Yogyakarta: Departement of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University,2008. An adjective phrase, which has the same distribution and function as an adjective, plays an important role in the construction of simple or complex sentences. An adjective phrase is a phrase which has an adjective as its head. It may consist of a single adjective or complete elements like in the Phrase-bar theory. It needs other phrases when it occurs in complex form. The phrases have their functions

  • Phrase Structure Directionality: Having a Few Choices
    PHRASE STRUCTURE DIRECTIONALITY: HAVING A FEW CHOICES by ALEXANDRA ZEPTER A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School - New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Linguistics written under the direction of Professor Mark Baker and approved by Mark Baker Jane Grimshaw Ken Safir Peter Sells New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2003 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Phrase Structure Directionality: Having a few Choices by ALEXANDRA ZEPTER Dissertation Director: Professor Mark Baker The thesis claims that the linear organization of specifier, head and complement in a phrase and throughout a syntactic tree is determined by a conflict between general violable constraints on X-bar-structure. The adopted framework is Optimality Theory (cf. Prince & Smolensky 1993; in syntax, cf. Grimshaw 1997). The proposed constraint system explains why phrase structure directionality is mostly uniform and why only some non-uniform cases exist, while other logically possible kinds of mixed directionality are unattested. Central to the dissertation is the idea that head-initial oriented languages have a greater structural conflict to resolve inside their lexical projections than head-final languages: The combination of a general preference for [head - complement]-order and for a left-peripheral specifier bars the lexical head from surfacing at an edge of the phrase. The combination of a general preference for [complement - head]-order and for a left-peripheral specifier still allows alignment at one edge. This greater conflict can be resolved in different ways, which leads to slightly more variation among head-initial oriented languages: Not only do we find uniform SVO-languages, but we also find VOS-languages, VSO-languages and head-initial oriented languages with a head-final verb phrase.

  • The Adnominal Adjective in Attic and Modern Greek
    The adnominal adjective in Attic and Modern Greek. Exam No. 7429547 Thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science in Applied Linguistics. To The Department of Linguistics and English Language, School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences, University of Edinburgh. August 2010 To Trou- for making this come true. Abstract The aim of the present study is to analyze the adnominal adjective in Attic and Modern Greek. In both languages the adjective can precede or follow the modified noun while a definite article can precede both the adjective and the noun. It is stated in literature that the adjective functions either as attributive or as predicative modifier. Using alternative terminology (by Huddleston and Pullum 2002) for all functions, firstly I propose that in Modern Greek there can be also one function, namely parathesis, which is assumed to be a function realized only by nouns. I also suggest for both languages that the predictive modifier is actually the same function as what is called predicative adjunct. A further aim of this project is to examine whether the variation in constructions found in both languages is just for emphasis, as suggested in the literature. It is argued that the presence and position of the definite article, the word order and the kind adjective (ascriptive/associative) are factors affecting the function and semantics of AdjP. It is also argued that the same constructions in these two languages are not equal: the default word order is different (Noun, Adjective for Attic Greek and Adjective, Noun for Modern Greek), while the less common constructions in both languages are used in different situations.

  • Structure Shift in Indonesian – English Translation
    Vol. 2, No. 1, Januari 2018, 46-58 Available Online at https://ejournal.warmadewa.ac.id/index.php/kulturistik DOI: dx.doi.org/10.22225/kulturistik.2.1.491 STRUCTURE SHIFT IN INDONESIAN – ENGLISH TRANSLATION I Ketut Subagia Warmadewa University [email protected] I Made Astu Mahayana Warmadewa University [email protected] ABSTRACT Structure shift is one of the problems in translations. This problem is important to be dealt with because it is the most frequent category occurring at all rank in translation. Besides, in grammar structure shift can occur at all ranks. The discussion about structure shift only covers structure shift in phrase, clause, and sentence level. This research used the transla- tion theory proposed by J.C. Catford (1965). He states that shift is departure from formal correspondence in the process of going form the SL to the TL. He also states that there are two kinds of shift in translating, namely level-shift and category-shift. Category shift means the change of formal structure of the SL, in process of translating into the TL. The data source is taken from four bilingual folklores. Data collecting used observation meth- od and descriptive method was employed in analyzing the data. The findings show that in phrase level structure shift found only in noun and adjective phrase. The shifts in noun phrase are: H PostM PostM into PreM PreM H, H PostM into PreM H, and PreM H PostM Post M, into PreM PreM PreM H. In adjective phrase structure shift is found only one i.e. PreM H into H PostM.

Many people study it to communicate. If the people study language, it's needed to learn the structure of sentence first. Learning it, the people have to know what the structure is and its constructions. The scope of study to learn the structure of sentence is grammar, in English language the people will find the rules of sentence and its types by learning grammar. Grammar is a study of English language to learn the structure of sentence, which consists the group of words.

  • A [Wikid] GLOSSARY of SYNTAX
    A [wikid] GLOSSARY OF SYNTAX A [wikid] GLOSSARY OF SYNTAX 192 A [wikid] GLOSSARY OF SYNTAX ADJECTIVE PHRASE An adjective phrase is a phrase whose head word is an adjective, e.g. fond of steak, very happy, quite upset about it, etc. Th e adjective in an adjective phrase can initiate the phrase (e.g. fond of steak), conclude the phrase (e.g. very happy), or appear in a medial position (e.g. quite upset about it). Th e dependents of the head adjective – i.e. the other words and phrases inside the adjective phrase – are typically adverbs or prepositional phrases, but they can also be clauses (e.g. louder than you do). Adjectives and adjective phrases function in two basic ways in clauses, either attri- butively or predicatively. When they are attributive, they appear inside a noun phrase and modify that noun phrase, and when they are predicative, they appear outside of the noun phrase that they modify and typically follow a linking verb (copula). ADVERB PHRASE An adverb phrase is a linguistic term for a group of two or more words operating adverbially, when viewed in terms of their syntactic function. Adverb(ial) phrases (““AdvP” in syntactic trees) are phrases that do the work of an adverb in a sentence. ADVERBIAL An adverbial a word (an adverb) or a group of words (an adverbial phrase or an adverbial clause) that modifi es or tells us something about the sentence or the verb. Th e word adverbial is also used as an adjective, meaning “having the same function as an adverb”.
