The Analysis of the English Sentence With Supplement by Marion Nelson Beeman Pdf
Excerpt from The Analysis of the English Sentence With Supplement It is intended that this little book shall tell its own story. It is denied that Grammar should be a discussion of only the forms of language. To ignore meanings and relations of meanings as expressed by language forms is to rob this most useful branch of all but the most absolutely voluntary interest. It is argued by many prominent educators, that to carry grammar studies into the realm of thought is to encroach upon the province of logic. But is that a valid argument against considering thought in grammar studies? The unit of language study is the sentence. The purpose of logic is to discuss the reasoning process, to secure correct reasoning, - and the unit of reasoning is the syllogism. Grammar studies the notion and the judgment, and ends in the expression of the judgment, that is, the sentence. Logic studies the notion and the judgment that it may prepare for the clear grasp of the reasoning process, which process finds its expression in the syllogism.
