| Zusammenfassung: | Part I. Where we came from: 1. Introduction -- 2. Grammar: Where did it all come from? -- 3. Eras of change and innovation: The eighteenth and nineteenth century -- Part II. Innovations and Challenges: 4. Grammar and the public, grammar for ELT -- 5. Innovation: Major new grammatical theories -- 6. Grammar as data: corpus linguistics -- 7. Grammar and discourse -- 8. Grammar, language teaching and language learning -- 9. Grammar at large "Innovations and Challenges in Grammar traces the history of common understandings of what grammar is and where it came from to demonstrate how 'rules' are anything but fixed and immutable. In doing so, it deconstructs the notion of 'correctness' to show how grammar changes over time thereby exposing the social and historical forces that mould and change usage. The questions that this book grapples with are: Can we separate grammar from the other features of the language system and get a handle on it as an independent entity? Why should there be strikingly different notions and models of grammar? Are they (in)compatible? Which one or ones fit(s) best the needs of applied linguists if we assume that applied linguists address real-world problems through the lens of language? And which one(s) could make most sense to non-specialists? If grammar is not a fixed entity but a set of usage norms in constant flux, how can we persuade other professionals and the general public that this is a positive observation rather than a threat to civilised behaviour? Drawing upon over 50 years of research, Michael McCarthy draws upon both historical and modern grammars from across the globe to provide a multi-layered picture of world grammar. This book will be useful to teachers and researchers of English as a first and second language, though the inclusion of examples from and occasional references to other languages (French, Spanish, Malay, Swedish, Russian, Welsh, Burmese, Japanese) is intended to broaden the appeal to teachers and researchers of other languages. This text will be of use to final-year undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students as well as secondary and tertiary level teachers and researchers"-- |

In doing so, it deconstructs the notion of 'correctness' to show how grammar changes over time thereby exposing the social and historical forces that mould and change usage. The questions that this book grapples with are: Can we separate grammar from the other features of the language system and get a handle on it as an independent entity? Why should there be strikingly different notions and models of grammar? Are they (in)compatible? Which one or ones fit(s) best the needs of applied linguists if we assume that applied linguists address real-world problems through the lens of language? And which one(s) could make most sense to non-specialists? If grammar is not a fixed entity but a set of usage norms in constant flux, how can we persuade other professionals and the general public that this is a positive observation rather than a threat to civilised behaviour? Drawing upon over 50 years of research, Michael McCarthy draws upon both historical and modern grammars from across the globe to provide a multi-layered picture of world grammar. This book will be useful to teachers and researchers of English as a first and second language, though the inclusion of examples from and occasional references to other languages (French, Spanish, Malay, Swedish, Russian, Welsh, Burmese, Japanese) is intended to broaden the appeal to teachers and researchers of other languages. This text will be of use to final-year undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students as well as secondary and tertiary level teachers and researchers"-- Kontrastive Grammatik (DE-588)4073706-8 gnd rswk-swf Grammar, Comparative and general Language and languages / Grammars Language and languages / Philosophy Kontrastive Grammatik (DE-588)4073706-8 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-429-24356-1 (DE-604)BV047016712 Digitalisierung UB Bamberg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032325887&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
