an introduction to english syntax
review from previous edition a slim and useful student textbook for english syntax . although most of the examples are from english the book introduces general concepts which provide the necessary tools for a basic syntactic analysis of any language . the book concentrates on topics that will remain useful to the student who does not go on to study linguistics but say literature or efl teaching . the years work in english studiesin this revised and fully updated new edition of his popular textbook jim miller discusses the central concepts of syntax which are applied in a wide range of university courses in business communication in teaching and in speech therapy . the book deals with concepts which are central to traditional grammar but have been greatly refined over the past forty years parts of speech and how to recognise them constructions and their interrelationships subordinate clauses and how to recognise the different types subjects and objects agents and patients and other roles
