Product Description

Product Description
Grammar and Writing is a practical book designed to be used by writers of all kinds who want to improve their knowledge of language in order to develop and improve their writing skills.

The authors explaingrammatical terms in an accessible manner, through close attention to the way language is used in specific extracts from literary and non-literary writing.



From the Back Cover
Grammar and Writing is a practical book designed to be used by writers of all kinds who want to improve their knowledge of language in order to develop and improve their writing skills.
The book includes chapters on-
* clause and sentence structure
* word classes
* punctuation
* the grammar of literary style
Grammatical terms are explained in an accessible manner and through close attention to the way language is used in specific extracts from literary and non-literary writing- from Ruskin’s Modern Painters to the Collins’ Bird Guide. Engaging and work-related writing and analysis activities in each chapter help to enhance the reader’s knowledge of new grammatical terms and show their relevance to the world of work.
This book, like the others in the Speak-Write series, is designed to be used both by groups working within a degree course or by students working alone.
Grammar and Writing and the three other books in the Speak-Write Series, Writing with Style, Speaking Your Mind, and Making Your Case, are the result of three years of research, teaching, design and development undertaken by the nationally-acclaimed Speak-Write Project. This project, funded by HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council in England) through its Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning, was established to provide groundbreaking teaching materials to advance the speaking, writing and grammatical skills of first-year humanities undergraduates.
Rebecca Stott, Peter Chapman, Kim Landers and Val Scullion are all based in the Department of English, Anglia Polytechnic University.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful; makes implicit knowledge explicit., 17 Jan 2009
This book is a wonderful book for anyone wanting to learn more about grammar. Grammar is often a tricky business for a lot of people but few have the courage to actually do something about it(esp. when English is supposed to be your mother-tongue).This was the case with me: I am a now a postgraduate student and I know that during my undergrad, the correct usage of grammar was something which I struggled with in my writing, but never bothered to take lengths to correct things- I thought I will acquire the knowledge somehow, when the truth remains that no matter how good your ideas are, bad grammar or incorrect syntax will ALWAYS let you down.

A professor recommended this book and I am so glad I have finally purchased it-better late than never! Using examples from a range of texts, and non-jargon, it explains essential aspects of the English language and grammar and those things in writing that I am often unsure of.

Like I said, I am really happy I've finally purchased this book: what it is really doing is making implicit knowledge explicit. I intend to finish it and start from page one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Take the fast lane, 10 Jul 2009
By Mr. J. Drew "Jamie" (Norwich UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Grammar and writing is an excellent guide for learning the building blocks of the English language. Unlike many other books on grammar it is written in a simple but yet informative way, thus maintaining integrity. There are plenty of examples to consolidate the underlying principles as the title 'Grammar and Writing' suggests. This book is a valuable tool, especially for those who wish to gain a quick insight into the grammatical field without too much painstaking reading, as is usually the case with text books.
