English Sentence Analysis by Marjolijn Verspoor,Kim Sauter Pdf

English Sentence Analysis: An introductory course is designed as a 10-week course for students of English Language and Literature, Linguistics, or other language related fields. In 10 weeks the student will be proficient in English analysis at sentence, clause and phrase level and have a solid understanding of the traditional terms and concepts of English syntax. This introduction prepares for practical courses in grammar and writing skills and for theoretical courses in syntactic argumentation. The Course Book provides sentence structures in clear graphics; logically structured chapters with Introductions and Summaries; exercises with quotations and excerpts from English, American and Australian literature and pop songs. English Sentence Analysis: An introductory course has been classroom tested at various universities. The students seem to enjoy the ‘dreaded’ syntax course and pass rates have gone up significantly from 50 to 70%. Originally, this book was accompanied by a CD-rom with a Practice Program for Windows. The Practice Program on CD-rom is not updated anymore by its creators and as a result is no longer compatible with current Windows versions. For this reason, we have ceased to include it with the book.

Analysis of the English Sentence, Designed for Advanced Classes in English Grammar by A. S. Welch Pdf

Excerpt from Analysis of the English Sentence, Designed for Advanced Classes in English Grammar This treatise, designed for advanced classes in English Grammar, is given to the public with the hope that it may contribute somewhat to the philosophical study of our language. A systematic analysis of the English Sentence, should hold a prominent rank, merely as an important means of mental development. In this respect no branch of study has been regarded so dry and sterile. A few years ago the attainments of most teachers in grammar were, to the last degree, superficial, and their instructions systematically wrong. The student of Kirkham supposed that his order of parsing exhausted the subject, and the disciple of Murray knew far more of rules than relations.

Practical Studies in Sentence Analysis by Howard Leslie Lunt Pdf

Excerpt from Practical Studies in Sentence Analysis "Practical Studies in Sentence Analysis" is a revision and an enlargement of the author's former work, entitled "A Study of the English Sentence," which was published in 1895. In this work was printed for the first time a new method of written (visual) sentence analysis, designed as a substitute for the defective "diagram system" then in vogue. Since that time the writer has taught his scheme of combined oral and written analysis of the English sentence to many classes of pupils and teachers, who have voluntarily given personal testimony to its practical value. The memory of these words of commendation has furnished, for the most part, the author's main motive for organizing in a textbook the results of his past experiences in studying and teaching the functional elements of the English sentence. In no sense is this work to be regarded as a substitute for a textbook on English Grammar, but rather as a supplement to almost any grammar that would serve as a reference book for rules, principles, and definitions. It must be acknowledged that much of the teaching of English grammar has had to do with the recognition and classification of the Parts of Speech, and that no sufficient attention has been given to the classification of unit elements according to their special functions. The importance of sentence analysis has been noted by the New York Board of Regents in an "English Syllabus" in the following terms: "To help the pupil to develop the 'sentence sense' and to grasp the thought of difficult sentences, much of the time given to the study of grammar should be spent in the analysis of sentences just within the limit of his mental ability, such analysis consisting of rapid drill in syntax of words, phrases, and clauses."
