About this product

Product Information

The Uses of Grammar takes an eclectic and accessible approach that integrates traditional, structural, and functional concepts with other ideas from contemporary grammar. In contrast with other grammar texts--which are typically organized from the "bottom up," beginning with parts of speechand progressing to phrases, clauses, and sentences--this book employs a unique structure based on the differentiation of form and function. This structure is framed around three questions: What are the forms in the grammar of American English? How do those forms function in that grammar? How arethey used in real-life speaking and writing to achieve specific purposes? For example, students will learn how a variety of forms (including nouns, pronouns, verbals, and clauses) can all function as nominals.The Uses of Grammar incorporates examples and exercises that use "living language" to illustrate the practical applications of grammar. These sentences and passages are drawn from a wide variety of sources--including newspapers, magazines, books, and the writings of undergraduate students--andfrom such writers and speakers as Ronald Reagan, Shirley Chisholm, Groucho Marx, Mark Twain, and Jane Addams. Extensively class-tested and refined to be student- and instructor-friendly, the text also features "Challenger" and "For Discussion" boxed sections that enhance students' understanding ofthe principles covered in the text and encourage classroom discussion. In addition, most chapters end with "Passages for Analysis" sections that allow students to analyze the uses of forms and functions in broader contexts than those provided by the exercises. An Instructor's Manual that includesanswers to exercises in the text, supplemental exercises and answers, teaching tips, an alternate table of contents, and a transition guide is available to adopters.
