Description and Table of Contents
Description
*Seen as a classic textbook, ideal for students looking for a traditional, non-controversial, grounding in the subject. *Covers both theory and practice behind syntactic analysis, providing students with all the skills and knowledge they need to do their own analysis. Introductory syntax/sentence structure courses are generally compulsory for English Language undergraduates so there is plenty of demand for a basic practical guide such as this one. *Linked to a eresources site which features extra exercises making the book a flexible resource that can be used as part of self-study as well as on a course.
