 Anderson, S. R. - Introduction to the Grammar of English Books at Real Groovy New Zealand
Rodney Huddleston does not espouse any formalised contemporary model of syntax and morphology, but he adopts the framework of modern 'structural' linguistics, in a very broad understanding of that term.
The grammatical categories postulated derive from a study of the combinational and contrastive relationships the words and other forms enter into, and Dr Huddleston pays particular attention to the problem of choosing between alternative analyses and justifying the analysis he proposes.

 A Student's Introduction to English Grammar (Rodney Huddleston, Geoffrey Pullum)
Huddleston and Pullum draw on the latest research, having "frequently found that pronouncements unchallenged for 200 years are in fact flagrantly false".
Huddleston and Pullum believe "that every educated person in the English-speaking world should know something about the details of the grammar of English", but SIEG is aimed more narrowly, at students of English or linguistics.
It doesn't assume any prior knowledge of grammar or linguistics, but it is pretty solid and those without any background at all in formal approaches to language (or possibly computer science or mathematics) are likely to find it daunting.

Another general problem is that constructions in the spoken variety of one language may be typologically different from the constructions in the written variety.
It may be excluded by copy-editors (see Cameron (1995) but is common in unplanned speech (of educated speakers) and even in writing, as in (3).

 Print Article: English: it's gone to the dogs
The angry letter came because Huddleston had collaborated with another great grammarian, the US-based Professor Geoffrey Pullum, to produce a definitive new grammar of the English language.
Before he embarked on the Cambridge grammar, Huddleston went to a bookshop and asked for 50 different school grammar textbooks.
Huddleston thinks this is why they are so upset when those rules are broken: "They had this drummed into them at school and had to make a great deal of effort to learn these rules and they want to get some value from them."

 The definitive text on English grammar for the 21st century - UQ News Online - The University of Queensland
University of Queensland Emeritus Professor Rodney Huddleston says many students have been browbeaten by the teaching of unenlightened “prescriptive” grammar, whose rules for “correct” English are often in conflict with actual usage.
Professor Huddleston`s response to this has been to describe comprehensively the grammatical rules of different forms of English in a 1860-page book, The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, to published by Cambridge University Press on April 25.
Professor Huddleston said the major aim of the project was to present a new analysis of English grammar taking account of research in linguistics over the last fifty years.

 Lingua Franca - 4 May 2002  - Anyone who had a Heart...
Geoff Pullum: When Rodney Huddleston and I had finally finished the manuscript of The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, and at last it began to look like the publication would not be our first posthumous one, Cambridge University Press sent it out to some well-known scholars to see what they thought of it.
One of them, which Rodney Huddleston just pointed out to me the other day, involves those tags like 'doesn't it?' and 'can't they?' that people put on the ends of sentences when they want a bit of confirmation.

 Society of Editors (Qld) Inc. - Grammar for the 21st century (April 2004)
Professor Rodney Huddleston came to our April meeting to discuss some of the ideas in The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (CGEL), of which he is the principal author.
Professor Huddleston presented many other examples of the weaknesses of traditional grammar, and we might wonder how traditional grammarians got it so wrong.
We can only hope that it is the informed and up-to-date grammar described by Professor Huddleston, rather than traditional grammar, that will be taught in the schools of this century.

 Language Log: WYSIAANWTG: What You See Is Almost Always Not What They Get
Rodney completed the final edit of the new book using WordPerfect 6 for DOS (because he standardized on that in the late 1980s and now has too big of an investment in macros and text files to switch).
But there is a real problem about neither Rodney or me being sure we have a version with the same page breaks as the CUP copy: we will never know what the copy editor means in her emailed queries ("On page 138, seven lines up, should which be changed to that?").
Rodney had printed it out originally to check it before doing the electronic mailing, but his copy didn't match the CUP copy with regard to page breaks.

Furthermore, Huddleston and Pullum think that "Mukherjee may be confusing the purpose of a descriptive reference grammar with the aim of statistical studies of frequencies" (RESP).
Extraposition Huddleston and Pullum think that the reviewer is unable to acknowledge the distinction between canonical and non- canonical structures in CamGr ("he apparently does not see its relevance here", RESP).

 Language Log: Broken English from Ahnold?
I thought of using it as an exercise in a grammar texbook I'm writing with Rodney Huddleston, but Rodney vetoed it as disrespectful, so we won't be using it.
(The full story about backshifted preterites, which is mouthwateringly subtle and rich, is told in Rodney Huddleston's spectacular chapter on the verb in The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, pp.
The thing about the Schwarzenegger quote is that the preterite in the subordinate clause is obligatory: the subordinate clause actually does refer to past time, so the present in while I'm working out really does sound a bit weird.

 Lingustics Advance Course Information Fall 2004
The aim is that students should be able to analyze sentences confidently and accurately in terms that are of broad relevance for many different grammatical theories and constitute a baseline minimum understanding of sentence and word structure to permit intelligent speculation concerning theoretical explanation of such structure.
The course text will be a new book by Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey K. Pullum; it is to be published in 2005 by Cambridge University Press, and by special arrangement it will be made available for this class in typescript form.
The prerequisite listed for this course is Linguistics 52 or 55, and it would be ideal if students had taken those, because a serious level of engagement with linguistic material will be expected.
