Event
HomeStop Making Sentences!
Saturday, April 21st, 2001, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Speaker: Michael Guest, Miyazaki Medical College
It has often been said that there is no such thing as a sentence in speech. Yet teachers and classroom texts still place an inordinate amount of focus on using sentences to teach spoken English. Using authentic samples of spoken English, this presentation will demonstrate why sentences are often unnecessary in spoken discourse and how a fixation upon sentences can actually impede communication.
