This review is from: Ukrainian: A Comprehensive Grammar (Comprehensive Grammars) (Paperback)

I was quite pleased to get this. The Routledge Grammars tend to be very good and this one was no excerption.
After a brief but good introduction on the history of the language and its relation to other Slavic languages.
There was about 25 pages describing the Ukrainian phonological system, and then the remainder treated each part of speech in detail. I am a linguist-morphologist by profession, and what was in this book was exactly what I needed for work which was doing.. The authors are to be congratulated. It's good book.
