Grammar Reference

[Amanda Owen Van Horne]

My favorite supplement is

The Syntax Handbook: Everything You Learned About Syntax but Forgot
by Laura M. Justice; Helen K.; Ph.D. Ezell
Publisher: Super Duper Publications; 3rd edition (November 20, 2001)
ISBN-13: 978-1888222807

It does an excellent job of covering the material and providing
examples/exercises. If you're a linguist some of the terms will be
more like what you might have learned when you diagramed sentences
(e.g. what I call a complement clause, the book calls a nominal
clause). But generally the only thing I have to do is point out to the
students that these are really the same thing and it all works out
fine.   It also has a page or two at the end of each chapter on why
this relates to child language/when children tend to acquire the
structures discussed in the chapter.  I keep two or three copies in
the lab for students' to use.
