Краткое описание: Advanced English C.A.E. Grammar Practice
Revised and updated

Краткое описание: Analyzing the Grammar of English (which we abbreviate AGE) is an analysis of the grammar of a particular language (English) and not an introduction to linguistics whose examples end up coming from English. A textbook and not a reference grammar, AGE also constitutes a reasonably brief examination of its topics that the authors’ classroom experience has shown can be completed in a fifteen-week semester. AGE keeps end-of-chapter notes to a minimum and attempts no bibliographical coverage. On the other hand, exercises abound—even more so in the present edition—that complement the text as fully as possible and are prefaced in most cases by examples of how to proceed. (AGE also contains a lengthy glossary of terms—new to this edition—along with an index of topics)

Краткое описание:
This book has been written primarily for undergraduate and graduate students of English as a foreign or second language. It is also addressed to tutors and others interested in applying a broadly functional approach to language teaching in higher education. It assumes an intermediate standard of knowledge and practical handling of the language and, from this point of departure, seeks to fulfill the following aims:

- to further students knowledge of English through exploration and analysis;
- to help students acquire a global vision of English, rather than concentrate on unrelated areas;
- to see a grammar as providing a means of understanding the relation of form to meaning, and meaning to function, in context;
- to provide a basic terminology which, within this framework, will enable students to make these relationships explicit.

Краткое описание: Although Barron’s How to Prepare for the TOEFL was originally written as a self-study guide for students who were preparing to take the TOEFL, in the years since its first publication, I have received letters from ESL teachers around the world who are using the book successfully for classroom study. In fact, in recent years, many special courses have been developed Within the existing ESL curriculum to accommodate TOEFL preparation.

Краткое описание: The ideas described in this book have been developed in linguistics and the philosophy of language, as vell as in some related disciplines such as mathematics, logic and psychology. They necessarily represent only a very small proportion of the long tradition of the serious study of language; we have chosen them because of their impact on current work in linguistics and the philosophy of language. These two disciplines are subdivided into many different branches. Linguistics, for example, includes work undertaken in semantics, pragmatics, phonology, syntax, sociolinguistics and many other fields…

Краткое описание: The Oxford Guide to English Grammar is a systematic account of grammatical forms and the way they are used in standard British English today. The emphasis is on meanings and how they govern the choice of grammatical pattern.

The book is thorough in its coverage but pays most attention to points that are of importance to intermediate and advanced learners of English, and to their teachers. it will be found equally suitable for quick reference to details and for the more leisured study of broad grammar topics.
A useful feature of the book is the inclusion of example texts and conversations. many of them authentic, to show how grammar is used in connected writing and in speech.
