A Great Textbook on Beginning Englsh Syntax,
By Mssr. Nomdeplume (Monster Island, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: English Syntax - 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I got this because Mark Lester recommended it in his "Grammar and Usage in the Classroom." It was written to be an introductory classroom text on English syntax, which makes it great for someone like me without prior linguistics experience. And like Grammar and Usage, you'll learn lots of those usage tests to determine what a particular phrase is doing in a sentence, both sharpening your analytical skills and helping you to explain it to curious students. The chapter contents proceed with a deductive logic that is almost mathematical, analyzing every little phrase embedded in a larger phrase, and discovering new rules as you go along. This book has definitely stretched my head.
