An Introduction to English Syntax: Second Edition

Jim Miller

"A slim and useful student textbook for English syntax. Although most of the examples are from English, the book introduces general concepts which provide the necessary tools for a basic syntactic analysis of any language. It concentrates on topics that will remain useful to the student who does not go on to study linguistics but, say, literature or EFL teaching." — The Year's Work in English Studies
