Grammatikhandböcker

För att kunna undervisa om texter, skrivande och språk är det viktigt att du som lärare förstår vad en text är och hur vi med språkets hjälp kan formulera innehåll och budskap på olika sätt. I den här boken beskriver författaren hur språk och texter fungerar sett utifrån den systemisk-funktionella grammatikens (SFG) analysmodell så som den tillämpas inom den s.k. Sydneyskolan med språkvetaren Michael Halliday som frontfigur. En central utgångspunkt är att SFG systematiserar språket utifrån betydelse och inte utifrån form. Det betyder i sin tur att teorin besvarar frågor om vilken effekt ett visst språkligt val ger och hur detta val förhåller sig till textens genre.I boken får du lära dig hur kommunikationen mellan texten och läsaren fungerar, hur vi kan använda språket för att förmedla erfarenheter och hur informationen organiseras i språket. Med hjälp av textexempel diskuterar författaren teorin ur olika perspektiv, och i slutet av varje kapitel får du tips på hur du kan tillämpa kunskaperna som boken ger dig i din undervisning. Boken är skriven som en inkörsport till SFG och riktar sig främst till lärarstudenter och lärare i svenska och svenska som andraspråk.

Varför måste jag känna till skillnaden mellan huvudverb och hjälp­verb? Varför ska jag lära mig se vad som är objekt i en sats? När har jag någon glädje av att kunna skilja på huvudsats och bisats? Jo, med dessa kunskaper blir inlärningen av ett främmande språk mycket enklare.I Svensk grammatik presenteras och förklaras de grundläggande grammatiska termerna och begreppen. I speciella ”flaggrutor” ges exempel från engelskan, franskan, spanskan och tyskan som konkret visar varför man måste behärska det aktuella momentet för att behärska grammatiken i det främmande språket. Ibland gäller detta bara ett av språken, ibland två eller flera.

Språkriktighetsboken är en modern, utförlig och resonerande handbok i språkriktighetsfrågor. Den tar upp de vanligaste och viktigaste språkriktighetsfrågorna i svenskan. Här hittar man moderna klassiker som valet mellan större än mig eller större än jag; före eller innan, sin eller hans. Men också nyare språkriktighetsfrågor tas upp, till exempel ofullständiga meningar, kommer att resa eller kommer resa, könsneutrala pronomen och satsradningar. Språkriktighetsboken ger rekommendationer om hur man lämpligen formulerar sig, men rymmer också en utförlig diskussion kring varje språkriktighetsfråga. Läsaren får alltså mer än bara ett skrivråd. Boken förmedlar också kunskaper som gör det möjligt att ta aktiv del i språkriktighetsdiskussioner och självständigt ta ställning. Boken vänder sig till lärare, studenter, informatörer, journalister, redaktörer - ja, till alla som arbetar aktivt med svenskt skriftspråk. Boken är också lämplig som kursbok på universitetens grundkurser i svenska.

An indispensable companion for readers, writers, and even casual users of the language, the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Kingsley Amis's The King's English features a new introduction by Martin Amis.The King's English is Kingsley Amis's authoritative and witty guide to the use and abuse of the English language. A scourge of illiteracy and a thorn in the side of pretension, Amis provides indispensable advice about the linguistic blunders that lie in wait for us, from danglers and four-letter words to jargon and even Welsh rarebit. If you have ever wondered whether it's acceptable to start a sentence with 'and', to boldly split an infinitive, or to cross your sevens in the French style, Amis has the answer - or a trenchant opinion. By turns reflective, acerbic and provocative, The King's English is for anyone who cares about how the English language is used.Kingsley Amis (1922-1995), born in London, wrote poetry, criticism, and short stories, but is best remembered as the novelist whose works offered a comic deconstruction of post-war Britain. Amis explored his disillusionment with British society in novels such as Lucky Jim (1954) and That Uncertain Feeling (1955); his other works include The Green Man (1970) Stanley and the Women (1984), and The Old Devils (1986) which won the Booker Prize.If you enjoyed The King's English you might like Amis's Lucky Jim, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'A terrific book ... learned, robust, aggressive, extremely funny'Sebastian Faulks
