Pattern in English - A Fresh Approach to Grammar

Informationen zum Autor Multivolume collection by leading authors in the field Zusammenfassung This book, first published in 1950, is a collection of what the author felt to be the minimum of English grammar relevant to efficient communication in language. The scope of this title was determined by collecting from children’s writings examples of common faults and weaknesses, and it is through these texts that certain concepts emerged as fundamental, including predication, word-order, proximity, equivalents, variety and repetition. Pattern in English will be of interest to students of English language. Inhaltsverzeichnis Foreword; Acknowledgements; Part 1: Simple Sentences ; 1. Sentence and Predication 2.
