Perkins, Chris – Englisch, 1979
Laments the neglect of punctuation in English courses, even in university-preparatory schools. Emphasizes the greater importance that punctuation has in English than in German. Illustrates, with example sentences, the interference of the native language and shows how using or omitting a comma can change the meaning of a sentence. (IFS/WGA)
