Практическая грамматика английского языка (морфология)
Ставрополь 2000
ОТ АВТОРОВ – СОСТАВИТЕЛЕЙ
Настоящее учебное пособие составлено старшими преподавателями кафедры английского языка ФРГЯ СГУ Алюниной О.Г. (1 – 12 главы) и Нос И.И. (13, 14 главы).
Пособие подготовлено на основе программы курса «Нормативная грамматика английского языка», разработанной кафедрой английского языка СГУ и предназначено для студентов 1-2 курсов специальностей «Лингвистика и межкультурная коммуникация» и «Информатика, лингвистика и межкультурная коммуникация».
В пособии представлены грамматические нормы английского языка, которые подлежат усвоению студентами. Грамматические явления в пособии описаны по следующему алгоритму
-
Определение.
-
Морфологические признаки.
-
Синтаксические характеристики.
-
Семантические особенности.
-
Прагматический аспект употребления.
Задачей пособия является не только описание нормативной базы современного английского языка, но и представление его как средства исключения типичных ошибок, препятствующих осуществлению эффективной межкультурной коммуникации.
При подборе иллюстративного материала авторы пособия старались отобрать примеры, содержащие наиболее употребительную лексику в рамках функционирующих грамматических конструкций. Все примеры аутентичны, заимствованы из произведений как классической, так и современной англо-американской прозы.
Практической и теоретической основой данного пособия является учебник “A Grammar of the English Language”, В.П. Каушанская и др.
