The author seemed to need to recreate the wheel on american english grammar. It was as if the word Conjugation might have been too wordy to use when she can make up her own word. Outside of that it was ok.
This book is packed with useful information. It's an easy read, provides excellent examples, and practice exercises. I refer back to it often to verify syntax form and function questions. It is a must have for anyone who speaks and writes the English language.
I had to purchase this book for a college course I was taking. Honestly, I don't even remember learning all of the syntax in this book when I was younger. There's a wealth of information here and each chapter has questions to test your understanding at the end. I particularly liked the use of examples that were given; they made the information much more easy to process and remember.
Needed this book for a class. It arrived in time for what I needed it for. It is in great condition and it is a great resource. If anyone is an SLP, or going to school for this....BUY THIS BOOK. Might be helpful to parents too for re-learning syntax to assist your kids with school. Makes it easy to navigate.
This book is geared toward budding Speech Therapists, and as a textbook it accomplishes its job. It is very clearly written and easy to follow. The reason It loses a star is that there were a few incorrect answers in the answer key, and I guess I just have a problem with that when it's a grammar text. I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my answers were wrong until I could clear things up with my professor.
This book is VERY well written. If you're an undergraduate or a graduate student going into the Speech and Language field, purchase this book before you take any courses in Language Transcripts and Analyses. This book will make your life so much easier. The bases to understanding the language transcripts that are used in early intervention and learning the program SALT, is knowledge of syntax. This book does an amazing job at preparing you for the more in-depth conversations about disordered speech you will have in your program. I would also recommend using this text as a reference guide when doing observations.
I have referred to this over and over. Very useful. Clearly laid out. Accessible language. They even have some fun.
