Mastering English: An Advanced Grammar for Non-native and Native Speakers (Topics in English Linguistics [TiEL] Book 22)

This grammar book offers a simple but comprehensive syntactic system which enables the student to analyze any sentence down to word level with a specification of both the form and the function of constituents at all levels. This analytic technique allows the student to approach the many grammatical problems in a consistent and revealing manner. The future of English linguistics as envisaged by the editors of Topics in English Linguistics lies in empirical studies, which integrate work in English linguistics into general and theoretical linguistics on the one hand, and comparative linguistics on the other. The TiEL series features volumes that present interesting new data and analyses, and above all fresh approaches that contribute to the overall aim of the series, which is to further outstanding research in English linguistics. For further publications in English linguistics see also our Dialects of English book series. To discuss your book idea or submit a proposal, please contact Natalie Fecher.

Both an advanced textbook and a reference work, Mastering English is different in a number of Carl Bache ; Niels Davidsen-nielsen. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [497]-501) And Indexes.
