Extract

English Reference Grammar for Polish Students or shortly Polish English Grammar (PEG) is a pedagogical contrastive grammar. It is written on contrastive principles and is based on the results of investigations conducted by a team of Polish linguists within the Polish-English Contrastive Project, sponsored by Center for Applied Linguistics at Arlington, Virginia and the Polish Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education. The Project is managed by Professor Jacek Fisiak, Director of the Institute of English Studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. Two volumes of the studies have already been published and two more are in preparation. (Fisiak 1973, 1974). The studies are conducted in the theoretical framework of generative transformational grammar, covering the most recent developments of the theory, without priority given to any specific version of the theory. Case grammar, generative semantics, extended standard theory, natural phonology, natural generative grammar and even language-in-the-context versions are all considered in the studies. Being basically theoretically oriented, the Project is not directly applicable in pedagogical practice, although a considerable amount of work is also being done along the didactic lines.
