Analyzing Sentences: Reed-Kellogg Diagramming for Grammar, Syntax, and Style (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Analyzing Sentences revives Reed-Kellogg diagramming as a framework for learning grammar, understanding how syntax affects style, and refining one's own writing. Teachers of grammar and writing have long recognized the value of the Reed-Kellogg system as a powerful, practical tool for analyzing the workings of written language, and Analyzing Sentences revisits this system with a distinctive, modern approach. Rather than relying on simplified, invented examples, the book uses hundreds of real quotations from canonical and contemporary writers of journalism, fiction, creative nonfiction, philosophy, and cultural criticism.

As students learn how to diagram, they also learn a method of analysis that will serve them well in other academic and practical settings. Analyzing Sentences encourages students to think of themselves as writers who have the power to choose, with deliberation and intent, how they wish to express themselves via the written word.

An instructor's resources site offers an author index for the book's many sample sentences, as well as sample quizzes and completed diagrams for chapter exercises.
