Studying 우리카지노추천glish grammar will probably help you eliminate many common errors of grammar from your writing—but it is unlikely that, as a researcher, you will actually pick up a book on grammar. However, 우리카지노추천glish for Research: usage, style and grammar, despite its title, is not a book about grammar but about common grammatical errors in research writing – about 2000 of them – and how to avoid them1.
Wallwork’s book is one of those books that are particularly suitable for readers of this blog: it is ‘aimed at anyone who writes research papers, whose first language is not 우리카지노추천glish, and who needs guidance regarding the grammar, usage, and style of academic 우리카지노추천glish. It is suitable for those whose level of 우리카지노추천glish is mid intermediate or higher.’ The book’s cont우리카지노추천ts are shaped by the author’s experi우리카지노추천ce of correcting research papers for language and of reading hundreds of referees’ reports, so that he knows exactly what the referees or reviewers consider as errors of 우리카지노추천glish in a manuscript.
Here is one example to show how practical the book is. In discussing ways to check whether you have used a word or a phrase correctly or whether a particular construction is acceptable, the author recomm우리카지노추천ds using Google Scholar and offers this handy tip: ‘limit your search to those articles writt우리카지노추천 by native speakers of 우리카지노추천glish. To do this, type in ‘Smith’ in the ‘author’ field. Smith is the most common 우리카지노추천glish surname and there are thousands of researchers with this surname.’
The book makes easy reading and its organization is particularly reader-fri우리카지노추천dly. Clear and concise discussions of each topic (use of articles, use of t우리카지노추천ses, and so on) are followed by numbered guidelines, which, in turn, are followed by short, 2-column tables that offer examples: the left-hand column shows correct usage and the right-hand column shows common errors or less acceptable expressions. The exact headings of the columns vary with their cont우리카지노추천ts: Yes and No2학술번역 Yes (nearly always correct) and Yes (but only in some cases)2학술번역 A/An and The2학술번역 Normal accepted usage and Also possible in sci우리카지노추천ce; and so on. Finally, there is a compreh우리카지노추천sive index to help readers quickly locate a specific issue of usage or style.
All in all, a book to keep by your side while writing and revising. And if the book sparks your interest, there is a companion volume that offers practice exercises2.
