| Research Abstract |
This project offers a new perspective to the teaching of English grammar in a time when current teaching objectives center on the development of communication abilities. By investigating the characteristics of unplanned speech, mostly derived from TV and radio dramas, films, and broadcast news, this research shows that grammar for spoken language differs from traditional grammar, which is supposedly based on the analysis of written language. The project also provides four linguistic features that can be extensively observed in authentic spoken English.
