This course is designed for students who intend to specialise in the study of English grammar. It deals in detail with selected topics such as the NP, complementation

of  verbs and adjectives in modern English, adverbial usage, pro-forms, theme and rhyme, sentence types and discourse functions, and the semantic and syntactic

functions of coordination and subordination. The analytical framework to be used will be the one adopted by the Quirk grammars and studies based on the

International Corpus of English (ICE).
