图书作者:Adrian Wallwork 图书标题:English for Research Usage, Style, and Grammar出版社:springer出版日期:2013Who is this book for? This book is aimed at anyone who writes research papers, whose first language is not English, and who needs guidance regarding the grammar,usage, and style of academic English. It should also be useful for those who edit or proofread research papers.It is suitable for those whose level of English is mid intermediate or higher.
How is the book organized? The book is organized into 28 chapters on various aspects of English usage. This means that in the same chapter you will fi nd all issues related to, for example, the use of tenses. However, some grammatical items are separated for convenience. For example, you will fi nd the use of adverbs in three different sections: Chapter 13 deals with how adverbs are used as link words, Chapter 14 with typical differences between the various adverbs of time and place, and Chapter 17 with where adverbs are located within a phrase. In each subsection, you will fi rst fi nd numbered guidelines. When there are four or more rules, the last few rules are generally the least important. In the table below the guidelines, there are examples of sentences that implement (or fail to implement) the rules. Good and bad examples are contained in the columns of the table entitled ‘Yes’ and ‘No’, respectively. The ‘No’ examples indicate typical mistakes taken from drafts of real papers. Most of the ‘Yes’ examples have been adapted from sentences written by native English speakers. Sometimes in alternative to ‘Yes’ and ‘No’, one column is devoted to how one word or tense is used, and the other to how a related word or tense is used. There is an index at the end of the book to help you fi nd the particular grammar or style issue that you wish to review.
