The new edition of this text employs insights from contemporary language theories building them into a practical and coherent system that stays firmly rooted within traditional models. Its explanations of how language works are illustrated at each step with diagrams and other visual models. The examples and exercises consist of "real-life" sentences rather than grammar-book examples. Each chapter includes a sentence-analysis exercise with 50 problems. Answers are provided for ten sentences per chapter. A new chapter on how grammar functions in literature and how it is used to improve writing seeks to extend the applications of "Doing Grammar" in this second edition, which also includes new introductory chapter outlines and thoroughly revised chapter summaries. The new edition was class tested for over a year. Each page has been re-thought and redefined to make grammatical analysis clear, understandable, useful, and interesting. It is intended as a guide for students in introductory and advanced grammar and composition courses and for all readers seeking to discover how language works. This book is intended for undergraduates in introductory Grammar courses.
