{"product_id":"english-sentence-constructions","title":"English Sentence Constructions","description":"\u003ci\u003eEnglish Sentence Constructions\u003c\/i\u003e departs from a usage-based theoretical perspective in which all language units -- which we refer to as constructions -- have both a meaning and form, and context is all-important in determining the function and form of these constructions.\u003cbr\u003e                                        As a starting-level module, \u003ci\u003eEnglish Sentence Constructions\u003c\/i\u003e guides students of English or Language at tertiary level through different levels of analysis at the sentence, clause, phrase, and word level. \u003cbr\u003eThe book starts with an explanation of different sentence types and structures (Chapters 1 and 2), zooms in on the verb phrase as the central component of any sentence (in Chapters 3 and 4), before zooming in even closer, discussing word classes (Chapter 5) and phrases (Chapter 6). The next two chapters explicate the intricacies of sentence constituents that function as clauses (Chapter 7) and aid students in integrating all chapters by discussing sentence analysis at all levels (Chapter 8). The last chapter (Chapter 9) shows how knowledge about sentence constructions can be applied to effective writing in English. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnglish Sentence Constructions\u003c\/i\u003e can be used in teacher-led modules, but the many exercises in each chapter, the clearly worked out answer keys, and a comprehensive glossary of terminology also make it suitable for self-study. For each chapter, there is an online test in which students can check their understanding.\u003cbr\u003eThe exercises can be found on the book's companion website: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1075\/z.240.website","brand":"John Benjamins Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247094157656,"sku":"9789027211491","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/english-sentence-constructions","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
