Longman Student Grammar of Spoken and Written English - Workbook - Douglas Biber, Susan Conrad, Geoffrey Leech - 2002

Название: Longman Student Grammar of Spoken and Written English - Workbook - 2002.

Автор: Douglas Biber, Susan Conrad, Geoffrey Leech

We designed this Workbook to give you practice in analyzing English grammar and
understanding how it works in real communication. The Workbook differs from other
grammar textbooks known to us in its exclusive focus on how English is actually used. All
examples in the exercises are taken from naturally occurring English texts and
conversations, rather than being invented, idealized language

The focus on real language has three advantages.
First, authentic instances of how people really use the language are more interesting
than made-up sentences. They can even be fun! It is often entertaining to see what
people actually say and write.
Second, analyzing authentic examples will give you the tools you need as English
language students and professionals. Authentic pieces of English can be messy, and
less 'tidy' than made-up sentences. But a book with made-up sentences would not
have prepared you to understand the use of grammar in natural settings. For example,
if you become an English teacher, your students will ask you to explain the grammar of
real language use: sentences in their essays, or snatches they heard on the radio or
read in a newspaper. Also, during the rest of your time as a student, it is likely that you
will be surrounded by authentic English: in conversations, lectures, textbooks,
newspapers, and so on. This Workbook will give you the practice and tools needed to
analyze the grammatical structure of the language around you.
