Signs: A Grammar Handbook
Allison D. Smith, Sarah B. Gray
Going above and beyond the average grammar handbook, this title features sections on writing contexts, processes, and rhetorical argumentation. It uses tips, exercises, and notes for multilingual writers in order to give students helpful signposts on their journey toward effective language use. New to the second edition is a full section on composing an essay, with topics including paragraphing, the writing process, research, rhetoric, and integrating sources. Students will also benefit from an overview of new citation styles (including Chicago, CSE and MLA 9th edition) and New Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Opportunities.
