You don’t have to read long novelsin thisc ourse — no Middlemarch or War and Peace. There isn’t much memorization either. It should be enough if you become familiar with the keywords at the end of each chapter (use the glossary, but don’t overemphasize the importance of terminology). The focus is on arguments, exercises, and tree drawing. [+/-]
You need to do this from the first week on, however, and you may also have to read a chapter more than once. The course is not particularly difficult but once you get lost, go for help! The book isdi vided in four parts, with review sectionsaft er each. Chapter 1 is the introduction; skip the ‘justification’ if you want.
The chapters in this book cover ‘standard’ material: categories, phrases, functions, and embedded sentences. There are a few sections that the author has labelled optional, since, depending on the course, they may be too complex. The last chapter could either be skipped or expanded upon, depending on whether it is appropriate to introduce S or CP.
