For undergraduate and graduate level courses in English grammar,
syntax, and writing; also appropriate for a course in teaching
English at the secondary level. Approaching grammar as a process
and not a product, this text engages students in a conversation
about English that will help them reflect on how their language
works and understand the social judgments that accompany language
use-making them feel they are active participants in shaping their
language rather than passive victims of grammar rules that someone
imposes on them. Employing the terminology of traditional grammar
combined with the insights gained by modern linguistic analysis, it
describes English as an instrument of communication, and lays the
necessary groundwork for thinking about language so that students
can extend what they learn to new situations and apply their
knowledge of language in ways most useful to them. Three different
types of exercises support the learning and review processes and
motivate students to think, talk, and write about English with
increasing confidence and sophistication as the term progresses.
This text is intended to help those students who have progressed
beyond introductory course books to translate from Latin into
English. There are explanations of each Latin construction, graded
exercises, plus notes and exercises on Latin words and usages which
cut across several constructions.
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.
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 book explores aspects of the Arabic Grammatical Tradition and
Arabic Linguistics from both a theoretical and descriptive
perspective. It also touches on issues of relevance to other
disciplines, particularly Qur'anic exegesis and jurisprudence. The
links between the fields of language and religion are historically
strong in the Arabic and Islamic traditions as so much time and
effort was spent by grammarians in interpreting the precise
meanings of two of the main sources of Islamic jurisprudence - the
Quran and Hadith. Prof Suleiman has assembled an international team
of experts in this area and presents a thorough review of the
sources and arguments. The book will be of interest to all
students, researchers and teachers of Arabic Language and Culture.
