Why another book on grammar? You probably have been learning quite
a lot of grammar, but you are still not clear about how to make a
sentence. Why? Is there anything wrong with your approach to
learning? If we offer you a funny way, a non-traditional method, a
'new' perspective on thinking about grammar, will you try it? The
aim of this book is to introduce a 'new' perspective on learning
grammar, especially for Business English. We start and end with
sentences, the most important part in writing, and sometimes
speaking. Unlike traditional grammar books that discuss nouns,
verbs, adjectives, we go straight to sentences as we believe at the
end of the day what you want are actually sentences. How? This book
has two features: It focuses on how to. Most grammar books helps
you understand grammar terms, but, we show you how to put them into
practice, how to make sentences (written and spoken). This book
also talks about grammar in an easy, funny way. You'll learn
sentence structures by solving a problem between two women who have
to 'share' a husband; you'll get the differences between the past
simple and the present perfect simple by reading a love story; and
there are also funny names such as Lonely, Friendly, Slim, and Fat
Verbs for you to learn.

terms, an index, and a detailed examination of different registers
of the language. Clearly structured and systematically organised,

Presented over 5 volumes (available separately), The Quran: Key
Word Distribution, Correlations and Collocation Frequencies
provides key data related to the lexicon of the Quran, in terms of
Key Word distribution and lexical associations. The digital text
used for this purpose is the widely-used Uthmani text of the Tanzil
Quran Text. All vocalised Arabic text is quoted unaltered in any
shape or form from the Tanzil text. Unvocalised Arabic text and
transcriptions are the author's own. In this series, each Key Word
- here adjectives, nouns, proper nouns and verbs - is presented
together with the following key data: degree of concentration,
weighted distribution, and correlations and collocation
frequencies. The Key Words are always referenced by their lemma and
are sorted alphabetically according to Arabic and UNICODE order. In
lemmatising the words, no attention has been given to the semantics
of each word. Only on rare occasion have similar forms of words or
proper nouns been separated in order to avoid confusion. In
assigning each word a lemma, the author has consulted classical
dictionaries and Quran commentaries, as well as modern Quran
dictionaries.

This is the first comprehensive modern Portuguese grammar written
for the English-speaking reader. The book covers in detail all the
patterns of modern Portuguese as spoken and written in Brazil,
focusing on those points which are especially challenging for the
English-speaking student, such as the use of the subjunctive, use
of the definite article, preterit vs. imperfect verb forms,
prepositions, and many others. With a wealth of examples to clarify
every topic and an extensive index, this indispensable grammar
offers students and teachers easy access to all the information
they need for in-depth study of Portuguese.
Key features of the book:
-- focuses on the needs of the English-speaking reader
-- incorporates the results of recent linguistic research in
jargon-free language
-- emphasizes modern spoken Brazilian usage
-- describes current Brazilian pronunciation in detail
-- devotes a separate chapter to spelling problems
-- discusses trends of the modern spoken language
The essays in this volume address a core question regarding the
structure of linguistic systems: how much access do the grammatical
components - syntax, morphology and phonology - have to each other?
The book's fifteen essays make a powerful argument in favor of a
particular view of the interaction of these various components,
shedding light on the nature of locality domains for allomorph
selection, the morphosyntactic properties of the targets of
phonological exponence, and adjudicating between competing theories
of morphosyntaxphonology interaction. These words incorporate
insights from recent theoretical developments such as Optimality
Theory and Distributed Morphology, and insights made available to
us by contemporary empirical methodologies, including field work
and experimental and corpus-based quantitative work.
