Description

This advanced grammar text encourages students to think critically about grammar and exposes them to a variety of linguistic theories as it prepares them to become K-12 English teachers.

 

Designed to support and assist students in learning about the structure of the English language, this textbook provides students with sound pedagogical grammar instruction while drawing upon traditional, structural, and transformational grammatical theory. Unlike similar texts, Analyzing English Grammar speaks directly to students by providing clear explanations. It then challenges them to be conscious of their own learning processes by incorporating a variety of strategies that extend beyond memorization and into critical thinking and analysis.


Features

  • Shows students how to move from clear, prototypical cases toward critical analysis of the more complex and borderline ambiguous grammar examples that characterize actual language.
  • Helps students immediately apply grammatical concepts to practical writing problems with “What's the Usage” sections, found throughout the text.
  • Chapter goals at the beginning of each chapter help students focus on essential concepts. Review exercises at the end of each chapter focus on these goals.
  • Teaches the use of phrase marker tree diagrams (adapted from transformational grammar) and traditional Reed-Kellogg diagrams as alternative tools for analyzing sentence structure graphically.
  • An extensive Instructor's Manual includes an exercise answer key, teaching suggestions, reproducible quizzes, teaching aids, and suggested study plans.
  • Extensive discussion of language acquisition, particularly second language acquisition, addresses this increasingly important concern for secondary school teachers in both urban and rural areas.
  • Includes examples of American regional and social dialects with references to Hispanic and Vietnamese influences to show how English is adapted in various groups.


New To This Edition

  • Helps students apply grammatical theory with expanded exercises that are contextualized. They will review the grammatical structures within prose paragraphs or as a series of numbered questions forming a related paragraph. The exercises emphasize the development of skills of independent analysis and inductive reasoning while asking students to recognize and manipulate grammatical constructions within extended discourse. 
  • Reminds students that English exists within a social context while teaching them the grammatical rules of Standard American English. Social considerations have made Standard English the dialect taught in our schools, but all varieties of the language serve useful interactive functions. There are many dialects of English in the United States and throughout the world, and as English has become a global language, new varieties have evolved for business transactions, informational exchange, and diplomatic interaction.
  • Linguistic jargon is kept to a minimum throughout the text while providing a core set of terms used to describe grammar.
  • The glossary is expanded in the new edition to include all of the Key Terms, giving students a better resource for rapidly looking up grammatical terms.
  • We have placed more emphasis on the strengths and usefulness of the traditional grammatical rules and terms with which our students are already familiar in this Edition.
