Description
This elementary introduction to syntactic analysis is designed for students with no prior knowledge of the subject. It provides a valuable foundation course for those embarking on a longer term study of syntax, as well as practical tools for trainee teachers, speech therapists and students of literacy style.
The book begins by exploring the use of generalizations in describing sentence structure and the basis for word categories. It then builds up to increasingly complex constructions, with plenty of opportunities for practical exercises to help you understand the analysis behind each concept.
The aim of this book is not to explore complex issues of argumentation, but rather to provide a hands-on approach to syntactic analysis. By following this book, you'll gain a solid understanding of sentence structure and be able to apply it in your own practice.
