Try and V construction in English

Try and V construction in EnglishTry and V construction in English

This is my final project in Grammar of English Clauses class which I attended when I was doing my master degree at the University of Manchester.

There is an unusual grammar in English in which 'try and V' is considered a single word. Example in a is considered grammatical while those in b-e are ungrammatical.

a.    Let me try and think of an example that isn't confidential.

b. * I tried and think of an example that isn't confidential.

c. * I have tried and think of an example that isn't confidential.

d. * She tries and think(s) of an example that isn't confidential.

e. * I am trying and think(ing) of an example that isn't confidential.

The Charterhouse of Parma [AudiobookThe Charterhouse of Parma [Audiobook

The Charterhouse of Parma is a novel published in 1839 by Stendhal.
While in some respects it is a "romantic thriller", interwoven with intrigue and adventures, the novel is also an exploration of human nature, psychology, and court politics.
The novel is cited as an early example of realism, a stark contrast to the Romantic style popular while Stendhal was writing. It is considered by many authors to be a truly revolutionary work; Honoré de Balzac considered it the most significant novel of his time, Tolstoy was heavily influenced by Stendhal's treatment of the Battle of Waterloo and his own version of the Battle of Borodino is a central part of his novel War and Peace.
