EN 3023 - English Grammar (3) SP

An eclectic study that includes both a review of the traditional grammar and an introduction to some important concepts of structural and transformational grammar. Class discussion, assigned readings, and exercises aim at discovery of principles by which we generate and analyze the structures of standard English, with special attention to grammatical terminology that is especially useful for teachers and writers. More specifically, this study examines syntactic patterns and their transformations, form and function in the several word classes, and the relation of standard dialect and punctuation to grammatical concepts.

Prerequisite: EN 1313. Required of English teaching majors.
