Review: 初版（1980）は398頁＋indexであった。昔OUPの人に聞いた話では予想外に（特に日本で）よく売れて、改訂版を継続的に出すことになったという。2版（1995）以降はサイズが少し大きくなり658頁(indexを含む)、3版（2005）も同じく658頁(indexを含む)で、4版は635頁+indexとなった。３版までは語彙項目・文法用語とりまぜてアルファベット配列であった。たとえば、discourse marker は、D 見出しの…different, direct speech の次にあった。しかし、４版ではアルファベット配列は廃止され、語彙項目と文法用語は区別されて，文法用語はテーマ別配列となった（表紙にはcomplete topic-by-topic grammar/ guide to over 250 vocabulary problems とある）。different はSection 31 Word Problems from A to Zで、direct speech はSection 24 Noun Clauses, Direct and Indirect Speech で取り上げられている。discourse markerはdiscourse markers in writingとdiscourse markers in speech に分類され，前者はSection 26 Written Textsで、後者はSection 27 Speech and Spoken Exchanges で取り上げられている。文法用語の有機的関連性を見る上では有効な改訂だと思われるが、辞書を引くようなかたちでは検索が不可能である。構成を熟知するまではIndexから入って行くしか方法がないだろう。語彙項目は上述のSection 31 Word Problems from A to Z(アルファベット配列）で辞書を引くように引ける。 まず本書の構成に慣れるのに時間がかかりそうである。構成は大まかにいえば文法辞典がメインで語法辞典が付録的存在になったということだろうか。これまでPractical English Usage といえば語法辞典という印象が強かったので戸惑いが大きい。語法解説の変化など旧版との違いを取り上げるのは、構成に慣れてからということになるだろう。気がついたことがあれば追加情報として報告します。 Review: O primeiro pedido chegou rápido, porém tive de devolver devido danos, foi mal embalado, apenas em um fino saco bolha que pouco protege o produto em uma longa viagem. No segundo pedido a entrega internacional demorou apenas 13 dias, super rápida, meus parabéns a desertcart e finalmente acertaram na proteção do livro, foi bem embalado. Sobre o livro ainda irei ler e analisar, mas pesquisei bastante por uma gramática inglesa de referência, e este é reconhecido internacionalmente, vale a pena ter na estante, além disso é utilizado como livro de referência no edital de vários concursos importantes, a desertcart acertou em tê-lo a disposição. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #76,995 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #293 in Language Study for Young Adults #365 in Vocabulary, Slang & Word Lists #455 in Linguistics | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (393) | | Dimensions | 23.11 x 3.81 x 15.49 cm | | Edition | 4th | | ISBN-10 | 0194202410 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0194202411 | | Item weight | 907 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 768 pages | | Publication date | 22 December 2016 | | Publisher | Oxford University Press | ## Images ![Practical English Usage with online access.

Contiene regole, chicche, spunti grammaticali e culturali in un testo abbastanza pesante, ma abbastanza interessante da non poterne fare a meno. Dubbi e incomprensioni qui non esistono! Ne consiglio l'acquisto, specialmente se desiderate sbarazzarvi una volte e per tutte di quelle piccole difficoltà o incertezze che vi portate dietro da troppo tempo. Consiglio anche l'acquisto del testo con i relativi esercizi. ## Frequently Bought Together - Practical English Usage: Paperback with online access: Michael Swan's guide to problems in English - English Grammar in Use Book with Answers: A Self-study Reference and Practice Book for Intermediate Learners of English - Grammar for English Language Teachers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/258099809-practical-english-usage-with-online-access-michael-swans-guide-to](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/258099809-practical-english-usage-with-online-access-michael-swans-guide-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
