Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Working Grammar of the English Language: Designed to Give in Simple Statement the Principles and Methods of Correct English Speech and Writing Grammar is the treatment of words in their relations as used for the expression of thought. There is no grammar of a mere list of words as given, for instance, in a dictionary. Grammar does not con sider words except as used in connection with other words to express some meaning beyond that of the individual words. Words as used for the expression of thought are divided into classes called Parts of Speech. A combination of words expressing a complete thought, as, Man needs food, is called a Sentence. Hence Grammar may appropriately be taught and studied under two divisions, viz. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

(3) Give all tenses in the potential mode of the verbs listed in Exercise 24, p. 136. (4) Explain the three uses of do as an auxiliary. With what modes and tenses is it used? FULL CONJUGATIONS IN THE ACTIVE VOICE With the auxiliaries already given added to the forms made by inflection (pp. 130-135), we can build the entire conjugation of the active voice of any verb in the ordinary form, as follows: CONJUGATION OF THE REGULAR VERB EXERCISE 26 Note.--Do as an auxiliary is not used with any form of the verb be except the imperative; as, Do be quiet. TENSES Present. Pres. Perfect. Past. Past Perfect. Future. (declarative) (purposive) Fut. Perfect. (declarative) (purposive) ACTIVE VOICE Indicative Mode I love, he loves, we, you, they love. I have, he has, we, you, they have loved. I, he, we, you, they loved. I, he, we, you, they had loved. I shall, he will, we shall, you, they will love. I will, he shall, we will, you, they shall love. I shall, he will, we shall, you, they will have loved. I will, he shall, we will, you, they shall have loved. The vertical parallels II are introduced in a few instances, as above, to separate any succeeding auxiliaries from the first auxiliary; all words following the vertical parallels are to be understood after each preceding auxiliary. Thus, in the Future Perfect Declarative, the words "have loved" are to be understood after each preceding auxiliary, the full forms being: I shall have Loved, he will have Loved, we shall have Loved, you will have Loved, they will have Loved. The same rule holds in all similar cases. Tenses Subjunctive Mode Present. (If) I, he, we, you, they love. Pres. Perfect. (If) I, he, we, you, they have loved. Potential Mode Present. I, he, we, you, they may love....

It goes a step further than most books on grammar by providing an overview of the field, with a discussion of historical and current debates about grammar, and how we define, discuss, and approach it. Presents a novel, inquiry-based approach to understanding speakers' unconscious knowledge of English grammar Makes lucid connections, when relevant, with current linguistic theory Integrates language change and variation into the study of grammar Examines historical sources of socially evaluative perceptions of grammar, as 'good' or 'bad', and notions of language authority Provides syntactic explanations for many modern punctuation rules Explores some of the current controversies about grammar teaching in school and the role of Standard English in testing and assessment

Download or read book An Introduction to the Grammar of Old English written by Michael Joseph Cummings and published by Equinox Publishing (UK). This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies the techniques of systemic functional grammar to the description of the Old English historical dialect, 650-1150 CE. Systemic functional grammar is an approach to the description of language which distinguishes three separate functions in communication: language as representation, language as attitude, and language as the construction of text. Most applications of systemic functional theory have concentrated on modern English. This book is the first comprehensive description of the Old English dialect on systemic functional principles. The book begins with an outline of systemic functional grammatical theory. It then describes the Old English clause with a separate grammar for each of the three general functions it serves, the representational, the attitudinal, and the text-formative. Other areas covered include structures and functions within nominal, verbal and adverbial groups; relationships among clauses; embedding; and cohesion. The book is thus designed to suit the needs of systemic functional grammarians who are interested in the historical development of the English language. It is also designed for students of Old English who are looking for ways of explaining the grammatical system of Old English on terms other than those of traditional grammar.

Download or read book A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language written by Randolph Quirk and published by London ; New York : Longman. This book was released on 1985 with total page 1800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time when we started collaborating as a team in the 1960s, we envisaged not a grammar but a series of grammars. In 1972, there appeared the first volume in this series, A Grammar of Contemporary English (GCE). This was followed soon afterwards by two shorter works, A Communicative Grammar of English (CGE) and A University Grammar of English (UGE), published in the United States with the title A Concise Grammar of Contemporary English. With A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language, we attempt something much more ambitious: a culmination of our joint work, which results in a grammar that is considerably larger and richer than GCE and hence superordinate to it. Yet, as with our other volumes since GCE, it is also a grammar that incorporates our own further research on grammatical structure as well as the research of scholars worldwide who have contributed to the description of English and to developments in linguistic theory. - Preface.
Download or read book The Grammar of Irish English written by Markku Filppula and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irish English, also termed 'Anglo-Irish' or 'Hiberno-English', as in this book, is not usually perceived as having a grammatical system of its own. Markku Filppula here challenges this misconception and offers a descriptive and contact-linguistic account of the grammar of Hiberno-English. Drawing on a wide range of authentic materials documenting Hiberno-English dialects past and present Filppula examines: * the most distinctive grammatical features of these dialects * relationships with earlier and other regional varieties of English * the continuing influence of the Irish language on Hiberno-English * similarities between Hiberno-English and other Celtic-influenced varieties of English spoken in Scotland and Wales The Grammar of Irish English is a comprehensive empirical study which will be an essential reference for scholars of Hiberno-English and of value to all those working in the field of Germanic linguistics.
