Foreword

The book is meant for the full-time and part-time students if the senior courses of the University Philology Department who major in English. The book is intended as a theoretical aid to supplement the course in Theoretical English Grammar which forms part of the curriculum for the university foreign languages faculty.

The aim of the book is to activate students knowledge in theoretical grammar, to help them to apply their knowledge in linguistic studies, to undertake independent analysis of language phenomena at the morphemic, morphological and syntactical levels.

The book contains the plans of the seminar classes, theoretical material, which gives the necessary information on the questions discussed at the seminars, and practical assignments aimed at deepening the students knowledge in morphology and syntax and improving their linguistic and communicative competence.

The book deals with the following theoretical questions:

principles of classification of parts of speech in English;

grammatical categories of the notional parts of speech (the noun, the verb, the adjective);

morphological structure of English nouns, verbs and adjectives;

syntactic functions of notional parts of speech;

communicative and structural types of sentences;

structural pecularities of compound and complex sentences;

principal and secondary parts of the sentence;

types of adverbial and attributive clauses in English;

peculiar features of subject, object and predicative clauses in English.

The book also provides different exercises for all the topics treated at the seminars in Theoretical English Grammar that meet the requirements of the programme in this subject.

The following tasks are put before the students studying Theoretical English Grammar:

to define grammatical categories of parts of speech and their syntactical functions;

to make distinctions between different types of sentences;

to define the principal and the secondary of parts of the sentence;

to analyze the use of articles with nouns;

to comment on the syntactical functions of the non-finite forms of the verb;
