Perspectives on Linguistic Structure and Context

%E Stacey Katz Bourns %E Lindsy L. Myers %X

In this tribute to Knud Lambrecht, a pioneer of Information Structure, a diverse group of scholars examines the intersection of syntax, discourse, pragmatics, and semantics. The six chapters in the first section of the volume consider issues of grammar with new theoretical and applied insights, pertaining to grammatical constructions such as left dislocation, unaccusatives, null complements, and passives. While the first half of the book presents studies involving a range of languages from Russian to Irish to Italian, the second section is dedicated to papers focused on French. These five chapters feature the application of Construction Grammar and/or Information Structure frameworks to prosody and second language processing, as well as to several distinctive spoken French constructions: clefts, left dislocations, and interrogatives. Collectively, this book offers substantial reading for those interested in the juncture of structure and context, notably a critical take on the important legacy of a preeminent linguist.

The handbook presents grammar rules in a detailed yet concise manner so students can learn to create language and develop greater awareness of language and comprehension in different contexts. Instructors may use the handbook as a supplement to the materials they are already using or students may use it as a self-guide. %I Cengage %G eng %0 Book Section %B In Conceptions of L2 Grammar: Theoretical Approaches and their Application in the L2 Classroom %D 2008 %T What is Grammar? %A Stacey L.

Practice includes, but is not limited to, articulation, assessment, classroom culture, curriculum and materials development, and teacher education. In keeping with the mission of AAUSC, it is our goal to present a wide variety of languages and perspectives, and a broad range of scholars and practitioners. %7 AAUSC’s Issues in Language Program Direction annual series %I Cengage %C Boston %G eng %0 Book Section %B In From Thought to Action: Exploring Beliefs and Outcomes in the Foreign Language Program %D 2007 %T TA’s and Grammar Teaching: Beliefs, Knowledge, and Education %A Stacey L.

Katz %A Carl Blyth %X “Something needs to be done about grammar.” Katz and Blyth have written this book with the hope of changing the way French instructors teach and conceive of grammar. Intended to help teachers and teacher trainers develop an understanding of French discourse that is grounded in recent theoretical and sociolinguistic research, this book is devoted to informing teachers-in-training, as well as experienced teachers, about cutting-edge methods for teaching grammar. It also describes the grammatical features of the French language in its social context. At the same time, it provides suggestions for applying such abstract knowledge in practical pedagogical ways, for example, how to structure grammatical explanations, devise classroom activities, and take advantage of resources that give students greater exposure to French as it is truly used in various discourse environments. %I ale University Press %G eng %0 Book Section %B Modern Language Journal %D 2005 %T Toward an Understanding of the Role of Applied Linguists in Foreign Language Departments %A Stacey L.
