Annotation
This book sets out to compile a non-contrastive grammar, which demonstrates how each item or structure is used in its own right, rather than comparing it to members of the same or a contrasting paradigm. This will also enable to distinguish 'phraseologies', i.e. patterns of interrelating lexis and grammar and most useful analysis units.
