Adventures in English Syntax
For anyone who wants to become a more effective writer, a more perceptive reader, and a more precise thinker, an understanding of English sentence structure is indispensable. Using clear and engaging examples from English, it introduces the basic concepts of syntactic structure to readers with no background in linguistics. This book shows you how to begin.
It then shows how that understanding can be applied to writing, helping us to avoid some of the common hallmarks of 'bad writing', such as ambiguity, redundancy, and vagueness. Starting with simple, familiar phrases, and progressing to more complex sentences, it builds on what we already intuitively know, to provide a step-by-step account of why we understand these examples as we do. A unique and valuable resource, this book will enrich your understanding of English in ways that will make you a more effective user of the language.
