Download or read book A New Approach to English Grammar on Semantic Principles written by Robert M. W. Dixon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linguists often portray grammar as a kind of self-sufficient algebra. R. M. W. Dixon offers a new approach, starting from the premiss that a speaker codes a 'meaning' into grammatical forms in order to communicate them to a hearer, who recovers the 'meaning'. He investigates theinterrelation of grammar and meaning, and uncovers a rationale for the varying grammatical properties of different words-why, for instance, we can say I wish to go and I wish that he would go, and then I want to go but not I want that he should go.In the first part of the book there is a review of some of the main points of English syntax, followed by a discussion of English verbs in terms of 'semantic types'. About thirty of these types are examined, including verbs of Motion, of Giving, of Thinking, of Speaking, of Liking, and of Typing.In the last part of the book the author looks in detail at five grammatical topics: complement clauses, which can fill subject or object slot in a main clause; the question of transitivity and causatives; passives of all kinds; promotion of a non-subject to subject slot, as in Dictionaries sellwellR; and the relation between constructions such as They walked and They had a walk, She punched him and She gave him a punchR, and He looked and He took a look.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Improved Grammar of the English Language If is called also a conjunction. His is not true it is always a verb, being only a contracted form of give. The fact is the same with though; it is a verb, but defective. To the syntax, I have added several new rules and illustrations; the British Grammars, in this particular, being very defective. In deed, so defective and erroneous are the British Grammars, and the compilations in the United States, formed on their principles, that without some further helps, the construction of many established and legitimate phrases and sentences in our language, cannot be explained.

Download or read book The Grammar of English Grammars Illustrated written by Goold Brown and published by Full Moon Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 3570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goold Brown (7 March 1791 – 31 March 1857) was an American grammarian. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, the third child of Smith Brown and Lydia Gould. His family could be traced to some of the earliest Quakers in New England. Author Preface : After about fifteen years devoted chiefly to grammatical studies and exercises, during most of which time I had been alternately instructing youth in four different languages, thinking it practicable to effect some improvement upon the manuals which explain our own, I prepared and published, for the use of schools, a duodecimo volume of about three hundred pages; which, upon the presumption that its principles were conformable to the best usage, and well established thereby, I entitled, "The Institutes of English Grammar." Of this work, which, it is believed, has been gradually gaining in reputation and demand ever since its first publication, there is no occasion to say more here, than that it was the result of diligent study, and that it is, essentially, the nucleus, or the groundwork, of the present volume.
Download or read book Principles of English Grammar written by Elijah A. Burns and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of English Grammar After long experience in teaching the most approved systems of English Grammar, the author ventures to offer to the Public a work of his own, which he believes will greatly abridge the labor of students, in acquiring a correct and practical knowledge of the principles of the English Language. A thorough acquaintance with our own language, is an acquisition which transcends every other literary accomplishment. No person will be likely to deny this, when he remembers that the greater part of whatever knowledge he possesses, be it much or little, has been derived through the medium of his vernacular tongue. The English Language is preeminently the Language of Liberty, Progress and Civilization. Many of the ancient and modern languages have contributed their richest gems to improve and embellish it; and it is admitted by the most erudite critics, that it affords a greater variety of appropriate words for expressing lofty and sublime thought, than any other language spoken by man. At present, those who use the English Language, surpass all the rest of mankind in morality, refinement, and useful invention; and perhaps, the time is not very far distant, when they will control the Literature and Politics of the World.
