4.9/5 (17091 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Handbook of English Writing Can a handbook be so designed that it will be equally useful as a reference book and as a text for systematic study? Can it at the same time be adapted to the needs of different types of students, whether their previous training has been good, fair, or even distinctly poor? Can it be made serviceable alike to the teacher directing class work and to the unassisted student directing his own study? These are the problems that this book attempts to meet. The solutions that are offered can best be understood in the light of some general explanation. The Significance of Grammar. What, first, about grammar? There are certain convictions, it seems fair to say, on which thoughtful, experienced teachers are fairly well agreed; and this book is an expression of these convictions. One conviction is that much of so-called formal grammar is of little or no practical value for the student who is learning how to write. Analytical distinctions of purely logical character and subtle issues in parsing, interesting though they may be to the advanced student of language, need have no place in a handbook that aims primarily to be practical. Another conviction, however, and one no less strong, is that there are certain grammatical conceptions so important that a student who has a sound mastery of them comes to the practical problems of writing with an inestimable advantage.
