Description:

Provides readers with a detailed description and explanation of key areas of English Language study. This title presupposes a basic working knowledge of the topic and explore aspects of the linguistics of English for an intermediate or advanced student readership.

Synopsis:

Aimed at advanced students, this book discusses a number of approaches to charting the major developments in the syntax of English. It does not assume any knowledge of Old or Middle English or of formal syntax, although students should be familiar with traditional syntactic concepts such as verbs and nouns, subjects and objects, and linguistic concepts such as morphology and case. Bettelou Los draws on explanations from both formal and functional approaches to explore how syntactic changes are the product of the interaction of many internal and external factors.
