Présentation de l'éditeur
The Handbook of Effective Writing is both a textbook for class use and a manual for theme correction. I. As a textbook it covers the material ordinarily given in a college course in Freshman English including the whole theme, the paragraph, the sentence, diction, and punctuation. The essential principles are presented concisely, with sufficient explanation to make them clear to the student, but without the minor details which properly belong to a more specialized course. Ample exercises are provided for class drill. The chapter on Diction deals with the common, mistakes in the use of words and also with methods for increasing the vocabulary. The purpose is to lead the student, first to avoid the errors that he has been making, and then to broaden his acquaintance with words and cultivate an interest in them. It is only by a combination of these two kinds of study that an adequate vocabulary can be obtained. After various chapters are placed special exercises in simple, clear, and accurate expression, which supplement the work in formal sentence structure given in the other parts of the text. In correcting these exercises the student is encouraged to ignore rules and to center his attention on the thought to be expressed.
