Diagramming sentences…a beautiful, beautiful thing. I thought I knew how until I read this wonderful little book. Florey diagrams a Henry James sentence! It’s exquisite. The sentence below, needless to say, is not it…

The “time flies” diagram is fabulous! When I first looked at it, I thought it was completely wrong. After three readings, though, I finally had an aha moment.

I love diagrams! Any diagrams will do, and I too love the look of a diagrammed sentence, both in a linguistical and visual sense. Now I have to get this book!
