Quirk Grammar

夸克语法

The approach to grammatical description pioneered by British linguist (Charles) Randolph Quirk and his associates, and published in a series of reference grammars during the 1970s and 1980s, notably A comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (1985). It is a synthesis of knowledge about the grammatical structure of English, bringing together information from a range of descriptive approaches, and paying special attention to stylistic and regional varieties. Terminology generally falls within the European tradition of reference grammars.

英语语言学家（查尔斯）伦道夫·夸克及其同道创立的一种语法描写法，以本世纪70至80年代出版的一系列参考语法为代表，尤其是《英语语法大全》。这部语法是英语语法结构知识的综合，将多种描写法提供的信息综合在一起，注重风格和地域的变体，采用的术语多为欧洲传统的参考语法使用的术语。
