Book Synopsis An Introduction to English Sentence Structure by : Jon Jonz
Download or read book An Introduction to English Sentence Structure written by Jon Jonz and published by Equinox. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to English Sentence Structure puts the study of English sentences into the meaningful perspective provided by the broad essentials of functionalism. The book starts from the premise that the structure of language reflects the structure of events in everyday experience. By contrast, grammars that are more structural in nature often begin with gross facts about language structure, such as the observation that clauses can be divided into subjects and predicates. The book's premise reflects the fundamental Hallidayan principle that language simultaneously codes for three dimensions of structure: clause as representation, clause as exchange, and clause as message. This approach has the effect of situating the study of language in the student's familiar world of ideas, relationships, and discourses. The book blends insights from three prominent modern schools of grammatical thought (functionalism, structuralism, and generativism) using functionalism as the philosophical and organizational motif. The book focuses on the representational function of language, encouraging students to use their knowledge of the way the world works in order to understand how language works. The approach taken is hybrid: It assumes that form matters, and in this sense it is structural. It also assumes that forms follows function, and in this sense it is functional. As its subtitle suggests, the book is concerned with the argument structure of clauses, the boundary markers of clause combinations, and the syntactic and experiential resources that permit language users to supply the content of empty categories, which are the missing elements.

Book Synopsis The Structure of English Clauses by : David J. Young
Download or read book The Structure of English Clauses written by David J. Young and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1980, this book provides a clear and practical introduction to a wide variety of English structures. It concentrates on a large and crucial area of English grammar, which covers units of higher rank than words, and structures that have verbs rather than nouns as their nuclear elements. Throughout the book, David Young focuses on the English language as it is actually spoken. At every point his discussion of syntax is closely integrated with meaning, and he pays particular attention to the ways in which speakers of English signal their intensions. The author points out how verbal patterning is meaningful, and outlines the criteria used by grammarians to distinguish one structure from another. The result is an analytical framework that can be applied to any real-life text in order to understand its structure. This is a book that will encourage a realistic, exploratory and investigative attitude towards the English language.
Book Synopsis The Structure of English Words by : Clarence Sloat
Download or read book The Structure of English Words written by Clarence Sloat and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large vocabulary is always an asset. Students, teachers, politicians, salesmen, lawyers-in fact all of us-are judged by our ability to use words. It is not surprising, therefore, that many books have been written on the subject of vocabulary enrichment. Most rely heavily on memorization. Fortunately, there is amore efficient and practical way to enlarge your vocabulary. Many words are composed of meaningful elements that occur again and again in English. It, therefore, makes sense to learn word elements rather than whole words whenever possible. This method requires much less effort than it would take to memorize all the words or even the various forms of word elements. The Structure of English Words: is based on modern linguistic principles. These methods allow the reader to analyze words they have never seen before and to understand unusual uses of familiar words. is divided into two main sections-the text - which discusses the rules for relating the different forms or word elements, and the glossary, which covers the major Latin and Greek word roots and affixes that occur in English. features a glossary of roots in reverse order so that the reader can find a root by looking up its meaning. includes an instructors manual with answer keys, additional worksheets, explanations, charts and a note to instructors.

Book Synopsis Semantic Structure in English by : Jim Feist
Download or read book Semantic Structure in English written by Jim Feist and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Syntax puts our meaning (“semantics”) into sentences, and phonology puts the sentences into the sounds that we hear and there must, surely, be a structure in the meaning that is expressed in the syntax and phonology. Some writers use the phrase “semantic structure”, but are referring to conceptual structure; since we can express our conceptual thought in many different linguistic ways, we cannot equate conceptual and semantic structures. The research reported in this book shows semantic structure to be in part hierarchic, fitting the syntax in which it is expressed, and partly a network, fitting the nature of the mind, from which it springs. It is complex enough to provide for the emotive and imaginative dimensions of language, and for shifts of standard meanings in context, and the “rules” that control them. Showing the full structure of English semantics requires attention to many currently topical issues, and since the underlying theory is fresh, there are fresh implications for them. The most important of those issues is information structure, which is given full treatment, showing its overall structure, and its relation to semantics and the whole grammar of English.
