| Description: |
Aims to provide a wide-ranging theoretical and practical survey of verb use in English. It covers all the topics crucial to the advanced student of English and linguistics and uses data taken from a wide range of both spoken and written discourse and texts to reflect actual use of language. |
| Synopsis: |
Aims to provide a broad view of the subject difficult to obtain exclusively from academic journals and monographs. Coverage of this series will extend to all main aspects of linguistic study, and will include work on major language families, on English and other important languages. Takes a fresh approach to the key area in linguistics of 'Verb aspect in English'- the way in which verbs deal with time. It begins by outlining the limitations of the more traditional approaches to the subject before moving on to propose an alternative analysis using the categories of verbs in written and spoken English. Key Features - Provides a wide-ranging theoretical and practical survey of verb use in English. Covers all the topics crucial to the advanced student of English and linguistics. Data used has been taken from a wide range of both spoken and written discourse and texts to reflect people's actual use of language. Explains why we choose one member of a difficult lexical pair as opposed to the other (e.g. 'do/make', 'look/see'). It is aimed at advanced students in linguistics, semioticians, language teachers and senior ELT teachers. |
