NCTE’s Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar
provides this much-needed resource for K–college teachers who wonder
what to do about grammar—how to teach it, how to apply it, how to learn
what they themselves were never taught. Grammar Alive! offers
teachers ways to negotiate the often conflicting goals of testing,
confident writing, the culturally inclusive classroom, and the teaching
of Standard English while also honoring other varieties of English.
This hands-on approach to grammar in the classroom includes numerous
examples and practical vignettes describing real teachers’ real
classroom experiences with specific grammar lessons—including ESL
issues—as well as a review of grammar basics.
Volume 34 of Syntax and Semantics is a thorough and accessible overview and introduction to Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), a theory of the content and representation of different aspects of linguistic structure and the relations that hold between them. The book motivates and describes the two syntactic structures of LFG: surface phrasal organization is represented by a context-free phrase structure tree, and more abstract functional syntactic relations like subject and object are represented separately, at functional structure.
Instead of abstract theory and examples, this book features practice, practice, practice. This
is the second level in a 4-book series that stresses grammar in action,
with numerous exercises presented in real-life situations and settings.
Beginning/intermediate grammar learners. GrammarWork,
