Since this is my first time here, I may not be perfectly clear, but I'll try:
English is not my native language, but having studied it somewhat, I like to understand quite clearly what I read, so could someone please parse the following from Ch. 9 of M.Dick:
Quote:Father Mapple rose, and in a mild voice...ordered the...people to condense. Starboard gangway, there! side away to larboard - larboard gangway to starboard...
I mean I understand the meaning pretty well, but I'd like to know the part of speech especially of the word
side in this place.
Thanks!
