  • A Syntactic Analysis of Copular Sentences*
    A SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS OF COPULAR SENTENCES* Masato Niimura Nanzan University 1. Introduction Copular is a verb whose main function is to link subjects with predicate complements. In a limited sense, the copular refers to a verb that does not have any semantic content, but links subjects and predicate complements. In a broad sense, the copular contains a verb that has its own meaning and bears the syntactic function of “the copular.” Higgins (1979) analyses English copular sentences and classifies them into three types. (1) a. predicational sentence b. specificational sentence c. identificational sentence Examples are as follows: (2) a. John is a philosopher. b. The bank robber is John Smith. c. That man is Mary’s brother. (2a) is an example of predicational sentence. This type takes a reference as subject, and states its property in predicate. In (2a), the reference is John, and its property is a philosopher. (2b) is an example of specificational sentence, which expresses what meets a kind of condition. In (2b), what meets the condition of the bank robber is John Smith. (2c) is an example of identificational sentence, which identifies two references. This sentence identifies that man and Mary’s brother. * This paper is part of my MA thesis submitted to Nanzan University in March, 2007. This paper was also presented at the Connecticut-Nanzan-Siena Workshop on Linguistic Theory and Language Acquisition, held at Nanzan University on February 21, 2007. I would like to thank the participants for the discussions and comments on this paper.

  • 18.5 Complements Often, a Sub1ect and Verb Alone Can Express a Complete Thought. for Example, Buds Fly Can Stand by Itself As A
    18.5 Complements Often, a sub1ect and verb alone can express a complete thought. For example, Buds fly can stand by itself as a sentence. Even though it contains only two words, a subject and a verb. Other times, however, the thought begun by a subject end its verb must be completed with other words. For example, Toni bought, The eyewitness told, Our mechanic is, Richard feels, and Marco seems all contain a subject and verb, but none expresses a complete thought. All these ideas need complements. 18.5.1: A complement is a word or group of words that completes the meaning of a sentence. Complements are usually nouns, pronouns, or adjectives. They are located right after or very close to the verb. The complements answer questions about the subject or verb in order to complete the sentence. S = SUBJECT, AV = ACTION VERB, LV = LINKING VERB, IO = INDIRECT OBJECT, DO = DIRECT OBJECT, PA = PREDICATE ADJECTIVE, PN = PREDICATE NOUN (NOMINATIVE) Toni bought cars. S – AV – DO. The eyewitness told us the story. S – AV – IO – DO. Our mechanic is a genius. S – LV- PN. Richard feels sad. S – LV – PA. Direct Objects 18.5.2 A direct object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb. You can find a direct object by asking What? or Whom? after an action verb. My dog Champ likes a good scratch. Like subjects and verbs, direct objects can be compound. That is, one verb can have two or more direct objects. Compound Direct Objects Like subjects and verbs, direct objects can be compound.

Generally, a phrase is used in the sentence as a single part of speech. In this section we will be concerned with prepositional phrases, gerund phrases, participial phrases, and infinitive phrases. Prepositional Phrases The preposition is a single (usually small) word or a cluster of words that show relationship between the object of the preposition and some other word in the sentence.

  • Syntax Topics • •
    Syntax Topics 1. Syntax and morphology are the two parts of grammar. • Morphology deals with the internal economy of the word. • Syntax deals with the external economy of the word. 2. Words are constituents of larger groups, called phrases, which may aggregate into larger phrases, and eventually into a different kind of constituent, called a clause. 3. The difference between a phrase and a clause is that a phrase is focussed on one kind of word: a noun phrase (NP) is an elaboration of a noun, a verb phrase (VP) of a verb, etc; while a clause is a relation between two kinds of phrase: VP (Predi- cate) and NPs (Argument(s) of the Predicate). 4. Every sentence has at least one clause; many have more. If there are several, only one can be the main clause; the rest are subordinate clauses of one kind or another. 5. Grammatical functions expressed in many languages (called synthetic languages) by morphological inflection (e.g, tense, mood, voice, etc.) are expressed in English (an analytic language) by various syntactic constructions and augmentations, often using sets of special words called auxiliaries, particles, or function words. Such words include prepositions, conjunctions, quantifiers, and articles; sets of them are called closed classes, because they are small and don’t borrow new words. 6. The most important kind of word in any sentence is the matrix predicate, which in English can be a predicate adjective or predicate noun (with a form of be in front of it to receive the tense). The matrix predicate governs the type and existence of any subject, object, complement, or inflection appearing with it.

  • RC HUMS 392 English Grammar and Meaning Complements
    RC HUMS 392 English Grammar and Meaning Complements 1. Bill wanted/intended/hoped/said/seemed/forgot/asked/failed/tried/decided to write the book. 2. Bill enjoyed/tried/finished/admitted/reported/remembered/permitted writing the book. 3. Bill thought/said/forgot/remembered/reported/was sad/discovered/knew that he wrote the book. 4. Bill asked/wondered/knew/discovered/said why he wrote the book. There are four different types of complement (noun clause, either subject or object – the ones above are all object complements): respectively, they are called infinitive, gerund, that-clause, and embedded question. These types, and their structures and markers (like to and –ing) are often called complementizers. Other names for these types include for-to complementizer (infinitive), POSS-ing (or ACC-ing) complementizer (gerund), inflected (or tensed) clause (that), or WH- complementizer (embedded question). Which term you use is of no concern; they’re equivalent. Infinitives and gerunds are often called non-finite clauses, while questions and that-clauses are called finite clauses, because of the absence or presence of tense markers on the verb form. That-clauses and questions must have a fully-inflected verb, in either the present or past tense, while infinitives and gerunds are not marked for tense. Non-finite complements often do not have overt subjects; these may be deleted either because they’re indefinite or under identity. Very roughly speaking, infinitives refer to states, gerunds to events or activities, and that-clauses to propositions, but it is the identify and nature of the matrix predicate governing the complement (i.e, the predicate that the complement is the subject or object of) that determines not only what kind of thing the complement refers to, but also whether there can be a complement at all, and which complementizer(s) it can take, if so.

  • Adjectives Modify (Describe) Nouns and Pronouns
    ADJECTIVES Adjectives modify (describe) nouns and pronouns. Adjectives answer the Adjectives questions: what kind? how many? which? Example without William bought a car. adjectives: The reader does not know if it is a new car or an old car, the color of the car, the make and model, etc. Example with William bought a brand new, red Corvette. adjectives: In this case, Corvette is the noun, and brand new and red are the adjectives that modify it. Now the reader has a clear picture of what kind of car William bought. Example without The instructor required the students to buy books for the class. adjectives: Example with The English instructor required the students to buy three books adjectives: for the class. In this sentence, the word English is a proper adjective* that tells the reader what kind of instructor he or she is while the adjective three tells the reader how many books are required for the class. *Proper adjectives are adjectives that are used to specifically describe an important noun. They are always capitalized. Adjectives usually come before the noun they modify. However, when an adjective is working as a subject complement, it comes after the word it modifies, after a linking verb, and describes the subject. Example of a Joshua’s trip to Alaska was exciting, terrifying, and educational. subject complement: In this sentence, Joshua’s trip is the subject of the sentence; was is the linking verb; and exciting, terrifying, and educational are the adjectives describing Joshua’s trip. 8/18 .

  • Chapter 5 Nps and Their Functions Review of Nps Definition of a Noun Phrase: a Noun Or Pronoun Head and All of Its Modifiers
    Chapter 5 NPs and their Functions Review of NPs Definition of a noun phrase: A noun or pronoun head and all of its modifiers. Let's go over all the NPs in the sentence below: Gaggles of goblins attacked some cute witches with black, well-worn broomsticks. What is the first NP in this sentence? Not gaggles--it is a noun, but it has a modifier, of goblins. What is the evidence for this identification? Try replacing the NP which has gaggles as its head with they. Is They of goblins attacked some cute witches with black, well-worn broomsticks okay? No. Try They attacked some cute witches with black, well-worn broomsticks. That is grammatical, suggesting that the entire NP is gaggles of goblins, not just gaggles. What evidence is there that gaggles is not a modifier of goblins? It could be a new predeterminer (notice that it can't be an adjective phrase). It marks number (a gaggle vs. gaggles) which suggests that it's a noun. But, notice something else, goblins can be replaced with a personal pronoun: Gaggles of them. This suggests that goblins is a separate NP that does not include gaggles (or of). Notice also that the pronoun that replaces goblins is them, while the pronoun which replaces gaggles of goblins is they, suggesting that these two NPs fill different functions in the sentence. So there are two NPs: Gaggles of goblins (which has a head noun gaggles and a prepositional modifier of goblins) and goblins (which has only a head noun goblins and no modifiers).

  • Copular Verbs of the Become Type and the Expression of ‘Resulting’ Meaning in English and in Czech: a Contrastive Corpus-Supported View
    2013 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PAG. 99–115 PHILOLOGICA 3 / PRAGUE STUDIES IN ENGLISH XXVI COPULAR VERBS OF THE BECOME TYPE AND THE EXPRESSION OF ‘RESULTING’ MEANING IN ENGLISH AND IN CZECH: A CONTRASTIVE CORPUS-SUPPORTED VIEW MARKÉTA MALÁ 1. Copular clauses in English and in Czech Copular clauses, i.e. clauses with a verbo-nominal predicate, are used both in English and in Czech as a means of ascribing a quality, property or value to the subject. How- ever, the repertoires of copular verbs available in the two languages differ significantly. In Czech, it is only the copula být (‘be ’ ) that is generally considered a linking verb, with some grammars also accepting its resulting counterpart stát se (‘become ’ ) as a member of the class. In English, a range of copular verbs covers the ascription of a ‘current ’ qual- ity (verbs of ‘remaining ’ , sensory perception, or epistemic modification) as well as the expression of the resultant state. We shall focus on the latter group, considering a) how the various types of ‘becoming ’ differ from one another in English, b) how these differ- ences are rendered in the Czech translation, and c) what the Czech counterparts can suggest about the ways of expressing ‘resulting ’ meaning in English. 2. The method and material The method can be described as a bidirectional corpus-supported1 approach. The analysis (see Figure 1) proceeds from a grammatical and semantic description of the English resulting copular verbs in English original texts (step one) to a study of their patterns of translation correspondence in Czech (step two). It can be assumed that for- mally distinct constructions which share the same function or meaning will also share the same translation counterparts.
