoken discourse. This work offers an alternative view of the structure of spoken English based on naturally-occurring language data. With its innovative analysis of English grammar in the spoken form, this book has relevance for many areas related to linguistics, such as artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, and machine translation.
