Elbaum‚ Sandra. 2001. Grammar in Context 3rd ed. Boston: Heinle & Heinle Publishers. Grammar in Context by Sandra N. Elbaum is an interesting approach to teaching grammar.

In order for a text to engage a student it must be interesting and relevant to their lives. I think Grammar in Context could be effective

generative grammar refers to a particular approach to the study of syntax. A generative grammar of a language attempts to give a set of rules that will correctly predict which combinations of words will form grammatical sentences. In most approaches to generative grammar‚ the rules will also predict the morphology of a sentence.[citation needed] Generative grammar arguably originates in the work of Noam Chomsky‚ beginning in the late 1950s.

those syntax trees to semantic processing routines. The semantic processing is free to make many passes over the syntax trees‚ even though the parser makes only one bottom-to-top traversal of the parse tree. Exercise 6.6 of the text contains a grammar that describes binary trees where each node of the tree has an integer label. It discusses an ordering requirement that is the same one required by binary search trees. Solve that exercise. Solved in class using synthesized attributes. Think about
