The Uses of Grammar,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Uses of Grammar takes an eclectic and accessible approach that integrates traditional, structural, and functional concepts with other ideas from contemporary grammar. In contrast with other grammar textswhich are typically organized from the 'bottom up,' beginning with parts of speech and progressing to phrases, clauses, and sentencesthis book employs a unique structure based on the differentiation of form and function. This structure is framed around three questions: What are the forms in the grammar of American English? How do those forms function in that grammar? How are they used in reallife speaking and writing to achieve specific purposes? For example, students will learn how a variety of forms (including nouns, pronouns, verbals, and clauses) can all function as nominals.The Uses of Grammar incorporates examples and exercises that use 'living language' to illustrate the practical applications of grammar. These sentences and passages are drawn from a wide variety of sourcesincluding newspapers, magazines, books, and the writings of undergraduate studentsand from such writers and speakers as Ronald Reagan, Shirley Chisholm, Groucho Marx, Mark Twain, and Jane Addams. Extensively classtested and refined to be student and instructorfriendly, the text also features 'Challenger' and 'For Discussion' boxed sections that enhance students' understanding of the principles covered in the text and encourage classroom discussion. In addition, most chapters end with 'Passages for Analysis' sections that allow students to analyze the uses of forms and functions in broader contexts than those provided by the exercises. An Instructor's Manual that includes answers to exercises in the text, supplemental exercises and answers, teaching tips, an alternate table of contents, and a transition guide is available to adopters.
