Introducing English Syntax provides a basic introduction to syntax for students studying English as a foreign language at university. Examining English phrase and sentence structure from a descriptive point of view, this book develops the reader’s understanding of the characteristic features of English sentence construction and provides the necessary theoretical apparatus for engaging with the language.

Key features include:

  • A unique framework combining theoretical and practical approaches to provide an insight into the intricacies of English syntax;
  • An accessible and clear style which guides the learner through analysis, application and practical construction of sentences;
  • A range of exercises at the end of each chapter and a brand new e-resource housing answers and commentaries to these exercises.
