Increase Your Wordpower - with Cloze Tests, Word Formations, Collocations...

File type: PDF | DJVU
File size: 70,7MB | 0,7MB

However, the exercises in some sections are "graded" according to difficulty - with easier tests being followed by more difficult ones. Thus, it is my belief that intermediate students too can very much benefit from its contents! The book has also to some extent been arranged thematically, and has exercises that are interrelated. Additionally, there is towards the back of the book a vocabulary game.

Hence, teachers should also find this work very useful - especially in the classroom... Students preparing for such exams as FCE, CAE, CPE and similar will find this publication immensly useful.

The Key to English Two-word Verbs

By English Language Services
Collier-Macmillan 1991 ISBN: 0029717205
ASIN: B0000CMO5D  132 pages | PDF  5,7 MB

This manual is intended to help the student, either in a class or working alone, to master a troublesome matter in English verb patterning, namely, the combination verb + adverb (or preposition), with or without a following noun object.

These combinations are variously called "two-word verbs" (as in this book), "merged verbs," "compound verbs," "verb-adverb combinations," and so forth. We are dealing, of course, with structures like put it on, call up Mr. Smith, take this information down, in which a verb and a function word (adverb) work closely together to express a meaning. In addition, when an object is present, these words may be separated by noun objects and must be separated by unstressed pronoun objects. Such combinations are usually called "separable" two-word verbs.

We also have combinations like get on the bus, look for the money, wait on the customers, which are inseparable - we say get on it, look for it, wait on them - but which nevertheless are more intimately connected than a mere intransitive verb followed by a prepositional phrase. In identifying the inseparable two-word verbs, we have relied almost entirely on meaning. There is some overlapping with The Key to English Prepositions 2, since that book treats combinations of verbs and prepositional phrases. Our criterion is this: if the meaning of a combination can be predicted on the basis of the meaning of the individual parts (listen to, insist on), it is called a verb followed by a preposition; if not (look for, call on), it is called a two-word verb. Some students may need to use a bilingual dictionary along with this book, as the vocabulary has not been restricted.

The Glossary at the end of the book lists about 400 combinations, with definitions. It is indicative of the productivity of the two-word verb in English that only 120 full verbs occur in the list; differences in meaning are expressed by changing the function word. The Glossary is not exhaustive; new combinations are readily coined, and new meanings of existing combinations are constantly being created. Nevertheless the Glossary contains most of the meanings of most of the combination that the student is likely to encounter in reading and in informal conversation, and if he masters all those presented in this book he should have little difficulty in the future with two-word verbs. It was intended that the material in the book be studied in sequence, since each lesson is based to a degree on preceding material. Nevertheless, individual exercises can be used at any time to teach a point if desired.

Word Smart: Building an Educated Vocabulary

By Adam Robinson, David Owen,
Vill.rd Books | 1993 | ISBN: 0679745890

320 pages | PDF | 3,8 MB

1) Do you know that to peruse a book is not to skim it?
2) Do you know the difference between enormous and enormity?
3) Do you know the adjective form of admonish, or the noun form of dubious?

If you answered no to any of these questions, you need Word Smart.
Improving your vocabulary is important, but where do you start? The English language has hundreds of thousands of words. To find out which words you absolutely need to know, The Princeton Review researched the vocabularies of educated adults. It analyzed newspapers from The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal, magazines from Time to Scientific American and books from current bestsellers to classics. It threw out the words that most people know and focused on the words that people misunderstand or misuse. From these, it selected 823 words that appeared most frequently.
And for students, The Princeton Review did the same thing. It analyzed the PSAT, the SAT, and GRE to determine which words are tested more frequently. Word Smart is the only vocabulary book you'll ever need.
(Answers:
1) Despite what most people think, peruse means to read carefully.
2) Enormity can refer to the state of being large, but it also means a wicked or depraved act.
3) Admonitory, dubiety.)

Grammar in Interaction: Adverbial Clauses in American English Conversations

 (Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics)

By Cecilia E. Ford
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Pages: 184, Date: 1993-04-30
ISBN-10 : 0521418038, PDF5.2 mb

Cecilia E. Ford explores the question: what work do adverbial clauses do in conversational interaction? Her analysis of this predominating conjunction strategy in English conversation is based on the assumption that grammars reflect recurrent patterns of situated language use, and that a primary site for language is in spontaneous talk.

She considers the interactional as well as the informational work of talk and shows how conversationalists use grammar to coordinate their joint language production. The management of the complexities of the sequential development of a conversation, and the social roles of conversational participants, have been extensively examined within the sociological approach of Conversation Analysis.

Dr Ford uses Conversation Analysis as a framework for the interpretation of interclausal relations in her database of American English conversations. Her book contributes to a growing body of research on grammar in discourse, which has until recently remained largely focused on monologic rather than dialogic functions of language.
Contents

1. Introduction; 2. Overview of the conversational corpus; 3. Initial adverbial clauses; 4. Final versus initial adverbial clauses in continuous intonation; 5. Final adverbial clauses after ending intonation; 6. Comparison of clause types and apparent deviations from the general patterns; 7. Conclusion.

Georgian Syntax: A Study in Relational Grammar (Cambridge Studies in Linguistics)

By Alice C. Harris
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Pages: 352, Date: 2009-04-30
ISBN-10 : 052110971X, PDF 6.7 mb

Georgian has sometimes been described as a language that is 'totally irregular', where the notions of 'subject', 'object' and 'indirect object' have no relevance. Although it is often cited in work on general linguistics, language universals and language typology, no systematic account of the syntax of this morphologically complex language has been available for Western linguists.

Dr Harris's work fills this important need, and indeed her book provides one of the best and most thorough studies available in English of the syntax of a non-Indo-European language. Working in the framework of relational grammar - a framework that is attracting great interest - Dr Harris shows that Georgian does have constructions found in better-known languages, and the study of individual languages to the development of linguistic theory.

GrammarWork 2: English Exercises in Context, 2nd Edition

By Pamela Breyer
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Pages: 146, Date: 1995-11-01
ISBN-10 : 0133402584, PDF 7.5 Mb

This book, the first of a series of 4, fills a niche for ESL teachers and tutors looking to do concentrated work on the basics. The format is very clear and each one-page lesson builds directly on the previous ones, with reviews interspersed every so often.

The book itself is divided into units that deal with a main grammatical concept; other concepts are used at the same time to expand the context and tie in with previously studied material.

An aspect that distinguishes this book from other grammar texts I have used is the repetitive format: the author believes in practice, practice, practice. For some advanced students this may appear redundant, but for those who are sometimes confused by new concepts this format works well to build confidence in their ability to learn.

New vocabulary is pointed out separately from the text, and the lessons build on previously presented vocabulary. The exercises also deal with real-life situations but without the daunting amount of new words found in other grammar texts.

Even the Table of Contents is organized in a way that makes it easy to look up lessons that deal with specific grammatical points. This makes it an excellent book to use as supplementary material for review, though I've used it with success as a core text.
