Introduction An article Neo-liberalism as a Creative Destruction , written by American political scientist David Harvey attempts to expose a hidden destructive side of the neo-liberal paradigm, dominant in the modern world. Starting from the explanation of neo-liberalism, Harvey draws the reader’s attention to the “naturalization” of the neo-liberal approach and the reasons behind the global neo-liberal turn. In his interpretation, a neo-liberal promise of justice and freedom led to the disguised restoration of class power and creative destruction of lower classes. Regardless of whether Harvey’s arguments in favor of hypocrisy and harmful effects of neo-liberalism are true, the linguistic interest of his work lies in the grammatical techniques he used for stating his point. Overall, Harvey’s work allows us to understand how a skillful usage of language can give weight to non-mainstream ideas and why modern English teaching should emphasize specific aspects of grammar. Grammar Analysis of Published Paper Throughout the paper, David Harvey utilized several grammar features of academic written English. More specifically, Harvey widely used the following elements of English grammar: relative clauses, conjunctive adverbs, and attributive adjectives to stress his concerns about neo-liberalism and break its disguise. This section contains examples of how the author skillfully utilized grammar to create a disturbing picture of the neo-liberal world, which promotes class segregation and inequality under the flag of freedom and justice. Examples of Relative Clauses Relative clauses play an important role in the creation of an atmosphere of inevitability with which neo-liberalism claimed dominance in the world. As Harvey argues, ‘state after state from the new states that emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union to old-style social democracies… have embraced… some version of neoliberal theory” (Harvey 145). The neo-liberal domination is evident since “advocates for the neoliberal way now occupy positions of considerable influence in… international institutions such as the IMF and the WTO that regulate global finance and trade ” (Harvey 145). Moreover, the neo-liberals managed to use the lucrative values of personal freedom and justice to construct “a conceptual apparatus, that appeals almost ‘naturally’ to our intuitions and instincts ” (Harvey 146). These examples are taken from the very first pages of the paper; hence the reader can imagine the spread of relative clauses in the whole work. Such a copious usage of relative clauses serves to portray neo-liberalism as a relentless spider that caught the whole world in its web. Harvey goes even further and finds similarities between the rise of the Pinochet regime in Chile and American intervention in Iraq, which resulted in neo-liberal economic transformations. He sees both cases as a manifestation of the coercive influence, a fact “ that the grim reach of US imperial power might lie behind the rapid proliferation of neoliberal state forms” (Harvey 147). Later on, Harvey exposes an elitist nature of free-market neo-liberalism, which helped the business and political elite to oppress the people, and uses a relative clause to state his main point. “It is the profoundl
