  • “The Relative Pronoun” As Has Been the Case in the Last Several Chapters
    CHAPTER 17 “Te Relatve Pronoun” As has been te case in te last several chaptrs, tis chaptr realy doesn’t confont te neophyt wit a lot of new grammatcal concepts; it builds on knowledge already mastred. Stl it’s going t take a litle patence, but we’l go slowly. Before we get t te relatve pronoun per se, we’re going t clean up a syntactcal point you’ve already been working wit, but may not have yet a firm conceptual understanding of. Let’s look at what we mean by a “clause”. THE CLAUSE You al remember te junior high school definiton of a sentnce: it’s a complet tought. And by tat we mean a tought which includes a noun, eiter expressed or implied, and a verb, eiter expressed or implied. Tat is, a complet tought must involve someting which is doing someting or which is being held up for descripton: “Te road is blocked”; “Te tee fel down”; and so on. Now, te human mind is a wonderfl ting. It reasons and perceives dozens of different kinds relatonships between events, tings, and ideas. It arranges events and facts logicaly and tmporaly, and in levels of priorit. Tat is t say, it takes two or more tings, tings which are separat ideas, separat visions, and weaves tem tgeter conceptualy and linguistcaly int what we “reasoning”. Te way tis reasoning is expressed in language is caled “syntax”, which litraly means “arranging tgeter”; puting tgeter events and tings and facts. For example, te two separat ideas or visions -- “te road is blocked” and “te tee fel down” -- might have a causal relatonship, which te mind instantly recognizes and expresses linguistcaly wit an appropriat conjuncton: “Te road is blocked because te tee fel down”.

Chauncey Brigham Young University As I was pondering my thesis topic a few years ago, Professor Skousen suggested that I do an analysis of the Tagged Brown Corpus. I told him that I wanted to do a thesis in linguistics and that I didn't know anything about performing autopsies. He said it wouldn't really be an autopsy, since the Brown Corpus isn't really dead yet, although it is getting old. So I asked him what the body tag was for. He said it wasn't a body tag; it was grammatical tags. For those of you unfamiliar with the Brown Corpus, it is a corpus of about a million word~ compiled at Brown University (hence the name) by Nelson Francis and Henry Kucera in the early 1960s.

  • The Use of Personal Pronouns in Political Speeches a Comparative Study of the Pronominal Choices of Two American Presidents
    School of Language and Literature G3, Bachelors’ Course English Linguistics Course Code: 2EN10E Supervisor: Ibolya Maricic Credits: 15 Examiner: Charlotte Hommerberg Date: May 28, 2012 The Use of Personal Pronouns in Political Speeches A comparative study of the pronominal choices of two American presidents Jessica Håkansson ! !"#$%&'$( The study investigates the pronominal choices made by George W Bush and Barack Obama in their State of the Union speeches. The main focus of the study is on determining whom the two presidents refer to when they use the pronouns I, you, we and they, and to compare the differences in pronominal usage by the two presidents. The results suggest that the pronominal choices of the presidents do not differ significantly. The results also indicate that the pronoun I is used when the speaker wants to speak as an individual rather than as a representative of a group. You is used both as generic pronoun as well as a way for the President to speak to the Congress, without speaking on their behalf. The pronoun we is used to invoke a sense of collectivity and to share responsibility, in most cases it refers to the President and the Congress. They is used to separate self from other; whom the speaker refers to while using they varied greatly between the speakers. The study also showed that the pronominal choices and whom the pronouns refer to vary greatly depending on the context of the speech. Since a great deal of studies on pronominal choices in political interviews and debates already exist, this study can be regarded as significant because it deals with prepared speeches rather than interviews and debates.

  • Preposition Stranding Vs. Pied-Piping—The Role of Cognitive Complexity in Grammatical Variation
    languages Article Preposition Stranding vs. Pied-Piping—The Role of Cognitive Complexity in Grammatical Variation Christine Günther Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Universität Siegen, 57076 Siegen, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: Grammatical variation has often been said to be determined by cognitive complexity. Whenever they have the choice between two variants, speakers will use that form that is associated with less processing effort on the hearer’s side. The majority of studies putting forth this or similar analyses of grammatical variation are based on corpus data. Analyzing preposition stranding vs. pied-piping in English, this paper sets out to put the processing-based hypotheses to the test. It focuses on discontinuous prepositional phrases as opposed to their continuous counterparts in an online and an offline experiment. While pied-piping, the variant with a continuous PP, facilitates reading at the wh-element in restrictive relative clauses, a stranded preposition facilitates reading at the right boundary of the relative clause. Stranding is the preferred option in the same contexts. The heterogenous results underline the need for research on grammatical variation from various perspectives.

An Elementary Ghau Aethauic Grammar By Ian Hollenbaugh 1 i. Foreword This is an essential grammar for any serious student of Ghau Aethau. Mr. Hollenbaugh has done an excellent job in cataloguing and explaining the many grammatical features of one of the most complex language systems ever spoken. Now published for the first time with an introduction by my former colleague and premier Ghau Aethauic scholar, Philip Logos, who has worked closely with young Hollenbaugh as both mentor and editor, this is sure to be the definitive grammar for students and teachers alike in the field of New Classics for many years to come. John Townsend, Ph.D Professor Emeritus University of Nunavut 2 ii. Author’s Preface This grammar, though as yet incomplete, serves as my confession to what J.R.R. Tolkien once called “a secret vice.” History has proven Professor Tolkien right in thinking that this is not a bizarre or freak occurrence, undergone by only the very whimsical, but rather a common “hobby,” one which many partake in, and have partaken in since at least the time of Hildegard of Bingen in the twelfth century C.E.

  • Relative Clauses
    ENGLISH GRAMMAR Relative Clauses RELATIVE CLAUSES INTRODUCTION There are two types of relative clauses: 1. Defining relative clauses 2. Non-defining relative clauses DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES These describe the preceding noun in such a way to distinguish it from other nouns of the same class. A clause of this kind is essential to clear understanding of the noun. The boy who was playing is my brother. Defining Relative Pronouns SUBJECT OBJECT POSSESSIVE For people Who Whom/Who Whose That That For things Which Which Whose That That Of which Defining Relative Clauses: people A. Subject: who or that Who is normally used: The man who robbed you has been arrested. The girls who serve in the shop are the owner’s daughters. But that is a possible alternative after all, everyone, everybody, no one, nobody and those: Everyone who/that knew him liked him. Nobody who/that watched the match will ever forget it. B. Object of a verb: whom, who or that The object form is whom, but it is considered very formal. In spoken English we normally use who or that (that being more usual than who), and it is still more common to omit the object pronoun altogether: The man whom I saw told me to come back today. The man who I saw told me to come back today. The man that I saw told me to come back today. The man I saw told me to come back today. C. With a preposition: whom or that In formal English the preposition is placed before the relative pronoun, which must then be put into the form whom: The man to whom I spoke… In informal speech, however, it is more usual to move the preposition to the end of the clause.

  • The Formation of the Relative Pronoun
    Chapter 17: Relative Pronouns and Clauses. Chapter 17 covers the following: the formation of the relative pronoun; the nature and translation of relative clauses; and at the end of the lesson we'll review the vocabulary which you should memorize in this chapter. There is one rule ─ one very important rule! ─ to remember in this chapter. (1) A relative pronoun agrees with its antecedent in number and gender but not case; it derives its case from its use in its own clause. OK, kiddies! Vacation's over. Hope you enjoyed the rest that you had with Chapters 14-16. Welcome back to Pluto's happy home of grammar torture, aka “hell-o subordination”! This chapter incorporates some of the most important grammar we'll study in all of Latin. It involves how to form Latin clauses comparable to English clauses that begin with "who," "which," and so on. We'll also encounter some important and fundamental grammatical concepts and terms which you'll need to know for your future study of Latin, terms and concepts like clause, subordinate, relative, antecedent, all of which you should know by the time we're done with this chapter. Let's start then by looking at those four terms. "Clause" refers to a dependent or subordinate thought or sentence which is embedded inside another thought or sentence. When the clause is called subordinate or dependent, it means it can't stand alone grammatically. For instance, if I said "When I'm home,…" ─ yeah, you kinda go like “Well, what?,” because it's not a full thought.
