Sentence Analysis By Diagram a Handbook for the Rapid, Review of English Syntax (Classic Reprint)

Diagramming is rather widely opposed, to-day simply because it used to be taught as an end in itself. But no device in the whole teaching of grammar proves more useful, if the teacher constantly bears in mind that it is only a means to another end. If the diagram method used is perfectly simple, transparent, and elastic, it will secure that moderate degree of uniformity necessary to the efficient teaching of classes, it will enable the pupil to visualize syntactical relations with extraordinary clearness, and in the analysis of sentences it will accomplish an enormous saving of time to both pupil and teacher. i.. Such a diagram method this Handbook ventures to offer, a method so entirely simple as to be merely a shorthand mode of analysis: if the student understands a given construction, he will have no difficulty in diagramming it.
