Sentence Complexity in Academic Written English: A Syntactic Study with a Diachronic Perspective (1904 - 2005)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This book is a contribution to research into the analysis of academic English. It focuses on concrete evidence of change in the syntactic structure of sentences and sentence complexity over a period of about a century. It analyses academic texts from thefields of psychology and economics. Unlike most current research into academic English which focuses on selective syntactic issues, this book offers analyses of stretches of continuous running texts and categorises every explicitly expressed finite andnon-finite predication which occurs in them. The detailed examination of these texts and especially the diachronic perspective which the study adopts reveal and pinpoint some discernible trends in the modes of expression of current academic English. Thefindings indicate that current academic prose is less complex and more impersonal than a hundred years ago and shows a tendency towards a non-finite mode of expression. Non-finite clauses are used not only instead of hypotactically but al
