Why does grammar make everyone so nervous? Probably because English teachers, for decades – no, for centuries – have been making a big deal out of grammar in classrooms, diagramming sentences and drilling the parts of speech, clauses, and verbals into students until they beg for mercy. Happily, you don't have to learn all those technical terms of English grammar – and you certainly don't have to diagram sentences – in order to speak and write correct English.
So rest assured – English Grammar For Dummies will probably never make your English teacher's top-ten list of must-read books, because you won't have to diagram a single sentence. What you will discover are fun and easy strategies that can help you when you're faced with such grammatical dilemmas as the choice between "I" and "me," "had gone" and "went," and "who" and "whom." With English Grammar For Dummies, you won't have to memorize a long list of meaningless rules (well, maybe a couple in the punctuation chapter!), because when you understand the reason for a particular word choice, you'll pick the correct word automatically.
English Grammar For Dummies covers many other topics as well, such as the following:
* Verbs, adjectives, and adverbs – oh my!
* Preposition propositions and pronoun pronouncements
* Punctuation: The lowdown on periods, commas, colons, and all those other squiggly marks
* Possession: It's nine-tenths of grammatical law
* Avoiding those double negative vibes
* How to spice up really boring sentences (like this one)
* Top Ten lists on improving your proofreading skills and ways to learn better grammar
Just think how improving your speaking and writing skills will help you in everyday situations, such as writing a paper for school, giving a presentation to your company's big wigs, or communicating effectively with your family. You will not only gain the confidence in knowing you're speaking or writing well, but you'll also make a good impression on those around you!

Type-Theoretical Grammar

File type: Rar'd PDF
Constructive type theory was first presented in 1970 by Swedish logician Per Martin-Lof. Since then, it has become one of the main approaches in the foundations of mathematics and computer science. However, although it provides a considerable extension of the concepts and techniques of logic, it remains relatively unknown among linguists and philosophers. This work presents constructive type theory from the point of view of linguistics and the philosophy of ********, introducing its valuable approach to those in areas in which it has remained unfamiliar. The theory is then applied to quantification, anaphora, temporal reference, and the structures of text and discourse. Various phenomena of dependence and progression are discussed in the light of concepts of proof object and *******, and the solutions to several well-known problems are discussed.
