| Description: |
This successful introductory textbook gives students a thorough grounding in the basics of English sentence structure, and acquaints them with the essentials of syntactic argumentation. Updated, revised and expanded, the fourth edition features a new chapter on 'Tense, Aspect and Mood', as well as additional exercises. |
| Synopsis: |
How can we go about describing the structure of sentences? What do we learn from analysing language in this way? This book examines the nuts and bolts of English syntax in an accessible way. Now in its fourth edition, English Syntax and Argumentation remains a student favourite. The book starts with a discussion of the basic concepts that are important in the study of syntax, and then moves on to more complex issues. Each chapter carefully explains technical terms and uses graphic illustrations alongside easy-to-follow examples and 'hands-on' exercises to illuminate key ideas. From words and phrases to constituency and argumentation - and now with a chapter on tense, aspect and mood - the book's broad coverage and clear organisation make it essential reading for all students of English and Linguistics who are encountering the study of syntax for the first time. |
