Lectures on Language, as Particularly Connected with English Grammar.

"Lectures on Language, as Particularly Connected with English Grammar" by William Stevens Balch is an exploration that seeks to revolutionize language instruction, especially in English. Penned in the 1800s, the book emphasizes why language and grammar are important in communication, and education. The author wants teachers and learners to understand language's role in communication and education. Balch challenges conventional methods of teaching grammar, which he argues are boring and perplexing. Instead, he promotes a fresh perspective on language that relies on principles that show how people think and how they communicate. This introduction prepares readers to think differently about language and to be open to changes in how grammar is taught.
