Excerpt from Sentences and Thinking: A Practice Book in Sentence Making

I. What the sentence is. The sentence, as the thought unit, is the starting-point for the study of composition. It should be regarded, at the outset, not as the result of a mechanical manipulation of grammatical elements, but as an organism, an organic whole, reproducing in words a thought in the mind, as a-photograph reproduces a scene. It is always our first concern to see the thought clearlyfto get it clearly focused in our minds; to this everything else is secondary, - the grammar, the parts of speech, the syntax that are so often the bugbear of the student because they are approached wrongly. In the discussion that follows, we shall look first to the thought.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a foundational guide to writing effective sentences. It begins by examining the nature and structure of the sentence and then delve into the expressive potential of different sentence elements such as phrases and clauses. One of the book's key themes is the importance of subordination. The author argues that skillful writing is characterized by an abundance of subordination, where subordinate clauses and phrases are used to express less important ideas, thereby allowing the main idea to stand out clearly. The book also explores other aspects of sentence writing, including parallelism, emphasis, economy, and vagueness. The author's insights on these topics can benefit writers of all levels, helping them to produce sentences that are not only grammatically correct but also clear, concise, and engaging. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330210178_0
