In the middle of the Twentieth century J.L. Austin subjected language to a close and intense analysis. This book deals with his examination of the various things we do with words, comparing his work with that of more recent philosophers and social scientists. It shows that his work can still play a vital role in enhancing our understanding of language. It also deals with the philosophical insights that Austin believed could be gained by closely examining the uses of words by non-philosophers. The school of thought that Austin's name is usually linked with - 'ordinary language philosophy' - is often overlooked today.

The Student-Centered Classroom
A student-centered approach helps students to develop a "can-do" attitude. It is effective, motivating, and enjoyable. This booklet sets out to discuss how this approach can be implemented. It also deals with the problems that may arise.

The plan that has been followed in preparing this book is to carry the student's mind gradually forward from the more easy to the less easy, from the better known to the less known or the unknown. Accordingly, Part I. deals with "Modern English Grammar," covering the more familiar ground of Accidence, Analysis, Syntax, and Punctuation. Part II discusses the idiomatic uses of the different Parts of Speech, explaining these, when necessary, by reference to idioms that were in force in the earlier stages of our language. Part III deals solely with the subject of "Historical English and Derivation.""
The book is divided into three parts. The first deals with words, one of the smallest components of writing. The second deals with sentences, a larger component. The third deals with the largest components: paragraphs and the whole composition. An appendix contains check lists which you should consult before turning compositions in. Each of the parts is subdivided into units.
