Modern English Structures - Second Edition


Book Description

Modern English Structures is a clear and accessible text that follows a structural approach to teaching basic English grammar. The book is divided into three parts: what a sentence constituent is, what a sentence constituent does, and where a sentence constituent goes—Form, Function, and Position. The objective of the book is to bring students to a better understanding of sentence constituents and sentence structures, providing them with appropriate terminology to discuss these forms and relationships. This second edition has been revised and updated throughout. The accompanying Modern English Structures Workbook parallels the text and provides useful training both in memorization and in higher-order thinking skills.

Understanding Syntax 2nd Edition


Book Description

Assuming no prior knowledge of linguistics, it discusses and illustrates all the major terms and concepts essential to the study of sentence structure in the world's languages. 'Noun' and 'verb' are explained, and the properties of these categories are discussed. The reader discovers what a finite verb is, what 'first person singular' means and what relative clauses look like. Concepts such as 'subject', 'object', 'gender', 'case', and 'subordination' are introduced and exemplified. Initial illustration is from English, with extensive additional material from several other languages. 'Exotic' constructions not found in related European languages are fully covered, so that verb serialization, ergative languages and head-marking languages are all included. This new edition has been updated and revised to meet the needs of today's students. Difficult points are given fuller explanation, a glossary of technical terms is included, and additional exercises have been introduced to enable students to consolidate what they have learnt.

Visual Phrasal Verbs


Book Description

This book has been written as a learning aid for EFL students (English as a Foreign Language). It is geared towards upper-intermediate and advanced students, and the first half goes over the most common verbs (e.g. come, bring, put, and make) while the second half runs through the most common prepositions (e.g. up, down, with, and on). The phrasal verbs are grouped together to make them sink in quicker. Multiple images are included in every chapter to draw out the various shades of meaning and to make the words easier to memorize. Each chapter has at least one vocabulary table, one micro-text, one short exercise, and several striking images. At the end of the book, the vocabulary is revised in a number of exercises for antonyms and synonyms. For learners who are hungry for extra resources, there is a playlist on YouTube with almost 100 video lessons (‘Learn Phrasal Verbs’) that focus on the same vocabulary. This coursebook, combined with the videos, is ideal for self-study, but it could also be used in the classroom.




The (Un)Translatability of Qur’anic Idiomatic Phrasal Verbs


Book Description

Qur’anic idiomaticity, in its all aspects, poses a great deal of challenge to Qur’an readers, learners, commentators, and translators. One of the most challenging aspects of Qur’anic idiomaticity is Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs, where significances of proper Arabic verbs are entirely fused with significances of prepositions following them to produce new significances that have nothing to do with the basic significances of those verbs and prepositions. By examining a corpus of ten of the most influential English translations of the Qur’an, this study scrutinizes how some translators of the Qur’an have dealt with the phenomenon of Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs, the difficulties that they have encountered when translating them into English, and the strategies that they have employed in their attempts to overcome the inherent ambiguity of such expressions and provide their functional-pragmatic equivalents for English readership. The study proposes a working model for analysing and assessing the translation of the Qur’anic idiomatic phrasal verbs and provides a number of theory-based recommendations for translators in general and Qur’an translators in particular.
