SYNTAX

Haii pals me and my freind (Leila) had to show you how to make a sentence with good Tenses , but as you It’s not enough because you must know about  Syntax and Pharse Structure Rules. Again and again I bet you are wondering now, so let me not keep you waiting much longer and  let’ cheks it down.

SYNTAX

 

Syntax is the study of sentence structure. It’s also study of  how word patterns together in sentence.
syntax concerns sentence structure, and sentence stucture may be said to have three aspect : grouping, function, and word order. These three aspect of syntactic structure are all represented in a tree diagram of sentence. It is an exmple a tree diagram for the sentence The Kig of France had an unhappy life.

 

a.Grouping

Grouping is the gouping of word into meaningful andfunctional phrases, which are members, or constituents, of larger phrases. Grouping recognized in the above sentence itself (S), noun phrase (NP), verb phrae (VP), and prepostional phrase (PP).

b.Fuction

Fuctions concers the relationship of the noun phrase toto the verb and the other words and word groups in the sentences. There Are  three different  kinds of functions in the sentence above : grammatical relations, part of speech, and the relation of  head and modifier.

:D  Grammatical relations

Grammatical relations concerns certain major type of  phrase recognized by the grammar, apperent in their location in a tree diagram,and include the following traditionally recognized aspect of grammar :

1.       Subject, the noun phrase (NP) immediately under S.

2.       Predicate, the verb phrase (VP) immediately under S.

3.       Direct object, the noun phrase (NP) immediately under VP, and

4.       Object of preposition, the noun phrase (NP) immediatey under PP.

:D Part of speech

Including the traditionally recognized parts of spech recognized the example : Those pesky beavers inhabit a narrow stream above the lake

a.       Determiner (Det): those, a , and the

b.      Adjective (Aj) : pesky, and narrow

c.       Noun (N) : beavers, stream, and lake

:D Head and modifiers

A third sort of function presented by the tree diagram is head and modifier. Except for S, each word group of sentencce is made up of ahead and it’s modifier. The head of pharse is the word nescessary for the pharse, which gives the phrase its name: the noun of an NP, the verb of a VP, and the preposition of a PP. The other wors are modifier (or specifiers and modifiers) of the head.

BASIC ASSUMPTION

1.       Sentence have parts wich may themselve have pars.

2.       The parts of sentence belong to a limited range of types

3.       The parts have specific funtion within the larger parts they belong to

So from that we know, English syntax is founded opun the meaning and the logical connection of words rather than upon this form. It’s quite as necessary to place word properly and to thing clearly of the meaning of words, asto study inflected forms.

SYNTATIC CATEGORY	LEXICAL CATEGORIES
Determiner (Det)	Noun (N)
Degree word (Deg)	Verb (V)
Qualifier (Qual)	Adjective (Adj)
Auxiliary (Aux)	Preposition (P)
Conjuntion (Con)	Adverb (Adv)

For this time I had post until it, sorry I can’t keeping it more but next post I’ll post about Phrase Stucture Rule. I promis, thank you for reading *XOXO*
