Geography Vocabulary Practice Book

The book comprises  an extensive word list with definitions, example sentences and space for the students to add a translation  if they wish. This leads into a ‘Working with words’ section, where the students complete spider grams, label illustrations and match words and pictures, etc. This is followed by ‘Working with sentences’, where the students manipulate the target vocabulary at sentence level. Then, finally, ‘Working with texts’ puts the words in wider contexts and gives the students practice with longer chunks of discourse.

Fusing insights from cognitive grammar, systemic-functional grammar and Government & Binding, the present work elaborates and refines Davidse’s view that the English grammar of lexical causatives is governed by the transitive and ergative paradigms, two distinct models of causation (Davidse 1991, 1992). However, on the basis of extensive synchronic and diachronic data on verbs of killing (e.g. kill, execute, choke or drown), it is shown that ‘transitivity’ and ‘ergativity’ are not absolute but prototypical characteristics of verbs which may be overruled by the semantics of the construal in which they occur.
