This book would be ideal for undergraduate students of English language and linguistics."Ludwig Tan, SIM University, Singapore "‘Noun or adjective? Phrasal or prepositional verb? Determiner or pronoun?'Using specific words attested in real life examples, the author introduces the reader to grammatical concepts and to important features of English grammar. It invites students to be linguistic detectives by studying different sentences containing a particular word, and then working out its meaning and grammatical characteristics – the result is a more sensitive and comprehensive understanding of how English grammar works. "The major achievement of From Words to Grammar is that it takes a novel, deductive approach to grammar. The innovative, practical approach, the authenticity of the examples and the non-technical language are only some of the book’s assets that will make it a valuable guide to learners at undergraduate and postgraduate level and to anyone who is interested in how English grammar works."Marina Kolokonte, Uni

Written by an experienced teacher and author, From Words to Grammar is ideal for all students of English Language.. From Words to Grammar is a different introduction to grammar for students. Each unit focuses on a different word class, using an analysis of specific words which includes:

• an introduction to the grammar of each word;
• examples of real world usage featuring that word;
• exercises with answers.

This unique approach not only introduces students to grammar but also provides them with an understanding of how grammar works in everyday English. Taking a word-based approach to grammar, this innovative book introduces the subject through the analysis of over a hundred of the most commonly used English words

If this book were just a motivational book about running I think I could have stomached it. The world was interesting but it is used as a mere backdrop, not as a world we are learning more about. I want one of those, too, and will continue looking.. I turned to my Xbox and computer games. The chapter on User Interface patterns was good, heavily relies on Martin Fowler's work, but seemed out of place where it was located. This is gold dust. We might speculate in hindsight that Irma, the partially cured patient whom Freud tried to talk out of her hysteria, showed up in his dream with throat and stomach symptoms and an illness caused by a bad injection to protest the way he injected women with his sex-etiology theories, thereby in effect silencing their true voice; and smile at Freud's dream of an orator named Lecher, a dream he had shortly after accepting a position in which he did a lot of public speaking about psychology.But that we can speculate thus we owe largely to the techniques inspired by Freud himself. I like that I can refer to things quick and that the topics/examples are succinct.. Glad I got this book! I received a discount on this product
