Introduction to
English Grammar
First thing goes first!
? 1. What is grammar?
? 2. Why do we study grammar?
? 3. How can grammar be acquired/learned?
? 4. What shall we do in this course?
1. What is grammar
? Grammar is the formal study of the
structure of a language and describes how
words fit together in meaningful
constructions.
? A property of brain
? a specific description, study or analysis of
rules for language use
? Home computers are now much cheaper.
Home computers now much are cheaper.*
? Susan likes Tom.
Tom likes Susan.
operational grammar vs. analytic
grammar
? We acquire a working knowledge of our
native language simply through being
exposed to it from early childhood.
? You study grammar, however, if you want to
be able to analyse your language. The
analytic grammar makes explicit the
knowledge of the rules with which you
operate when you use the language.
Descriptive vs. prescriptive
? A descriptive rule is one that describes how people use their
language.
? Sometimes people speaking the same dialect disagree in their
evaluation of particular sentences. For example, some speakers of
standard British English find acceptable I demand that she gives her
reasons; others prefer or require a different form of the verb in the that-
clause, either that she give her reasons or that she should give her
reasons.
? Rules that specify which usages should be adopted or avoided are
called prescriptive rules. Examples of prescriptive rules are:
? Don¡¯t use like as a conjunction, as in He speaks like his father does.
? Don¡¯t use between you and I.
? Don¡¯t split an infinitive, as in to actually feel.
? Don¡¯t end a sentence with a preposition.
? Knowing the rules in evaluative and
operational senses does not mean that
you can say what the rules are.
What makes a good rule?
? Truth
? Limitation
? Clarity
? Simplicity
? Familiarity
? Relevance
2. Why do we study grammar?
? Read the following two reflective
comments and discuss your opinions
Reflection
? A language is learned through practice. It
is merely perfected through grammar.
