The distribution of impersonal-subject clauses 330 $aThe approach to language and grammar that motivates this book is unabashedly functional; grammar is not just a system of empty rules, it is a means to an end, an instrument for constructing concise coherent communication. In grammar as in music, good expression rides on good form. Figuratively and literally, grammar like musical form must make sense. But for the instrument to serve its purpose, it must first exist; the rules must be real, they can be explicitly described and taught. This book is intended for both students and teachers, at college level, for both native and nonnative speakers. 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar. 676 $a428.2 700 $aGivo?n$b Talmy$f1936-$0386338 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790201903321 996 $aEnglish grammar$91256517 997 $aUNINA
