Using Russian
Using Russian
is a guide to Russian usage for those who have already
acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their
knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to
those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to
English speakers, and focuses on questions of style and register which
are all too often ignored. Clear, readable and easy to consult, it will
prove invaluable to students seeking to improve their fluency and
confidence in Russian.
This second edition has been substantially revised and expanded to
incorporate fresh material and up-to-date information. Many of the
original sections have been rewritten, the passages illustrating register
are all fresh and one brand new chapter has been added, providing a
clear picture of Russian usage in the twenty-first century.
