  • Sentence Patterns
    Sentence Patterns An easy way to avoid fragments, comma splices, and run-on sentences is to recognize independent and dependent clauses in your sentence patterns and punctuate them accordingly. CLAUSES: Independent Clause: a group of related words that contains both a subject and a verb and makes complete sense. s v Ex: Cindy skips lunch at work. Dependent Clause: a group of related words that also contains both a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand by itself and make complete sense; it is dependent upon an independent clause to make sense in a sentence. It often begins with a subordinating conjunction. s v Ex: Because Cindy skips lunch at work SENTENCE STRUCTURES: Simple Sentence: a sentence that contains one independent clause (It is basically a complete sentence that consists of a subject and verb.) s v Ex: Cindy skips lunch at work. Compound Sentence: a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses s v s v Ex: Cindy skips lunch at work, and she is famished at the end of the day. Complex Sentence: a sentence that contains at least one independent clause and one dependent clause s v s v Ex: Because Cindy skips lunch at work, she is famished at the end of the day. Compound-Complex Sentence: a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause s v s v Ex: Because Cindy skips lunch at work, she is famished at the end of the day, s v v so she stops and gets a burger on her way home.

  • (Non ) Occurrence of Subject Pronouns
    Contrast and the (Non-) Occurrence of Subject Pronouns Patrícia Matos Amaral and Scott A. Schwenter The Ohio State University 1. Introduction One of the main communicative functions of subject personal pronouns (SPPs) in Spanish and European Portuguese (as well as other “pro”-drop languages) is to mark “contrast”. This function is recognized by nearly all grammars of these languages (e.g. Alarcos Llorach 1994; Butt & Benjamin 2000; Gili Gaya 1943; Cunha & Cintra 1987), and has been succinctly summarized recently by Luján: “[E]l uso explícito de un pronombre personal tónico en posiciones donde su omisión es normal obedece a razones de contraste o énfasis” (1999: 1277).1 However, neither these works nor more specialized studies tend to be explicit about the OBLIGATORINESS OR OPTIONALITY of SPPs in contrastive contexts. Must SPPs appear in contrastive contexts or are they merely a POTENTIAL feature of such contexts? As a result of this inexplicitness, there is no consensus on the issue, and several different positions regarding the (non-) occurrence of contrastive SPPs can be found in the literature. On the one hand, there exists a number of studies where contrastive contexts (or a subset thereof) are considered to be obligatory contexts for subject pronouns. Examples of this approach in the study of Spanish can be found in Silva-Corvalán (1982, 1994, 2001, 2003), Cameron (1992, 1995, 1997), Bayley & Pease-Álvarez (1997), and Solomon (1999). The common bond that unites these studies is that they are all carried out within a variationist (socio)linguistic framework in the Labovian tradition (cf. Labov 1972). In this tradition, an important methodological step that serves as a necessary precursor to quantitative analysis is the identification of the so-called “envelope of variation”, i.e.

  • English-Russian-Finnish Cross-Language Comparison of Phrasal Verb Translation Equivalents
    English-Russian-Finnish Cross-Language Comparison of Phrasal Verb Translation Equivalents Olga Mudraya1, Scott S. L. Piao2, Laura Löfberg3, Paul Rayson2, Dawn Archer4 1 Department of Linguistics and Modern English Language, Lancaster University – UK 2Computing Department, Lancaster University – UK 3Department of Translation Studies, University of Tampere – Finland 4Department of Humanities, University of Central Lancashire – UK Keywords: MWE extraction, phrasal verbs, English, Russian, Finnish 1. Introduction A phraseological expression in a language may have equivalent expressions in other languages with different morpho-syntactic structures and semantic properties. Our recent experience in the Benedict Project (EU IST-2001-34237), in which a Finnish semantic lexicon compatible to the Lancaster English semantic lexicon (Rayson et al., 2004) has been built, shows that there can exist complex cross-language relations between English phraseological expressions, or multiword expressions (MWE), and their translation equivalents in other languages. A deeper understanding of such relations between phraseological expressions across languages is important for various tasks such as language learning, translation, automatic bilingual/multilingual lexicon extraction, etc. This work forms part of two research projects which involve porting of the Lancaster English semantic tagger (Rayson et al., 2004) to Russian and Finnish languages, as well as the continuing improvement of the English tagger. Previous computational approaches to MWE have mainly focussed on English, and there has been little previous research on computational approaches to MWE in Russian (Sharoff, 2004) or Finnish. In this paper, we will compare some frequently occurring English phrasal verbs with their translation equivalents in Russian and Finnish, both in terms of morpho-syntactic structures and semantic properties.

  • H-Conjunctive Adverbs
    Conjunctive Adverbs: Words in Endless Grammatical Angst! Also called adverbial conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs are pathetic, confused little creatures. They can't decide if they are adverbs or conjunctions in traditional grammar! Accordingly, they try to be both. This tendency leads to all sorts of punctuation problems. Before we go into detail, however, we should take a look at the most common conjunctive adverbs and adverbial phrases so we can better recognize them. View this line-up not with contempt, but with pity for these half-breed misfits: ! accordingly ! for example ! in fact ! of course ! again ! further ! in particular ! otherwise ! also ! furthermore ! instead ! still ! as a result ! hence ! likewise ! that is ! besides ! however ! meanwhile ! then ! consequently ! in addition ! moreover ! therefore ! finally ! indeed ! namely ! thus ! nevertheless Because they are akin to adverbs, conjunctive adverbs can indeed function as simple adverbs. In such a situation, they merely modify a verb, adjective, or another adverb. When they behave this way, they do not need any special punctuation. They are simply functioning as adverbs. For example, consider these two sentences: She was accordingly quite interested in grammar. However ugly the gargoyle may be, I will go on a blind date with him. Here, accordingly and however are simple adverbs. All accordingly does is modify the verb interested. All however does is modify the adjective ugly. On the other hand, as Kolln and Funk note, conjunctive adverbs can also appear at the start of
