FINNISH:
               AN ESSENTIAL GRAMMAR
               This is the ideal reference grammar for the student of Finnish. It gives a
               systematic account of the structures of the written language and also features
               the characteristics of colloquial Finnish as spoken in Helsinki and its
               surroundings.
               Finnish: An Essential Grammar is grounded in fundamental insights of
               modern linguistics. No prior knowledge is assumed on the part of the reader
               and grammatical rules are clearly explained without jargon.
               Features include:
                
               •    pronunciation guide
               •    thorough descriptions of morphology (word structure) and syntax
                    (sentence structure)
               •    inflection tables
               •    subject index
                
               Finnish: An Essential Grammar is a revised and updated edition of a volume
               first published in 1983, since when it has proved popular with students and
               professional linguists worldwide. It has been translated into several
               languages, including Finnish.
