Thinking English Grammar. To Honour Xavier Dekeyser, Professor Emeritus contains papers by 34 colleagues of professor Dekeyser on subjects that have interested him throughout his career. His research has mainly been devoted to the history of English, and it is only natural that the first and longest section should consist of 11 papers on variation in English, both diachronic and synchronic. The second, barely shorter with its 9 papers, is devoted to the description of various aspects of modern English; some of these papers shade off into theoretical linguistics. Professor Dekeyser having obtained his Ph.D. on grammaticography, there is a third section on "Grammar from the Past", with 5 papers. The final section, 9 papers on "Language Teaching and Contrast", honours the eminent teacher of literally thousands of budding anglicists.

English Grammar by Norman Foerster,John Steadman Pdf
"Sentences and Thinking," originally published in 1919, is a practice book in correct sentence making, designed for American college students and for everyone interested in advanced studies of English. It is quite suitable for vigorous language review work and for raising awareness and improving English conversational and written skills. The authors have sought absolute essentials. Moreover, their exceedingly sensible approach asks readers to think out the reasons that lie behind grammatical and rhetorical rules. The heart of the book is a study of the principles of subordination, parallelism, emphasis, economy-all of which demand the prerequisite of clear thinking. "Sentences and Thinking" is an indispensable tool for English for academic purposes. Part of the project "Immortal Grammar Series" of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1919-not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Pen House Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. About the Authors: "Norman Foerster" was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1887. Before "Sentences and Thinking," he wrote "Writing and thinking: A Handbook of Composition and Revision," and "A Handbook of Revision: Part II of Writing and Thinking," both with John Marcellus Steadman, Jr. Foerster was an educator and critic whose main interest was American higher education. He earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard University, a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin, followed by doctoral degrees from the University of the South, in Tennessee; Grinnell College, in Iowa; and the University of North Carolina. He taught English at the University of Wisconsin, the University of North Carolina, the University of Iowa, and at Duke University. One of his most influential books is "Nature in American History" (1923). Foerster was also known as an advocate and a spokesman for the New Humanism movement, of literary and social criticism, that had its first expressions in the late nineteenth century; He was central in the publication of "Humanism and America": the intellectual manifesto of the New Humanists. He died in Palo Alto, California. "John Marcellus Steadman, Jr." was born in Greenwood, South Carolina, in 1889. He graduated from Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC, where he also obtained a master's degree, and earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1916.
