Advanced Analysis of English Sentence Structure I

LING-40045

This course will explore the complexities of English language structures and how and when they are used (pragmatics). There will be special emphasis on those areas of syntax which are unique to English and most troublesome to non-native speakers, including both prescriptive and descriptive forms. 


Areas covered:
  • syntactic variations related to gender, age, sociocultural linguistics, and other factors
  • the important connection between syntax, morphology, and semantics
  • how best to teach and integrate the practice of these features in all types of EFL lessons
