This grammar is a complete reference guide to the language of Indonesia as used by native speakers.

The book is organised to promote a thorough understanding of Indonesian grammar. It presents the complexities of Indonesian in a concise and readable form. An extensive index, cross-referencing and a generous use of headings will provide readers with immediate access to the information they require.

Key features:

- to aid clarity, all word groups and structures discussed are illustrated by natural examples of frequently used words and expressions

- each section can be read independently, enabling the reader to focus on a specific aspect of the language, if required

- all major structures of Indonesian, from words to complex sentences are described in detail

- common grammatical terms used are all clearly defined in an extensive glossary.

By providing a comprehensive description of Indonesian in a clear and non-technical manner, this grammar makes an ideal reference source for all users of the language, whether in colleges, universities or adult education classes of all types.
