Books and grammar method information

The books and the grammar method have not ever been sponsored or corroborated by any government, organization, or individual; they have not solicited and will never require any experiments. The method and the books reflect on the author’s own language acquisition and learning to include graduated university studies in linguistics and American English. The grammar began as Teresa Pelka’s spontaneous invention when she was a child, in early 1970s. Part 4 of the series has the bibliography to have come with her further learning.

Regarding disputes and controversies over Aristotle’s works, Teresa Pelka does not endorse most translations or renditions. Aristotle lived circa 384 BC ― 322 BC. There are no autographs, that is, original manuscripts of his work preserved. Existent versions are used in this book series selectively, and for thought exercise strictly.

I do not believe a human being would belong geographically on Earth because he or she speaks such and such a language. I believe a human being is naturally capable of cognitively mapping among language structures.

Part 2 language form relativity has nothing to do with ■Whorfianism. It is an observation that language forms as “if I were” refer to the PRESENT though their shape is PAST. The phenomenon occurs in English as well as Polish, Russian, French, and other languages,
if I was, si j’étais, gdybym był/a, если бы я был/а, wäre ich, etc.

Part 3 of the journey continues the generative endeavor for the article, noun, adjective, adverb, and preposition. The work uses US civics, as the knowledge is useful, and the texts are syntactically rich.

It is not the purpose to criticize the founding documents, and Teresa Pelka’s Internet Archive account has spellcheck clean, free posters, ■archive.org/details/@teresapelka. She has done all the update with phrasings contained elsewhere in the same set of founding documents.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Part 4 tells about the phrase, the clause, time and discourse —  to embrace Reported Speech and the Passive, as well as vocabulary and pronunciation tips, also for people who feel strong in other tongues: it is not true their English must have a prominent foreign accent.

Select Emily Dickinson and Carl Sandburg are to encourage learner semantics and figurative comprehension.
Teresa Pelka’s edition and translation of Emily Dickinson’s first print is available from her Internet Archive account as well. Her work on translation of Carl Sandburg’s Cornhuskers in progress, for the Public Domain as well, as the grammar course is not intended to incur any extra expenditure.

The same grammar is available in a Slavic tongue, Polish; feel welcome to ■Netlog gramatyczny; translation by the author, Teresa Pelka. Years of learning and study, along with thought of a cognitive grammar have resulted in her working the grammar in English throughout.

Speaking and writing without translation from another tongue is generally natural and possible in people. Feel welcome to the ■Mind practice.

The American English course consists of four parts. In entirety, there comes along another framework, for flectional languages. The framework looks to ancient Latin and Greek, modern German and French, and proposes cognitive variables that could be used also for Polish, Russian, or other flectional tongues.

The two frameworks, ■syntactic and ■flectional, may help work towards particular generative grammars for many natural languages. The flectional is not a course for any particular tongue. It began with the author bringing in own head, the generative approach for English to terms with her grammar for Polish.

Understandably, there has been much suspicion nowadays about brain experiments. The grammar has absolutely no experimental content, and the author, Teresa Pelka, never has participated in any brain experimentation. The work is only her own learning experience.

The grammar does not encourage experimentation, either. It offers cognitive variables, but it does not prescribe on how to use them. It gives freedom and choice where classic grammar would force rules, whereas to have an experiment, there has to be a prescribed routine. The grammar thus never has never used experiments and it does not encourage them.

Teresa Pelka’s only use of experimental data belongs with her defended Master’s thesis, ■The Role of Feedback in Language Processing, where Teresa Pelka names all sources, and those all remain public and legal. The experiments quoted did not and do not look forced trials: they bring in acquisition of routines or financial arguments, in books long acknowledged.

Teresa Pelka’s specialization is ■philology and psycholinguistics. In these fields, conclusive and valid linguistic material may only come with spontaneous language use. The English grammar course here uses the American corpus, ■COCA. Teresa Pelka is also a human translator and naturally has no interest in improving Artificial Intelligence; feel welcome to ■publicdomaintranslation.com.
