Book Overview
Bringing together insights from both traditional and contemporary approaches to grammar, this unique new book offers a lucid and practical approach to grammatical analysis, actively involving the reader in every step of the process. Beginning with what readers, as native speakers of English, already know about grammar, the book gradually introduces more involved methods of analysis to establish a thorough grammatical system. Using "real world" examples from recent books, magazines, and newspapers to explain what the parts of a sentence are, how they fit together, and how language works as a whole, Doing Grammar also provides detailed discussions of identifying verb phrases, expanding verb phrases and noun phrases, rearranging and compounding, constructing relative clauses, reducing relative clauses to phrases, making noun clauses, gerunds, and infinitives, and adding modifiers to sentences. Offering a comprehensive overview to English grammar, this book makes grammatical analysis analysis clear, understandable, useful, and interesting. It will be an invaluable guide for students and for anyone who wants to know how language works.
