Master the structure behind every sentence with this in-depth and accessible guide to English syntax. Whether you're a linguistics student, ESL educator, grammar enthusiast, or curious learner, this book takes you far beyond basic grammar rules and into the heart of how English works.
Explore the hidden architecture that shapes the way we speak, write, and interpret meaning. From foundational concepts like phrase structure and clause types to complex topics such as ambiguity, movement, and emphasis, each chapter builds your understanding of how syntax governs the form and flow of language.
With clear explanations and real-world examples, you'll uncover how English sentences are built, why structure matters, and how even the smallest syntactic choices can transform meaning. You'll gain tools not just for analysis, but for sharper communication, deeper interpretation, and more precise writing.
