This course takes as its core the study of English syntax. As a discourse community, the class will systematically examine the functions and interrelations of sentence components - words, phrases, and clauses. We will work inductively to form grammatical rules and apply those rules in creating prose writings that are correct in syntax, usage, and punctuation. Upon completing this course, students will be able to conduct syntactical analyses of almost any sentence presented to them, generate a variety of syntactical structures, understand rhetorical implications of grammatical choices, and improve writing and proofreading skills.
