Synopsis
Excerpt from Grammar and Thinking: A Study of the Working Conceptions in Syntax
Conceptions of fact, has become a Babel in which even so staple a construction as he is good can be found described in nine different ways. The situation has indeed called out, both here and abroad, a propaganda of reform; and a British Joint Committee has already offered a scheme of harmonised nomenclature. But the discussions upon this movement make it increasingly clear that questions of terminology must be approached through a fresh appraisal of the notions that our terms presuppose. Such an appraisal this little book aims to formulate. I address it to teachers and serious learners in both classical and modern language-study, who would follow the ideas they work with into their back ground of psychology and logic.

Product Description
Excerpt from Grammar and Thinking: A Study of the Working Conceptions in Syntax Grammar, philosophically studied, is akin to the deepest metaphysics, because in revealing the constitution of speech it reveals the constitution of thought, and the hierarchy of those categories by which we conceive the world. It cannot be a matter of indifference to us to note, above the seeming chance that governs the words and forms of language, the appearance of laws corresponding in each case to an advance of the mind.
