- Hardcover
Broadway. Used; Very Good. Want your writing to sell, shock, or just sing? The acclaimed author of Wired Style presents a hip, real-world guide to the rules of grammar - and when to break them. <br /><br />Today's writers need more spunk than Strunk. Whether crafted for the Great American Novel, Madison Avenue advertising, or Grammy Award-winning rap lyrics, memorable writing must jump off the page. Now, from copy veteran Constance Hale comes a fun, informative, indispensable guide to taking your writing from ordinary to extraordinary. <br /><br />Sin and Syntax is more than just a style manual with examinations of sentence structure and parts of speech. In addition to spelling out the basic rules, Constance Hale teaches you when and how to effectively break them. Chock full of examples from traditional and nontraditional prose - from advertising jingles to song lyrics to literary classics - Sin and Syntax shows you why learning to "sin" will make you a better writer. Discover how to: <br /><br />Distinguish between words that are "pearls" and words that are "potatoes" <br />Innovate with adjectives to avoid cliches <br />Avoid "couch potato thinking" and "com-mitment phobia" when choosing verbs <br />Use literary devices such as onomatopoeia, alliteration, and metaphor <br /><br />PLUS?You'll learn: <br /><br />How Rich Little boosted his comedy career with the perfected use of one particular interjection <br />Why Muhammad Ali's syntactically surprising speech worked as well as his jabs <br />Which famous opening line from American literature contains no subject whatsoever <br /><br />A perfect display of Hale's own literary principles, Sin and Syntax, with its clear, crisp, modern approach to style, will be an essential guide for all those who want to improve their command of the English language. . 1999.
