About the Authors
  • Andrew Radford has acquired an unrivalled reputation over the past forty years for writing syntax textbooks in which difficult concepts are clearly explained without excessive use of technical jargon. Analysing English Sentence Structure continues in this tradition, offering a well-structured intermediate course in English syntax and contemporary syntactic theory. Chapters are split into core modules, each focusing on a specific topic, and the reader is supported throughout with learning aids such as summaries, lists of key hypotheses and principles, extensive references, exercises with handy hints, and a glossary of terminology. Both teachers and instructors will benefit from the book's free online resources, which comprise an open-access Students' Answerbook, and a password-protected Teachers' Answerbook, each containing comprehensive answers to exercises, with detailed tree diagrams. The book and accompanying resources are designed to serve both as a coursebook for use in class, and as a self-study resource for use at home.

    • Workbook sections with helpful hints enable students to gain hands-on experience in analysing specific phenomena
    • An extensive glossary provides students with a clear explanation of traditional and contemporary grammatical terminology
    • Accompanying free online Answerbooks (one for students, and another for instructors) are an invaluable resource, providing comprehensive analyses and detailed tree diagrams
