Whys & Therefores aids the reader to arrive at generalizations
for the shape of the English language: words, grammar, meaning,
sound and spelling. The format adopted throughout is that of a
light-hearted ongoing Socratic dialogue between a mentor and a
pupil. The intended effects of such activity are: awareness of what
it means to 'know' a language; reliance upon native-language
intuition; discovery of what one didn't know that one already
'knows' about the language; use of ungrammaticality as an
investigative tool; healthy questioning of received facts about
language from so-called experts; and usefulness of language play.
Whys & Therefores can be read as a book, listened to on the
accompanying CD, dipped into at random, expanded upon, even acted
out. The language phenomena treated therein are indexed and tabbed
to the dialogues where they are discussed, making Whys &
Therefores a valuable source of reference. Whys & Therefores is
intended as an entertaining yet serious do-it-yourself book about
aspects of English language form and meaning. However, it will also
prove useful to schools as classroom material to be further
exploited by the instructor in free-range dialogue form, and to
institutions offering teacher training in rational-based
instructional procedures for English language education in the
schools.
