Advanced Grammar Roundtable Training
2 days, Lecture, 1.2 CEUs, $745
|
If you have ever spent half an hour researching whether e-mail can be used as a verb, if you remember diagramming sentences in school, if you took our Intensive Review of Grammar course and want more—this session is for you. If you are a grammar stickler or simply care about the English language, you'll find this intensive exploration of the finer points, inner structures, and logic behind grammar fun and energizing. Bring your problem sentences, your pet peeves, and your favorite grammar reference book. We will:
- Discuss various philosophies about grammar, the origins of grammar rules, and the case against "rule-based" grammar
- Diagram sentences
- Review grammar concepts as needed
- Examine particles, determiners, interrupters, and other useful ways to describe sentence structures
- Examine the difference between an absolute phrase and a descriptive one
- Research and put to rest old questions—but possibly leave with new ones
Prerequisite: Writing and/or editing experience.
