Das Lehrbuch ist eine anschaulich verfasste Einführung in die Syntax des Englischen mit vollständigen Analysen, Merksätzen, Schaubildern und einem umfangreichen Übungskapitel. Studierenden wird sowohl ein Einstieg in die Materie geboten, als auch eine Basis zur Prüfungsvorbereitung. Dozierende können dieses Lehrbuch als Grundlage für Syntaxkurse aller Schwierigkeitsgrade verwenden.
This collection of pivotal issues about syntactic analysis bridges the gap between two extremes: Quirk et al.’s classic, yet voluminous standard grammar The Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (CGEL, 1985) and slim booklets with sample solutions. Written for students and teachers alike, this textbook introduces basic concepts, deepens preexisting knowledge, prepares students for various exam contexts and provides hands-on teaching material. Each chapter provides theoretical explanations, which are immediately illustrated by numerous complete sample analyses of sentences taken both from the CGEL as well as from more recent British and American news articles. The final part of this textbook offers a comprehensive practice section for self-study using sentences which are divided into three levels of difficulty and come with model solutions.
