What is Not in Grammar Books?
Original language description
Traditional grammar reference books usually list different kinds of finite and non-finite clauses and consider the functions these clauses perform in sentences. However, they do not usually point out that in written English both kinds of clauses are equally important and that learners of English should not only recognize and understand finite and non-finite clauses, but also produce them correctly. This paper contemplates the treatment of finite/non-finite clauses in a selection of grammar books. Moreover, it summarizes the results of diachronic research into written English which indicates that in contemporary English non-finite clauses are becoming increasingly prominent. The paper considers possible reasons for this developmental trend and argues that careful attention should be paid to these structures by the authors of books for advanced learners of English.
