This course gives a comprehensive overview of the descriptive grammar of English. Our focus will be on the parts of speech, the grammatical rules of nominal and verbal phrases and the structure of the different sentence and clause types in English (e.g. finite and non-finite com-plement clauses, adjunct clauses, questions, relative clauses, and imperatives). This course provides the basis for the sessions on English syntax in the first part of the Introduction to English Linguistics by acquainting you with descriptions of English grammar according to cur-rent reference grammars.
There are optional tutorials for this lecture. We recommend attending a tutorial as preparation for the exam. Details about tutorials and registration on Stud.IP will be provided in the first session of the lecture.
