ENGL 226 - Grammar and Usage of Standard English

(3.00)

This course introduces students to various approaches to grammar: standard prescriptive grammar derived from Latin and still found in Standard Written English handbooks, descriptive grammar approach of linguists, and
some transformational (generative) grammar. Students will learn to analyze sentence formats, identify syntactical functions of words in sentences, and make knowledgeable choices about sentence construction. Students will also
learn how knowledge of grammar creates stylistic choices and also assists in understanding meaning. English 226 promotes the analysis of social
and political uses of language.
