Simply English - An A-Z Of Avoidable Errors (Paperback): Simon Heffer Simply English - An A-Z Of Avoidable Errors (Paperback)
Simon Heffer 1
R454 R411 Discovery Miles 4 110 Save R43 (9%) Ships in 9 - 17 working days

In his best-selling Strictly English Simon Heffer explained how to write and speak our language well. In Simply English he offers an entertaining and supremely useful A-Z guide to frequent errors, common misunderstandings and stylistic howlers. What is the difference between amend and emend, between imply and infer, and between uninterested and disinterested? When should one put owing to rather than due to? Why should the temptation to write actually, basically or at this moment in time always be strenuously resisted? How does one use an apostrophe correctly, ensure that one understands what alibi really means, and avoid the perils of the double negative? With articles on everything from punctuation to tabloid English to adverbs and adjectives, Simply English is the essential companion for anyone who cares about the language and wants to use it correctly.

Norme vir Afrikaans het oor die jare al bewys gelewer dat dit 'n bron is vir gebruik in taalkundeklaskamers van tersiere instellings en selfs in skole. Die titel is 'n praktiese naslaanbron wat as basis vir eie taalontwikkeling kan dien. In die aanpak word probeer om taalteorie en taalpraktyk versoen. In die besonder focus die titel op die 'norme' wat; 'n mens in gedagte moet hou by die praktiese gebruik van Afrikaans, onder meer die beginsels onderliggend aan hierdie norme, en dan ook die identifisering van belangrike en nuttige bronne van taaladvies oor problematiese taalsake. Die doel van die titel is nie om streng 'normatief' te probeer voorskryf nie, maar eerder om leiding te gee met die hantering van praktiese taalkwessies, met as vertrekpunt gefundeerde taalteoretiese kennis oor die Afrikaanse taalkunde. Die riglyne van die negende uitgawe van die Afrikaanse Woordelys en Spelreels (2002) is ook volledig in hierdie uitgawe verken.
