Add Tag | Summary: | This book has a dual purpose, being suitable either for independent use as a survey of the main syntactic structures in contemporary English or as an introduction to the descriptive framework used in more comprehensive grammars such as Quirk et al., A Grammar of Contemporary English. Both authors have researched under Professor Quirk, and many of the examples they cite are taken from the Survey of English Usage conducted under his guidance at University College London. The book has four aims: - to introduce students to the categories and principal structures of English syntax - to teach them how to recognise and analyze these categories and their structures. - to provide them with a descriptive method and terminology which are as explicit and consistent as possible. - to develop their skill in syntactic argumentation. |
