Introducing English Syntax provides a basic introduction to syntax for students studying English as a foreign language at university.

Key features include:

  • A unique framework combining theoretical and practical approaches to provide an insight into the intricacies of English syntax;
  • An accessible and clear style which guides the learner through analysis, application and practical construction of sentences;
  • A range of exercises at the end of each chapter and a brand new e-resource housing answers and commentaries to these exercises.
