Publisher's Synopsis
This text presents, in a clear and systematic fashion, the basic units and principles underlying English sentence structure. It has been written for language professionals - teachers and prospective teachers, speech therapists, students of linguistics, among others. The book is unique in that it incorporates the most recent theoretical and applied linguistic research, but keeps technical terminology to a minimum, so that it remains highly accessible. The special features of the book - chapter summaries, practice exercises with answer key, clear diagrams, and glossary - make it an ideal text for both undergraduates and postgraduates.
