Course Description

This course introduces grammar as the study of the different parts of the English sentence and how these parts relate to each other. It covers the full range of units - the individual words, which combine with other words to form phrases, which, in turn, combine with other phrases to form clauses. The course draws attention to the key features of the major constituents of the English sentence, and the various functions they perform. Students are also given a brief introduction to the two main approaches to the study of grammar - the formal and the functional.
