As a living language, Australian English is constantly changing, so that written language that was not acceptable even ten years ago may well be acceptable now. The Cambridge Australian English Style Guide is both an assessment of the current state of Australian English and a guide to its style and usage. It is full of interesting information about why certain preferences are coming into use and, without being prescriptive, will give users all the information they need to make an appropriate choice. With more than 2,500 alphabetical entries and a range of diagrams, this book will make life easier for anyone who deals with written language. *** Quantity Available: 1.
