The Structure of English


Extension: An outline of Hungarian vs. English morphosyntax

Throughout this book we will constantly compare and contrast English and Hungarian, to be able to understand, express, and resolve the problems and difficulties Hungarian learners of English might experience. The two languages historically come from two unrelated language families (Hungarian being a Finno-UgricUralic – language, English being GermanicIndo-European), which partly explains the amount of differences in form and structure – that is, the fact that in almost any of the relevant aspects they belong to two different language types. When we compare and contrast languages exclusively from the point of view of linguistic structure, and aim to categorise them accordingly, we evaluate them with respect to what is called language typology.

The Structure of English

Tartalomjegyzék


Kiadó: Akadémiai Kiadó

Online megjelenés éve: 2018

ISBN: 978 963 454 234 6

This book is an introduction to English grammar, giving a systematic overview of the morphological and syntactic structures which comprise this language.

The content covered within the book is designed to closely reflect that of two academic courses at PPCU; in English Studies as well as in the teaching of English as a foreign language (TEFL). These are English Grammar and English Syntax for Teachers respectively. It is therefore intended as a guide for students to supplement their classes and deepen their knowledge in these areas. Accordingly, each chapter includes a list of further reading, as well as a set of practice exercises for revision of the materials presented.

Across the chapters, there a comprehensive introduction to the many morpho-syntactic structures which characterise English grammar, with outlines of relevant theories and practices for the teaching of these structures.

In this way, the book effectively synthesises frameworks for both the learning and teaching of English as a foreign language.
