The Mother Tongue: Paperback: Forgotten Books: 9781330093696: 27 Sep 2015: Excerpt from The Mother Tongue: An Elementary English Grammar The purpose of this book is to set forth the elements of English grammar in their relation to thought and the expression of thought. This object has been the guiding principle in the selection of material, in the treatment of forms and constructions, and in the fashioning of the very numerous illustrative exercises.

Excerpt from The Mother Tongue: An Elementary English Grammar The purpose of this book is to set forth the elements of English grammar in their relation to thought and the expression of thought. This object has been the guiding principle in the selection of material, in the treatment of forms and constructions, and in the fashioning of the very numerous illustrative exercises. The Introduction explains in simple language certain general conceptions too often ignored in the study of grammar: the nature of language, its relation to thought and to style, the processes which affect its growth and decay, the province of grammar, and the relation of grammar to usage. These chapters are intended to be read aloud in the class room by the pupils or by the teacher and to serve as the basis for informal discussion. The pupil should not be allowed to study them mechanically. Above all things, he should not try to learn them by heart. The main principles which they embody are summed up on pages xxi-xxii. The Grammar is divided into two Parts. Part I (pp. 1-118) treats of the Sentence and its Elements. The subject is developed in a natural order, beginning with the sentence in its simplest form. A brief account of the Parts of Speech is introduced in order to make the structure of the sentence intelligible, but their inflection and further classification are left for Part II. The Complements are treated on pages 69-90, after the pupil has become familiar with Modifiers. Clauses are next discussed. A chapter on Elliptical Sentences comes last.
