This book provides an introduction to the syntactic analysis of English sentences, distinguishing carefully and consistently between function on the one hand and form on the other.

The material here presented has been used and tested in university and business school classrooms in Denmark, England and America.

The authors are themselves natives of all three countries: Denmark (Carl Bache and Fritz Larsen), England (Mike Davenport) and America (John Dienhart). All the authors have been (or currently are) teachers of English at Odense University in Denmark.

´An Introduction to English Sentence Analysis is a careful, absorbing, and highly useful book.´ - Niels Davidsen-Nielsen, professor of English at the Copenhagen Business School
