With this long awaited grammar book Krasimir Kabakčiev puts the results of international linguistic research at the service of language instruction and guides the learner through the labyrinth of linguistic subtleties of English and Bulgarian with care, wisdom and scientific integrity. This grammar book is not a quick grammar checker or an easy reference book for a student preparing for a placement test. It is not intended for classroom use either but it is hoped that its content will reach the classroom through the teacher. This grammar is innovative in that it draws on vast linguistic research and teaching experience of the author and that the selected grammar points are observed from the point of view of two languages, English and Bulgarian, thus breaking a long tradition of writing English grammars without any cross-linguistic perspective. The two languages are compared and contrasted in a way which facilitates a proper understanding and use of both. The grammar has 592 pages divided into the following six chapters: Word order, The article general principles, Peculiarities in the use of the article, Tenses, Signalling perfectivity and imperfectivity, and Voice. As the title of the grammar suggests, these are identified as the main stumbling blocks for Bulgarians learning English. The grammatical category underlying most of the discussions in this grammar book is aspect, and for a good reason. While a speaker of a Slavic language sets the temporal frame for their utterance by selecting the form of a verbal lexeme, a speaker of English builds this frame as the utterance develops and may even switch from one frame to another by bounding (as in The river flowed over its banks, cf. the non-bounded The river flowed) or unbounding
