Basics of English Grammar
This presentation covers comparative and superlative forms of adjectives in English grammar. It defines nouns, adjectives, and syllables. It then explains how to form the comparative form using "-er" and the superlative form using "-est" or irregular forms. Examples are provided and exercises include giving Polish translations, comparative forms, and superlative forms of listed adjectives.
Morphology
This document discusses some of the morphological differences between English and Thai and difficulties that Thai learners face when learning English morphology. It notes that English is an inflectional language while Thai is isolating. Some key challenges for Thai learners include:
- Mastering English inflectional suffixes for plural nouns, possessive cases, pronouns, verb tenses.
- Understanding irregular forms and zero morphemes in English.
- Using apostrophes correctly for possessive forms.
- Comparative and superlative forms are more complex in English than Thai.
- Thai does not have inflections for number, gender, tense like English so these concepts are new for Thai learners. The document provides several
Prefixes and suffixes
Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that are added to existing words to alter their meaning and form new words. Common prefixes include anti-, dis-, de-, ex-, and mis-. Common suffixes include -ly, -less, -able, and -ful. Examples are provided of adding prefixes like un- or multi- and suffixes like -ish or -er to words to demonstrate how they change the meaning and create a new word. Prefixes and suffixes cannot stand alone and require a base word.
Sets adjective edited
This document discusses the positive, comparative, and superlative forms of adjectives. It defines adjectives as words that describe nouns and defines syllables as sounds of vowels in words. It then explains that the positive form is a simple adjective, the comparative form uses "-er" or "more" to describe something as more of an adjective, and the superlative form uses "-est" or "most" to describe something as the most of an adjective. Finally, it provides charts showing how to build the comparative and superlative forms depending on the number of syllables in the adjective.

Morphology: A WORDS AND ITS APARTS
The document discusses different types of morphemes and their roles in word structure. It defines morphemes as the minimal units of morphology. There are two main types of morphemes: free morphemes, which can stand alone as words, and bound morphemes, which cannot stand alone and must be attached to other morphemes. Bound morphemes are further divided into derivational morphemes, which can change a word's class, and inflectional morphemes, which indicate grammatical categories like number or tense. The document also discusses roots, affixes, and combining forms as the main components that make up words.
Lower Pri B - Prefix, suffix and root words
Prefixes, suffixes, and root words are the basic building blocks of words. Prefixes are added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning, while suffixes are added to the end. Understanding common prefixes like "pre-" and "un-" and suffixes like "-less" and "-er" can help deduce the meaning of unfamiliar words. The document provides examples of prefixes, suffixes, and how understanding their meanings makes learning new vocabulary quicker and easier.
Prefix & Suffix
This document discusses prefixes and suffixes. It provides examples of how prefixes and suffixes can change the meaning of words. Prefixes are added to the beginning of words, while suffixes are added to the end. Some key points made are:
- Prefixes like "pre", "im", and "non" can mean "before", "not", and "without" respectively.
- Suffixes like "-less", "-ful", and "-ness" can mean "without", "full of", and "state of being".
- Root words are the base words that prefixes and suffixes are added to in order to form new words.
- Adding prefixes and suffixes to root words changes the meaning of the word.
Content and function words
This document discusses different types of words and how they are structured. It covers:
1) Content words which carry meaning like nouns and verbs, and function words which are grammatical elements like prepositions. Content words are more numerous and sentences can be formed without function words.
2) Active words that are commonly used versus passive words understood but rarely used. Words can transition between these categories over time.
3) General words used in everyday speech versus more specialized words used in technical fields that require dictionaries for definition.
4) Rules of word structure that determine how phonemes, morphemes and words are arranged in sentences according to prefixes, suffixes and parts of speech. Examples demonstrate how affix
Syntax
This document provides an overview of syntax and generative grammar. It defines syntax as the study of word combinations and sentence structure. Grammar is defined as the art of writing, but is now used to study language. Generative grammar uses formal rules to generate an infinite set of grammatical sentences. Deep structure represents the underlying meaning and surface structure represents the observable form. Tree diagrams provide a visual representation of sentence structure. Movement rules are needed to represent questions and other transformations. Recursion allows sentences to be embedded within other sentences.
Root words, Prefixes and Suffixes
This document discusses root words, prefixes, and suffixes. It explains that root words are the basic words that can have prefixes added to the beginning or suffixes added to the end to change the meaning. Prefixes and suffixes are groups of letters that are added to root words. Common prefixes discussed include "un", "mis", "sub", and "pre", along with their meanings. Examples are given of how prefixes change the meaning of words. Suffixes are also explained as changing the meaning when added to the end of words. Some common suffixes and their meanings are listed such as "-s", "-ing", "-er", and "-ful".
Adjectives in-english-and-arabic
This document discusses and compares adjectives in English and Arabic. It begins by defining adjectives in English and noting that they typically precede the nouns they modify and have three forms: positive, comparative, and superlative. It then discusses adjective structure in English, noting they can be before or after nouns. Next, it explains how Arabic adjectives follow nouns and must agree with them in gender, number, definiteness and case. It provides examples of translating adjectives from English to Arabic. The document concludes by noting this study aimed to highlight similarities and differences between adjective substitutes in both languages.
Verbals
This document discusses verbals, which are verb forms that function as other parts of speech. The three types of verbals are gerunds, participles, and infinitives. Gerunds end in "-ing" and always function as nouns. Participles can be present or past tense and function as adjectives. Infinitives use "to" before the verb and can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. It is important to distinguish verbals from sentence verbs, as verbals cannot take the place of a sentence verb.
Affixes
The document discusses how prefixes and suffixes can change the meaning or function of words. It provides examples of how suffixes like -ity, -ence/-ance, -ize, -en, and -fy can modify nouns and verbs. It also explains how prefixes like un- can alter the meaning of words. Suffixes like -ful and -less are used to modify adjectives, while -ly suffixes modify adverbs.
Function words & content words
Function words serve important grammatical functions and have little meaning on their own. They include articles, auxiliary verbs, conjunctions, determiners, intensifiers, prepositions, pronouns, and interjections. Articles precede nouns and can be definite or indefinite. Auxiliary verbs combine with other verbs to form verb phrases. Conjunctions link words and phrases. Determiners introduce nouns. Pronouns replace nouns.
Root word, Prefix and Suffix.
This document discusses root words, prefixes, and suffixes. It explains that root words are the basic words that can have prefixes added to the beginning or suffixes added to the end to change the meaning. Prefixes and suffixes are groups of letters that are added to root words. Common prefixes discussed include "un", "mis", "sub", and "pre", along with their meanings. Examples are given of how prefixes change the meaning of words. Suffixes are also explained as changing the meaning when added to the end of words. Some common suffixes and their meanings are outlined such as "-s", "-ing", "-er", and "-ful".
Applied linguistics; syntax
The document discusses semantics and syntax in linguistics. It defines thematic roles like agent, theme, goal, and location that describe the semantic relations between verbs and nouns in sentences. Examples are given of how the boy is the agent in "the boy found a red brick" and the brick is the theme. It also discusses how semantics and syntax interact based on rules like the theta-criterion. Exceptions to rules are covered like anomalies, metaphors, and idioms which break semantic rules but are still used in language.
SYNTAX - head and modifiers
The document discusses the concept of heads and modifiers in linguistics. It defines a head as the key word that determines the syntactic type of a phrase. The head identifies the category of the phrase, such as a noun phrase having a noun as the head. Modifiers are optional elements that modify or change the meaning of the head. Modifiers can be premodifiers or postmodifiers, and the main types are adjectives and adverbs. Phrases can be endocentric, having an obligatory head, or exocentric, lacking a head.
Verbs, adverbs and adjectives
This document provides information and examples about verbs, adverbs, and adjectives for an 8th grade English class. It includes lists of common verbs, adverbs, and adjectives as well as examples of their uses. Students are given tasks to identify and use these parts of speech in descriptive writing exercises about images provided.
Lexical and functional word
Lexical words are the basic building blocks of a language's vocabulary and have clear meanings that can be described. They include single words like "cat" as well as phrases used as single concepts, like "traffic light". Functional or grammatical words are harder to define but have grammatical functions in sentences, such as articles like "the" and prepositions like "on". Examples of functional words include auxiliaries, conjunctions, determiners, particles, prepositions and pronouns.
Prefix suffix
Prefixes and suffixes are groups of letters that can be added to words to change their meaning. A prefix is added at the beginning of a word, like "un-" meaning "not" in "unhappy." A suffix is added at the end, like "-less" meaning "without" in "flavorless." Common prefixes and suffixes are used productively in English to create new words describing modern concepts. Examples include "multi-" for "multicultural" and "-ize" to form verbs from nouns like "idolize."

This document discusses parts of speech and word order in English grammar. It defines lexical categories as syntactic categories for elements that are part of a language's lexicon. It then identifies and explains different parts of speech in English including nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions. It also discusses word order typology and the typical subject-verb-object order in English sentences, with some exceptions.
Translation
The document defines translation and describes the translation process. Translation is replacing textual material from one language to an equivalent in another language. The translation process involves analyzing the source language text, transferring the content, and restructuring the target language text. The document also discusses different types of translations including perfect, literal meaning, idiom, semantics vs communicative, and various translation procedures and strategies such as addition, subtraction, transposition, borrowing, and modulation. Meaning in translation can occur on the lexical, grammatical, textual, contextual, and sociocultural levels.
Adjective phrase
The document defines and provides examples of adjective phrases in both English and Arabic. It explains that an adjective phrase is a group of words that modify or describe a noun, and can be placed before or after the noun. Examples are given such as "the very beautiful woman" and "the dog that is acting very angry". The document also discusses how Arabic adjectives follow the nouns they modify and provides examples of forming feminine adjective forms from masculine forms.

Grammatical form and grammatical function
A useful distinction in grammar is that of form and function. Grammatical form is concerned with the description of linguistic units in terms of what they are, and grammatical function is concerned with the description of what these linguistic units do. Note that we use capital letters at the beginning of function labels.
Understanding the way that form and function relate to one another has important implications for text production and comprehension, and enables students to more accurately discuss how grammatical structure relates to meaning.
