The Analysis Of The English Sentence With Supplement

Excerpt from The Analysis of the English Sentence With Supplement It is intended that this little book shall tell its own story. It is denied that Grammar should be a discussion of only the forms of language. To ignore meanings and relations of meanings as expressed by language forms is to rob this most useful branch of all but the most absolutely voluntary interest. It is argued by many prominent educators, that to carry grammar studies into the realm of thought is to encroach upon the province of logic. But is that a valid argument against considering thought in grammar studies? The unit of language study is the sentence. The purpose of logic is to discuss the reasoning process, to secure correct reasoning, - and the unit of reasoning is the syllogism. Grammar studies the notion and the judgment, and ends in the expression of the judgment, that is, the sentence. Logic studies the notion and the judgment that it may prepare for the clear grasp of the reasoning process, which process finds its expression in the syllogism.

Clausal connection is one of the key building blocks of language and thus a field where a wide range of syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and cognitive phenomena meet. The availability of large databases as well as considerable advances in corpus-linguistic methods have strengthened the interest in the history of features linking clauses or larger chunks of text. The papers in this volume combine a thorough corpus-based analysis of the history of individual connectives, their co-occurrence patterns, and patterns of variation and change from both intra- and inter-systemic perspectives with a variety of methodological tools, ranging from sophisticated methods of grammatical analysis to pragmatics, text linguistics and discourse analysis. Drawing on quantitatively and qualitatively improved data, the studies reconstruct the history of a wide range of connectives in English from various new theoretical perspectives.
