Course description
This is an advanced course on English grammar, using the same model of description as that in LING1000 (based on the The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language) to deal with the more complex structures that are characteristic of written language. The grammar covered will involve three categories: word, sentence and text level grammar, with a focus on these last two. A range of authentic written texts will be used to demostrate the use of grammatical structures and their effects.
