Title: Introductory transformational grammar of English
Description: This book is an accurate, updated, and substantially revised presentation of transformational grammar for students with little or no background in linguistic theory. After finishing this book, the reader should be equipped to do the following: read and understand the applications of transformational grammar that appear in the language arts journals; evaluate and teach the commercial grammar programs now available in a thorough and professional way; modify and supplement existing language programs with confidence; use quite different types of reference works on English grammar, such as Jespersen's Essentials of English Grammar and Quirk, Greenbaum, Leech and Svartvik's A Grammar of Contemporary English; and, most important of all, look at nearly any English sentence with a fair amount of insight about how it is put together. - Publisher.
