ENG 3P - Grammar and the Structure of English

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course will examine the structures of the English language from both descriptive and prescriptive points of view. We will discuss why certain structures have been deemed to be more correct than others that are also in common use, and how correctness differs from grammaticality. We will examine why the use of certain structures constitutes "good" or "bad" grammar, and look into how these standards have emerged and changed over time. Topics will include sentence structure and phrase structure rules, style, word classes, constituency, parts of speech, sentence relatedness, and usage. For students in the Program for Academic Success. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 and in the Program for Academic Success are required.
