Raktažodžiai:
Berry contributes to recent thinking that English grammar is not so much the application of abstract patterns to words and sentences, but is built up from particular words and phrases. He examines the grammar of 117 English words, which he selected for their frequency, how representative they are, and being used grammatically in more than one way. The material is for undergraduate students of English as an academic study and trainee teachers. It is not for learners of English to brush up their grammar, he warns, because the treatment is technical and academic rather than practical and simple.

From Words to Grammar is a different introduction to grammar for students. Taking a word-based approach to grammar, this innovative book introduces the subject through the analysis of over a hundred of the most commonly used English words.

Each unit focuses on a different word class, using an analysis of specific words which includes:

  • an introduction to the grammar of each word;

  • examples of real world usage featuring that word;

  • exercises with answers.

This unique approach not only introduces students to grammar but also provides them with an understanding of how grammar works in everyday English. Written by an experienced teacher and author,From Words to Grammar is ideal for all students of English Language.

Recenzijos

"The major achievement of From Words to Grammar is that it takes a novel, deductive approach to grammar. It invites students to be linguistic detectives by studying different sentences containing a particular word, and then working out its meaning and grammatical characteristics the result is a more sensitive and comprehensive understanding of how English grammar works. This book would be ideal for undergraduate students of English language and linguistics." Ludwig Tan, SIM University, Singapore

"Noun or adjective? Phrasal or prepositional verb? Determiner or pronoun?' Using specific words attested in real life examples, the author introduces the reader to grammatical concepts and to important features of English grammar. The innovative, practical approach, the authenticity of the examples and the non-technical language are only some of the books assets that will make it a valuable guide to learners at undergraduate and postgraduate level and to anyone who is interested in how English grammar works." Marina Kolokonte, University of Kent, UK
