We Should Rehabilitate 'Excepting'.
Chiu-ming, Li; Ching-hua, Hsi
English Language Teaching Journal, v35 n4 p427-28 Jul 1981
Briefly explains definition and use of "excepting" in English and concludes the reputation of "excepting" should be rehabilitated to be used as a preposition when it is interchangeable with "except" or as a quasi-preposition preceded by "not,""without," or "always" and not replaceable by "except."
