Foreword
Theoretical English grammar is considered by many students as one of the most difficult theoretical courses. It is the course that makes philological education complete and accomplished. Without doubt, it is a challenging course for students. First of all, the material the course surveys and draws upon is immense. Students have to understand and feel at ease discussing different approaches, arguments, and linguists’ contribution to English grammar. Secondly, theoretical grammar is a philosophy of language and its understanding is not an easy job. Students should be able to analyze facts of language, reflect on them and make judgments. Thirdly, this course incorporates facts and theories related to other theoretical subjects, as for example phonology, lexicology, stylistics, general linguistics. The next point, which sometimes also becomes a predicament for students, is the mastery of language and awareness of practical grammar that is the prerequisite for the course. No theoretical assumption can be recognized as grounded unless it has a sufficient empirical base. The list of challenges the course in Theoretical English grammar has for students may be further continued, but it may turn into a list of attractions as well.
The idea of this manual got its shape in the course of time. Teaching practice and lecturing experience were hammer and chisel when it came to deciding what made the bare necessities of the course and what was extra. The present course is focused on the major theoretical issues, significant approaches, breakthrough and insightful ideas. The manual embraces major topics of Theoretical English grammar that are considered essential for a philologist. Though the material of the manual does not contain everything the course in Theoretical English grammar is supposed to embrace, the teaching needs demanded the book appear as is. The aim of the manual is to help students see the logic of linguistic analysis undertaken on the material of English grammar and to apply these principles in their future studies.
The author is enormously indebted to colleagues without whose assistance this book would never have happened. Thanks are due to the reviewers of this book, Professor Tatiana M. Rogozhnikova and Professor Salavat Zh. Nukhov for their favourable reviews and friendly attitude. Grateful acknowledgement is made to Professor Rakhim Z. Muryasov, Dean of the School of Romance and Germanic Languages of Bashkir State University who in every possible way encourages all the efforts and creative activities of the faculty. In many matters, large and small, he has provided invaluable assistance, extraordinary competence, and immaculate expertise. Special thanks go to Professor Zulfira Z. Chanysheva who sets an example of passionate commitment and professionalism. I owe a special debt of gratitude to my teachers in Bashkir State University and the Maurice Torez Moscow State Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages who shared their illuminating ideas, scholarly experience, and profound knowledge with me and thus contributed to my education. Many generations of my students should also be given credit for helping me in framing and improving this course.
