  • Linguistics 21N - Linguistic Diversity and Universals: the Principles of Language Structure
    Linguistics 21N - Linguistic Diversity and Universals: The Principles of Language Structure Ben Newman March 1, 2018 1 What are we studying in this course? This course is about syntax, which is the subfield of linguistics that deals with how words and phrases can be combined to form correct larger forms (usually referred to as sentences). We’re not particularly interested in the structure of words (morphemes), sounds (phonetics), or writing systems, but instead on the rules underlying how words and phrases can be combined across different languages. These rules are what make up the formal grammar of a language. Formal grammar is similar to what you learn in middle and high school English classes, but is a lot more, well, formal. Instead of classifying words based on meaning or what they “do" in a sentence, formal grammars depend a lot more on where words are in the sentence. For example, in English class you might say an adjective is “a word that modifies a noun”, such as red in the phrase the red ball. A more formal definition of an adjective might be “a word that precedes a noun" or “the first word in an adjective phrase" where the adjective phrase is red ball. Describing a formal grammar involves writing down a lot of rules for a language. 2 I-Language and E-Language Before we get into the nitty-gritty grammar stuff, I want to take a look at two ways language has traditionally been described by linguists. One of these descriptions centers around the rules that a person has in his/her mind for constructing sentences.

NOUN: Name of a person, place, or thing (tells who or what); may be concrete or abstract; common or proper, singular or plural. PREPOSITION: A word that connects a noun or noun phrase (the object) to another word, phrase, or clause and conveys a relation between the elements. PRONOUN: Takes the place of a person, place, or thing: can function any way a noun can function; may be nominative, objective, or possessive; may be singular or plural; may be personal (therefore, first, second or third person), demonstrative, intensive, interrogative, reflexive, relative, or indefinite.

  • Chapter 3 Noun Phrases Pronouns
    Chapter 3 Noun Phrases Now that we have established something about the structure of verb phrases, let's move on to noun phrases (NPs). A noun phrase is a noun or pronoun head and all of its modifiers (or the coordination of more than one NP--to be discussed in Chapter 6). Some nouns require the presence of a determiner as a modifier. Most pronouns are typically not modified at all and no pronoun requires the presence of a determiner. We'll start with pronouns because they are a relatively simple closed class. Pronouns English has several categories of pronouns. Pronouns differ in the contexts they appear in and in the grammatical information they contain. Pronouns in English can contrast in person, number, gender, and case. We've already discussed person and number, but to review: 1. English has three persons o first person, which is the speaker or the group that includes the speaker; o second person, which is the addressee or the group of addressees; o third person, which is anybody or anything else 2. English has two numbers o singular, which refers to a singular individual or undifferentiated group or mass; o plural, which refers to more than one individual. The difference between we and they is a difference in person: we is first person and they is third person. The difference between I and we is a difference in number: I is singular and we is plural. The other two categories which pronouns mark are gender and case. Gender is the system of marking nominal categories.

  • Post-Verbal Constituent Ordering in English* Thomas Wasow Jennifer Arnold Stanford University University of Rochester
    Post-verbal constituent ordering in English* Thomas Wasow Jennifer Arnold Stanford University University of Rochester 1. Introduction Although English is generally regarded as having relatively fixed word order, post-verbal constituents actually exhibit considerable variability in their ordering. (1)-(4) illustrate a number of constructions in which the ordering between two constituents is not fixed. (1) Heavy Noun Phrase Shift1 (HNPS) a. We take too many dubious idealizations for granted. b. We take for granted too many dubious idealizations. (2) Dative Alternation (DA) a. Kim handed a toy to the baby. b. Kim handed the baby a toy. (3) Verb Particles (VPrt) a. We figured the problem out. b. We figured out the problem. (4) Multiple PPs a. Pat talked to Chris about Sandy. b. Pat talked about Sandy to Chris. There is little, if any, semantic difference between the (a) and (b) versions in these examples; they certainly do not differ in truth conditions. For the past few years, we have been investigating what factors influence the choice of one ordering over another in such cases, with special attention to the first two. This paper summarizes some of the factors that have been shown to matter, and discusses at somewhat greater length one factor that might be expected to matter, but appears to have little effect. The work we report on here involves both corpus studies and psycholinguistic experiments. Much of it is described elsewhere in greater detail. Our purpose here is to pull together what is known on the topic and to try to extract some lessons from it.

    Head Words and Phrases Tallerman: Chapter 4 Ling 222 - Chapter 4 1 Heads and their Dependents • Properties of heads – Head bears most important semantic information of the phrase. – Word class of head determines word class of entire phrase. • [NP very bright [N sunflowers] ] [VP [V overflowed] quite quickly] [AP very [A bright]] [AdvP quite [Adv quickly]] [PP [P inside] the house] Ling 222 - Chapter 4 2 1 – Head has same distribution as the entire phrase. • Go inside the house.

  • THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NOUN PHRASE and VERB PHRASE Japensarage [email protected]´
    Ahmad Dahlan Journal of English Studies (ADJES) Vol. 1, Issue 1-2, September 2014 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NOUN PHRASE AND VERB PHRASE JapenSarage [email protected]´ Ahmad Dahlan University Yogyakarta Abstract Among words classes or parts of speech a noun and a verb or precisely a noun phrase and a verb phrase play a very important role in syntax. In English, they mark the presence of sentence. The relationship between them is very close that one may cause the presence of another. This is often called a subject-predicate relationship and their degree is a bilateral dependency i.e. the verb phrase determines the noun phrase called valence and the noun phrase determines the verb through agreement (Bussman, 1996:1139). Other relationships among different phrases are one-sided or in the form of modifiers, subordinators, or complementizers, one is more important than others. This paper attempts to discuss a noun phrase and a verb phrase as the main part of a sentence. Some special characteristics of the noun phrase and the verb phrase are discussed. This paper also tries to see if other sentence elements such as an adjectival, adverbial, and prepositional phrases can have an emphasis in a sentence. Key words: phrase, complementizer, valence, agreement. A. Introduction. A traditional sentence analysis often involves the terms such as subject, predicate, object, complement, and adverbial. Such terms are said to be inconsistent because a noun can function as a subject, object, complement, or an adverbial. So does a verb, it can serve as a subject, object, and an adverbial. The terms representing a word class are now preferred.
