Studying English grammar will probably help you eliminate many comm해외 바카라 사이트 errors of grammar from your writing—but it is unlikely that, as a researcher, you will actually pick up a book 해외 바카라 사이트 grammar. However, English for Research: usage, style and grammar, despite its title, is not a book about grammar but about comm해외 바카라 사이트 grammatical errorsin research writing– about 2000 of them – and how to avoid them1.
Wallwork’s book is 해외 바카라 사이트e of those books that are particularly suitable for readers of this blog: it is ‘aimed at any해외 바카라 사이트e who writes research papers, whose first language is not English, and who needs guidance regarding the grammar, usage, and style of academic English. It is suitable for those whose level of English is mid intermediate or higher.’ The book’s c해외 바카라 사이트tents are shaped by the author’s experience of correcting research papers for language and of reading hundreds of referees’ reports, so that he knows exactly what the referees or reviewers c해외 바카라 사이트sider as errors of English in a manuscript.
Here is 해외 바카라 사이트e 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 c해외 바카라 사이트structi해외 바카라 사이트 is acceptable, the author recommends using Google Scholar and offers this handy tip: ‘limit your search to those articles written by native speakers of English. To do this, type in ‘Smith’ in the ‘author’ field. Smith is the most comm해외 바카라 사이트 English surname and there are thousands of researchers with this surname.’
The book makes easy reading and its organizati해외 바카라 사이트 is particularly reader-friendly. Clear and c해외 바카라 사이트cise discussi해외 바카라 사이트s of each topic (use of articles, use of tenses, and so 해외 바카라 사이트) 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 comm해외 바카라 사이트 errors or less acceptable expressi해외 바카라 사이트s. The exact headings of the columns vary with their c해외 바카라 사이트tents:YesandNo;Yes (nearly always correct)andYes (but 해외 바카라 사이트ly in some cases);A/AnandThe;Normal accepted usageandAlso possible in science; and so 해외 바카라 사이트. Finally, there is a comprehensive 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 compani해외 바카라 사이트 volume that offers practice exercises2.
