This document discusses English syntax and sentence structure. It defines key terms like subject, predicate, clauses, and different sentence types. The main points covered are:
- Every sentence has a subject and predicate.
- There are 4 types of sentences: declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory.
- Sentences can be simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex depending on the number and types of clauses.
- Clauses are either independent or dependent based on whether they express a complete thought on their own.
This document discusses syntax, which is the study of grammatical relations between words and other units within sentences. It covers topics such as word order, sentence formation, syntactic categories, phrase structure rules, and sentence structure. Syntax examines the rules that govern how words can be combined to form meaningful sentences in different languages and how these rules can vary between languages, dialects, time periods, and social groups.
This document provides an introduction to syntax from a lecture given at the University of Aden. It begins by discussing related linguistic concepts like grammar and morphology. Grammar is defined as the mental representation of a speaker's linguistic competence, while morphology examines word structure and formation. Syntax is then defined as the study of how words are combined in an orderly manner to form phrases, clauses and sentences. The goals of syntax are outlined, such as illustrating patterns of language and analyzing sentence structure. The document concludes by noting that syntax establishes rules based on traditional grammar and requires recalling information over time.
This document discusses semantics and the study of meaning from a linguistic perspective. It covers key topics such as:
- What semantics is and its relationship to linguistics, philosophy and psychology
- Major theories of meaning including the naming theory, conceptualist view, contextualism, and behaviorism
- Lexical meaning and sense relations like synonymy, polysemy, and antonymy
- Analyzing meaning through componential analysis and predication analysis of sentences
- Assignments for students to complete related to revising exercises on semantics and meaning
This document discusses prosodic features of speech, including:
- Utterances with different numbers of syllables as examples
- The presence or absence of pitch accents (tonic syllables) in utterances
- Marking the positions of pitch accents and heads/tails in example utterances
- Finding the most prominent/tonic syllable in example tone units
This document discusses wh-movement in language syntax. It defines wh-expressions as interrogative words like what, when, where, etc. Wh-movement refers to these expressions moving into the specifier position of the CP constituent. The CP comprises a head (C) and TP complement. Wh-expressions originate as verb complements and move to the front of the clause, preceding any inverted auxiliary. Wh-movement moves maximal projections and acts to satisfy the EPP feature of C, driving movement to the specifier of CP. Only one wh-expression can be preposed in multiple wh-questions due to the attract closest principle.
Intonation refers to variations in pitch when speaking and helps convey meaning. It has several key components including pitch, sentence stress, and rhythm. Intonation patterns differ between languages like English and Ukrainian. In English, falling intonation is most common and used for statements while rising intonation expresses questions, lists, and lack of certainty. Ukrainian uses rising and falling intonation differently, with pitch changes occurring on accented syllables. Speakers must be careful not to transfer intonation patterns from their native language when speaking English.
The document discusses sentence stress in English. The main points are:
1. Sentence stress refers to emphasizing certain words within a sentence, giving the sentence rhythm.
2. Words in a sentence can be classified as either content words, which carry the main meaning, or structure words, which are less important grammatically. Content words receive stress while structure words are unstressed.
3. The time between stressed content words should remain constant to maintain the rhythm of English speech. Structure words can be said more quickly or slowly to achieve this constant rhythm.

This document discusses various aspects of suprasegmental phonology including terminology, features, syllables, syllable structure, rhythm, stress, prominence, tone languages, intonation and word accent. Some key points include:
- Suprasegmentals refer to aspects of sound such as intonation that are not properties of individual segments. Features include pitch, loudness, tempo, rhythm and stress.
- A syllable contains a vowel and may contain consonants. Syllables are divided into onset, nucleus and coda.
- Rhythm is a pattern of accented and unaccented syllables. Accented syllables are more prominent due to factors like volume, duration and pitch. Prominence can affect
This document discusses discourse and the role of knowledge and schemata in discourse analysis. It defines discourse as language used in a social context and explains that discourse analysts study both written and spoken texts to understand relationships between participants, their goals, and contextual factors. It also discusses how schemata (preexisting knowledge structures) allow communication to be efficient by enabling understanding without explicit details. Relevance theory holds that information is relevant if it interacts with existing assumptions to strengthen or contradict them. Miscommunication can occur if people have mismatched schemata or make false assumptions about shared knowledge.
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.
This document discusses the functions of intonation in speech. It covers tone units, boundaries, and syllables. It examines different intonation patterns and their uses to express attitudes, provide emphasis, and convey grammatical information. Rising, falling, fall-rise and rise-fall tones have different meanings. Intonation helps with discourse by signaling new vs given information. However, intonation patterns are not obligatory and can be difficult to generalize.
Stress in linguistics refers to giving extra force to certain syllables when speaking. In English, some syllables are pronounced with greater force and are considered stressed. The level of stress can be primary, secondary, or unstressed. Primary stress is given to the most prominent syllable, while secondary stress is weaker. Some words have variable stress that changes depending on whether the word is by itself or in a sentence. The placement of stress helps determine meaning and the structure of sentences.
Phrase structure grammar was introduced by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s as an evolution of Immediate Constituent Analysis. Phrase structure grammars use rewrite rules to break down linguistic units like sentences into constituent parts such as noun phrases and verb phrases. The rewrite rules represent how morphemes are organized into words, words into phrases, and phrases into sentences. Phrase structure grammars have an advantage over older models as they incorporate labels into rewrite rules and allow rules to be applied sequentially to generate terminal strings.
This document provides an overview of syntax and generative grammar. It defines syntax as the way words are arranged to show relationships of meaning within and between sentences. 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. It distinguishes between deep structure and surface structure. Tree diagrams are used to represent syntactic structures with symbols like S, NP, VP. Phrase structure rules, lexical rules, and movement rules are discussed. Complement phrases and recursion are also explained.
Syntax is the study of sentence structure and the rules for constructing sentences, while grammar refers more broadly to the rules of a language, including syntax and morphology. Syntax examines what words go where in a sentence and the relationships between them. Grammar sets the standard for correct usage of a language through rules governing areas like agreement between words. Traditional grammar describes syntactic structures through categories like nouns and verbs, while generative grammar aims to provide rules for predicting grammatical sentences in a language.
Intonation refers to the pitch patterns used in speech. It is how we say things rather than what we say, and without intonation it is impossible to understand expressions and thoughts conveyed through words. Intonation patterns group words into tone units that package information and convey attitudes. The placement of stress and pitch movement within and between tone units is important for meaning.
The document discusses several processes of word formation in English including derivation, compounding, blending, clipping, acronyms, morphological reanalysis, borrowings, and back formation. Specifically, it provides examples of how new words can be created through adding affixes to existing words, combining words, shortening words, using initial letters to form pronounceable new words, reanalyzing word structures, adopting words from other languages, and extracting root words from existing complex words.
This document discusses open class words, specifically nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. It provides definitions and examples of each part of speech. Nouns can be common or proper, count or non-count. Verbs can be regular, irregular, transitive or intransitive. Adjectives modify nouns and can occur before or after the noun. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs and usually end in "-ly". Open class words are content words that can be freely added to the language.

The document defines compounding as combining two or more words to create a new word, such as blackboard. Compound words can be written as one word, hyphenated, or as separate words. The meaning of a compound word is often different than the individual meanings of its parts. Compound words in English can take various forms depending on whether they are noun compounds, verb compounds, adjective compounds, or other types. The document also discusses different classifications of compounds such as endocentric, exocentric, copulative, and appositional compounds.
This document provides an overview of stylistics as an academic field of study. It discusses the historical development of stylistics from the study of elocution in the early 20th century to its modern conceptualization. Stylistics is described as the linguistic study of style in texts and draws on various subfields of linguistics. The document outlines several branches of stylistics including functional, individual style study, stylistics of decoding, and literary stylistics. It also defines key concepts in stylistics including the notion of norm, stylistic function, stylistic coloring, context, and expressive and imaginative means of language.
The document discusses different verb forms used with common expressions involving wishes, preferences, hypothetical situations, and the passage of time. It explains that "wish + past simple" expresses wishes that have not come true, "wish + would/could" refers to general future wishes, and "wish + past perfect" refers to past regrets. It also outlines the similar uses of "if only" and how "it's time" refers to present or future actions that should have happened earlier.
The document discusses various lexical semantic relationships between words including synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, prototypes, homophones, homonyms, polysemy, metonymy, and collocation. It provides examples and explanations of each relationship, noting how words can be related through meaning, pronunciation, or common association. Understanding these relationships is important for analyzing how meaning is constructed in text.
This document outlines 12 common word formation processes in English: 1) coinage, 2) borrowing, 3) compounding, 4) blending, 5) clipping, 6) acronyms, 7) abbreviations, 8) backformation, 9) conversion, 10) paired word sound play, 11) scale change, and 12) multiple processes. It provides examples to illustrate each process and notes that most words are formed through combining multiple processes.
The document contains examples and exercises on morphology from different languages. It covers topics like [1] estimating vocabulary size and identifying morphemes in English words, [2] rules of noun formation and verb conjugation in languages like Zulu, Dutch, and Swahili, [3] examples of morphological processes like reduplication in Samoan, and [4] distinguishing real words from non-words. The exercises aim to build skills in morphological analysis across multiple languages.
This document provides an overview of key grammar concepts including parts of speech, sentence structure types, punctuation rules, issues with run-ons and fragments, verb tense agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and transitive/intransitive verbs. It defines each concept and provides examples. The document is intended as a reference for students to learn English grammar.
This document provides an overview of various grammar topics including parts of speech, sentence structure, punctuation, run-ons and fragments, verb tense agreement, pronoun-antecedent agreement, transitive/intransitive verbs, and notorious confusables. It begins with definitions and examples of the core parts of speech and then covers more complex topics like sentence types, punctuation rules, identifying and correcting errors, and agreement. The document serves as a grammar reference guide for an 11th grade English class.

This document provides information about different types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. It defines what constitutes each type of sentence based on the number of independent and dependent clauses. For simple sentences, it notes they contain one independent clause. Compound sentences contain two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions. Complex sentences have one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Compound-complex sentences contain at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Examples are given for each sentence type to illustrate their structures. Transitional words and phrases to connect sentences are also discussed.
The document discusses different types of phrases and clauses that make up sentences. It defines phrases as groups of words that function as a single part of speech but cannot stand alone as a complete thought. There are several types of phrases discussed, including prepositional phrases, participial phrases, gerund phrases, and noun phrases. It also defines clauses as groups of words with both a subject and verb, and distinguishes between independent clauses that express a complete thought and dependent clauses that do not. Finally, it discusses the four main structures of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
This document defines and provides examples of simple, compound, and complex sentences.
[1] A simple sentence contains a subject and predicate and can stand alone as a complete thought. A compound sentence joins two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction like "and, but, or." A complex sentence contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses joined by a subordinating conjunction.
[2] The document provides examples of each sentence type and identifies their key elements and structures. It also defines common coordinating conjunctions like FANBOYS and subordinating conjunctions represented by the acronym AAAWWUBIS. Compound-complex sentences combine elements of compound and complex sentences.

2. What is ENGLISH SYNTAX?
"Sentence structure may ultimately be composed of many
parts, but remember that the foundation of each sentence
is the subject and the predicate. The subject is a word or
a group of words that functions as a noun; the predicate is
at least a verb and possibly includes objects and modifiers
of the verb."(Lara Robbins, Grammar and Style at Your Fingertips. Alpha Books, 2007)
In English grammar, sentence structure is the arrangement
of words, phrases, and clauses in a sentence
In English, the same set of words can convey different
meanings if they are arranged in different ways
3. Subject and Predicate
Every complete sentence contains two parts:
a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or
whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate
tells something about the subject.
In the following sentences, the predicate is enclosed
in braces ({}), while the subject is underlined
Judy {runs}.
Judy and her dog {run on the beach every morning}.
4. Four Types of Sentences in English
Language:
Declarative sentence
Imperative sentence
Interrogative sentence
Exclamatory sentence
5. And there are only three punctuation
marks with which to end a sentence:
Period
Question mark
Exclamation point
6. Declarative sentence:
simply makes a statement or expresses an
opinion
“I want to be a good writer.” (makes a statement)
“My friend is a really good writer.” (expresses an
opinion)
9. Exclamatory sentence:
a sentence that expresses great
emotion such as excitement, surprise,
happiness and anger
It is too dangerous to climb that mountain !
I got an A on my book report !
10. Clause part of a sentence that has
a subject and a predicate
dependent clause
independent clause
11. INDEPENDENT CLAUSE contains a
subject, a verb, and a complete thought
I wrote my first novel last year
DEPENDENT CLAUSE contains a subject
and a verb, but no complete thought
After I wrote my first novel last year
12. 1. John did his homework before he
went to bed.
2. We will do whatever is
necessary.
3. You may play outside until the
street lights come on.
4. I was very happy; I had pizza and
ice cream.
13. There are four main sentence structures
in the English language:
simple sentence
compound sentence
complex sentence
compound-complex
14. SIMPLE SENTENCE one independent
clause; contains a subject and a verb
Tom reads novels.
Tom and Harry reads novels. (compound subject)
Tom and Harry read and enjoys novels and newspapers.(compound subject,
verb, direct object)
FORMULA:
S = I
15. COMPOUND SENTENCE has two independent
clauses joined by
a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet,
so) FANBOYS BOAS
• Roy waited for the train, but the train was late.
a conjunctive adverb (e.g. however, therefore, or)
• Tom reads novels; however, Jack reads comics
a semicolon alone
• Tom reads novels; his friend reads comics.
FORMULA:
Cd = II
16. COMPLEX SENTENCE contains an
independent clause and at least one
dependent clause
joined by a subordinating conjunction such as
'however, after, although, as, because’
I really didn’t like the play although the acting was very good.
FORMULA:
Cx = I & D
17. After they left on the bus, Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at
the train station
When the dependent clause comes first, a comma
should be used to separate the two clauses.
Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station after they
left on the bus.
When the independent clause comes first, a comma
should not be used to separate the two clauses.
18. COMPOUND COMPLEX SENTENCE has one
complex sentence joined to a simple sentence with a
conjunction.
complex and simple sentences may be joined by a
coordinating conjunction(FANBOYS) or conjunctive
adverbs
joined by a correlative conjunctions
• He is not only intelligent, but also very funny.
• Jn is neither rich nor famous.
FORMULA:
Cd Cx = II & D
19. My father and I went to the movie that I had been wanting to see,
and then we went to the restaurant near the theater.
My father and I went to the movie [independent]
+ then we went to the restaurant near the theater [independent]
+ I had been wanting to see that (dependent)
= compound-complex sentence
20. Identify each sentence as complex or compound-complex
1. Before you leave for school , you need to make sure you have your lunch.
2. We can put together the puzzle, which Aunt Lucy brought, or we can play the board game that was in the closet.
3. Roy didn’t want to get wet, but when his sister pushed her into the pool, she didn’t have a choice.
Decide whether each group of words is a clause or not a clause
1. Under the bed or in the closet
2. Michael was not listening in class today
Decide if each clause is independent or dependent
1. While we were listening to the concert
2. One car seemed to go much faster than the other
3. When my dog finally stopped barking
Choose the best answer to complete each sentence
1. Have you made a decision about _______ to go to the movies _______ not? (Either/or, Whether/or, What with /
and, If / then)
2. This salad is _______ delicious _______ healthy. (Whether/or, Both/and, Rather/than)
Editor's Notes
A sentence is a grammatical unit consisting of one or more words that bear minimal syntactic relation to the words that precede or follow it, expresses a thought in the form of a statement, question, instruction, or exclamation, which starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop when written.
To determine the subject of a sentence, first isolate the verb and then make a question by placing "who?" or "what?" before it -- the answer is the subject
Using different types of sentences and punctuation, students can vary the tone of their writing assignments and express a variety of thoughts and emotions.
Learning about the different types of sentences and punctuation will help students become better writers by enabling them to convey various types of information and emotion in their writing.
In other words, it makes a declaration. This kind of sentence ends with a period.
It usually ends with a period but can, under certain circumstances, end with an exclamation point.
This type of sentence often begins with who, what,
where, when, why, how, or do, and it ends with a question mark.
and ends with an exclamation point.
One way to categorize sentences is by the clauses they contain.
(A clause is a part of a sentence containing a subject and a predicate.)
Sentence Structure may be one of four kinds, depending upon the number and type(s) of clauses it contains
An independent clause can stand alone as a separate sentence and does not start with a subordinator.
An independent clause is a clause that contains three things:
A subject (something or someone that the sentence is about)
An action (a verb - something that is being done)
A complete thought (there are no questions as to meaning at the end of the sentence)
A dependent clause is combined with an independent clause to make a longer sentence.
Please remember that a dependent clause is not considered a complete thought and
cannot be a sentence by itself. A dependent clause is a sentence fragment if it is not
connected to an independent clause
Dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence, but they can be added to an independent clause to form a complex sentence.
Decide if the red words form a dependent or independent clause.
Independent
Dependent
dependent
2 independent
In other words, a simple sentence is one complete thought.
Punctuation note: NO commas separate two compound elements
(subject, verb, direct object, indirect object, subjective complement, etc.) in a simple sentence.
A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses
An independent clause is a clause that contains three things:
A subject (something or someone that the sentence is about)
An action (a verb - something that is being done)
A complete thought (there are no questions as to meaning at the end of the sentence)
Coordinator There are seven coordinators in the English Language:
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS are: but, or, and, so. Remember: boas For And Nor But Or Yet So FANBOYS to help you remember the seven coordinators.
When you have two independent clauses joined by one of these coordinators, that is a compound sentence. Usually a comma is required, before the coordinator.
A CONJUNCTION is a part of speech that connects phrases and clauses.
conjunctive adverb is a type of adverb that joins together two clauses. These clauses are usually independent clauses, otherwise known as complete sentences.
complex sentence, which is an independent clause that is joined with a dependent clause
A dependent clause starts with a SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION. Examples: that, because, while, although, where, if.)
SAMPLE- after although as because before even though if since though unless until when whenever whereas wherever while
As / as, Both / and, Either / or,Hardly / when, If / then, Just as / so, Neither / nor, Not only / but also, No sooner / than, Not / but, Rather / than, Scarcely / when
What with / and, Whether / or
