Download or read book Sense and System in English Sentences written by Rosemary Anne Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a practical handbook covering an area of grammar which up to now has not received systematic attention in textbooks for teachers and students of English: the structure of clauses and sentences and how these are built up and linked together. On the basis of an extensive analysis of students' writing, the author provides a classification of the most common structural mistakes and ambiguities which result from an inadequate grasp of how the elements of a sentence fit together. The source of each type of error is explained and extensive and varied exercise material on the problem areas is provided. The sentences used in the text are authetic examples taken from textbooks and newspapers or from the written work of students themselves.This handbook will be useful not only for non-native-speaking learners but also for native-speaking students and teachers of English, who will find it a helpful starting text on syntax at sentence level. Since answers to the exercises are provided, the book may be used both in the classroom and for self-study purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to English Sentence Structure puts the study of English sentences into the meaningful perspective provided by the broad essentials of functionalism. The book starts from the premise that the structure of language reflects the structure of events in everyday experience. By contrast, grammars that are more structural in nature often begin with gross facts about language structure, such as the observation that clauses can be divided into subjects and predicates. The book's premise reflects the fundamental Hallidayan principle that language simultaneously codes for three dimensions of structure: clause as representation, clause as exchange, and clause as message. This approach has the effect of situating the study of language in the student's familiar world of ideas, relationships, and discourses. The book blends insights from three prominent modern schools of grammatical thought (functionalism, structuralism, and generativism) using functionalism as the philosophical and organizational motif. The book focuses on the representational function of language, encouraging students to use their knowledge of the way the world works in order to understand how language works. The approach taken is hybrid: It assumes that form matters, and in this sense it is structural. It also assumes that forms follows function, and in this sense it is functional. As its subtitle suggests, the book is concerned with the argument structure of clauses, the boundary markers of clause combinations, and the syntactic and experiential resources that permit language users to supply the content of empty categories, which are the missing elements.

Download or read book Sense Making and Shared Meaning in Language and Literacy Education written by Sharon Murphy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides a framework for teaching children’s language and literacy and introduces research-based tactics for teachers to use in designing their literacy programs for children. Exploring how sense-making occurs in contemporary literacy practice, Murphy comprehensively covers major topics in literacy, including contemporary multimodal literacy practices, classroom discourse, literacy assessment, language and culture, and teacher knowledge. Organized around themes—talk, reading and composing representation—this book comprehensively invites educators to make sense of their own teaching practices while demonstrating the complexities of how children make sense of and represent meaning in today’s world. Grounded in research, this text features a wealth of real-world, multimodal examples, effective strategies and teaching tactics to apply to any classroom context. Ideal for literacy courses, preservice teachers, teacher educators and literacy scholars, this book illustrates how children become literate in contemporary society and how teachers can create the conditions for children to broaden and deepen their sense-making and expressive efforts.
Download or read book Sense Reference and Philosophy written by Jerrold J. Katz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sense, Reference, and Philosophy develops the far-reaching consequences for philosophy of adopting non-Fregean intensionalism, showing that long-standing problems in the philosophy of language, and indeed other areas, that appeared intractable can now be solved. Katz proceeds to examine some of those problems in this new light, including the problem of names, natural kind terms, the Liar Paradox, the distinction between logical and extra-logical vocabulary, and the Raven paradox. In each case, a non-Fregean intentionalism provides a philosophically more satisfying solution.

Download or read book Cultural Literacy written by E.D. Hirsch, Jr. and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1988-04-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must-read for parents and teachers, this major bestseller reveals how cultural literacy is the hidden key to effective education and presents 5000 facts that every literate American should know. In this forceful manifesto Professor E. D. Hirsch, Jr., argues that children in the United States are being deprived of the basic knowledge that would enable them to function in contemporary society. They lack cultural literacy: a grasp of background information that writers and speakers assume their audience already has. Even if a student has a basic competence in the English language, he or she has little chance of entering the American mainstream without knowing what a silicon chip is, or when the Civil War was fought. An important work that has engendered a nationwide debate on our educational standards, Cultural Literacy is a required reading for anyone concerned with our future as a literate nation.
Download or read book Practical Studies in Sentence Analysis written by Howard Leslie Lunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Studies in Sentence Analysis "Practical Studies in Sentence Analysis" is a revision and an enlargement of the author's former work, entitled "A Study of the English Sentence," which was published in 1895. In this work was printed for the first time a new method of written (visual) sentence analysis, designed as a substitute for the defective "diagram system" then in vogue. Since that time the writer has taught his scheme of combined oral and written analysis of the English sentence to many classes of pupils and teachers, who have voluntarily given personal testimony to its practical value. The memory of these words of commendation has furnished, for the most part, the author's main motive for organizing in a textbook the results of his past experiences in studying and teaching the functional elements of the English sentence. In no sense is this work to be regarded as a substitute for a textbook on English Grammar, but rather as a supplement to almost any grammar that would serve as a reference book for rules, principles, and definitions. It must be acknowledged that much of the teaching of English grammar has had to do with the recognition and classification of the Parts of Speech, and that no sufficient attention has been given to the classification of unit elements according to their special functions. The importance of sentence analysis has been noted by the New York Board of Regents in an "English Syllabus" in the following terms: "To help the pupil to develop the 'sentence sense' and to grasp the thought of difficult sentences, much of the time given to the study of grammar should be spent in the analysis of sentences just within the limit of his mental ability, such analysis consisting of rapid drill in syntax of words, phrases, and clauses."
