I am about to write a contrastive study about clauses of reasoning in Arabic and English. I can not find enough resources related to the topic in English .. Hope you can advise me of some .. Thank you
To my knowledge, English grammar books do not provide much insight into reasoning in written English. In addition, some English grammar books are simply too long and the grammar rules are, many times, simply bewildering. If you need a concise book on English grammar, let me suggest: Leo Hamalian, Frederick R. Karl; Everything You Need To Know About Grammar; Fawcett Crest Book published by Ballantine Books; 1978. On the other hand, books on logic do analyze the reasoning that is intrinsic to written and spoke English, see, for example: Irving M. Copi, Carl Cohen, Kenneth McMahon; Introduction to Logic, 14th Edition; Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Prentice Hall; 2011. The study of reasoning has its roots in the study of language since language preceded the formal subject and study of logic.
Thanks for answering my question. I think I will depend on Tom's answer as I need books to document rather than videos.
In Arabic, there is a variety of forms and expressions related to this aspect of language but I think in English it is a little bit limited since not many expressions are used for the purpose of forming clauses of reason.
