Bryan Garner (né le 17 novembre 1958) est un avocat, grammairien et lexicographe américain. Il écrit également sur la jurisprudence (et occasionnellement sur le golf). Il est l'auteur de plus de 25 livres, dont les plus connus sont Garner's Modern English Usage (4e éd. 2016) et Reading Law: The Interpretation of Legal Texts (2012—co-écrit avec le juge Antonin Scalia), ainsi que quatre versions intégrales éditions du Black's Law Dictionary. Il est professeur émérite de recherche en droit à la Southern Methodist University. Il enseigne également de temps à autre à la faculté de droit de l'Université du Texas, à la faculté de droit Texas A&M et à la faculté de droit Texas Tech. En 2009, il a été nommé Auteur de rédaction juridique et d'ouvrages de référence de la décennie lors d'une cérémonie de remise des prix Burton à la Bibliothèque du Congrès. Il a reçu de nombreux autres prix, dont le Benjamin Franklin Book Award, le Scribes Book Award, le Bernie Siegan Award et un Lifetime Achievement Award du Center for Plain Language. Son travail a joué un rôle central dans notre compréhension du jugement moderne, du plaidoyer, de la grammaire, de l'usage de l'anglais, de la lexicographie juridique et du système de jurisprudence de la common law. Ses livres sont fréquemment cités par les tribunaux américains de tous niveaux, y compris la Cour suprême des États-Unis.

Description du livre

Garner's Modern American Usage pdf par Bryan Garner

The first edition of Garner's Modern American Usage established Bryan Garner as ''an American equivalent of Fowler'' (Library Journal). With more than 23,500 copies sold, this witty, accessible, and engaging book has become the new classic reference work praised by professional copyeditors as well as the general public looking for clear advice on how to write more effectively. In 1999, Choice magazine named it an Outstanding Academic Book and the American Library Association dubbed it an Outstanding Reference Source. With thousands of succinct entries, longer essays on key issues and problematic areas, and up-to-the-minute judgments on everything from trendy words to the debate over personal pronouns, GMAU is approachable yet authoritative. Since the book first appeared in 1998, Bryan Garner has diligently continued tracking how we use our language. The second edition includes hundreds of new entries ranging from Dubya to weaponize (coined in 1984 but used extensively since 9/11) to foot-and-mouth, plethora (a ''highfalutin equivalent of too many''), Slang, Standard English, and Dialects. It also updates hundreds of existing entries. Meanwhile, Garner has written a major essay on the great grammar debate between descriptivists and prescriptivists. Painstakingly researched with copious citations from books and newspapers and newsmagazines, this new edition furthers Garner's mission to help everyone become a better writer, and to enjoy it in the process.
