Download or read book An Anatomy of Grammar written by Laura Wheeler and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook begins with the elemental building blocks of a clause and, through thirteen chapters, works toward a thorough understanding of the parts that make up English clauses and how clauses can be combined into quite complicated sentences. It aims to increase students' grasp not only of the language but also of how and why the English language works as it does. This book is not an ESL textbook. That is, it does not seek to teach non-native speakers a language they have not already confronted. Nor is it focused exclusively on fixing common errors in grammar. It is not organized around the fix-it topics that subdivide most handbooks or around the parts of speech that many students remember from elementary school instruction. Rather, it is designed to develop and build on the curiosity of college-level English speakers who desire a more thorough and systematic knowledge of the language they use already. Along the way, the book discusses issues of register, correctness, and style--as these discussions arise naturally from the topics studied. Special sections alert students to common errors and questions of usage, as well as to rhetorical issues related to writing and literature. A student who desires an introductory but thorough knowledge of English grammar will by the end of this book have a solid sense of how sentences--and their myriad and complicated parts--are assembled. Ideally, because of the gradual introduction of more overwhelming concepts, this knowledge will have been achieved without the paralyzing anxiety that often accompanies encounters with grammatical concepts. The book presents important concepts, challenges students to work through embedded exercises (the answers to which are included at the back of the book), and gradually builds toward more complex, nuanced discussions of sentence structure and style.

Download or read book The Grammar of Discourse written by Robert E. Longacre and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In that The Anatomy of Speech Notions (1976) was the precursor to The Grammar of Discourse (1983), this revision embodies a third "edition" of some of the material that is found here. The original intent of the 1976 volume was to construct a hierarchical arrangement of notional categories, which find surface realization in the grammatical constructions of the various languages of the world. The idea was to marshal the categories that every analyst-regardless of theoretical bent-had to take account of as cognitive entities. The volume began with a couple of chapters on what was then popularly known as "case grammar," then expanded upward and downward to include other notional categories on other levels. Chapters on dis course, monologue, and dialogue were buried in the center of the volume. In the 1983 volume, the chapters on monologue and dialogue discourse were moved to the fore of the book and the chapters on case grammar were made less prominent; the volume was then renamed The Grammar of Discourse. The current revision features more clearly than its predecessors the intersection of discourse and pragmatic concerns with grammatical structures on various levels. It retains and expands much of the former material but includes new material reflecting current advances in such topics as salience clines for discourse, rhetorical relations, paragraph structures, transitivity, ergativity, agency hierarchy, and word order typologies.

Download or read book Process Grammar The Basis of Morphology written by Michael Leyton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leyton's Process Grammar has been applied by scientists and engineers in many disciplines including medical diagnosis, geology, computer-aided design, meteorology, biological anatomy, neuroscience, chemical engineering, etc. This book demonstrates the following: The Process Grammar invents several entirely new concepts in biological morphology and manufacturing design, and shows that these concepts are fundamentally important. The Process Grammar has process-inference rules that give, to morphological transitions, powerful new causal explanations. Remarkably, the book gives a profound unification of biological morphology and vehicle design. The book invents over 30 new CAD operations that realize fundamentally important functions of a product. A crucial fact is that the Process Grammar is an example of the laws in Leyton's Generative Theory of Shape which give the ability to recover the design intents for which the shape features of a CAD model were created. The book demonstrates that the Process Grammar recovers important design intents in biological morphology and manufacturing design. In large-scale manufacturing systems, the recovery of design intents is important for solving the interoperability problem and product lifecycle management. This book is one of a series of books in Springer that elaborates Leyton's Generative Theory of Shape.
