Analysis, Parsing, and Composition: Designed for Beginners. E-book. Formato PDF G. E. Lighthall   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The instructions are given in conversational form; and the aecom panying exercises are so arranged, that a lesson once learned, cannot be forgotten. As a guide to the analysis of sentences, a series of ques tions, the answers to which clearly indicate the office of each word; and a system of delineation, that will enable the student to dispose of each word as soon as its office has been determined, are introduced. In parsing, the delineations are also of great assistance but they should be discarded so soon as it is discovered that their use is no longer a necessity. The praxes for analyzing and parsing are kept entirely sepa rate; the paradigms are materially shortened; and the rules are made more general in their application, thus reducing their number. Numer ous exercises in composition and false syntax are also inserted through out the work, in order to give pupils a practical training, and to impress on their minds the importance of this study.
