 Syntax                   Semantics
Syntax deals with how words are
put together to form phrases; how
phases are joined to form clauses;
and how clauses form sentences.

Syntax enables speakers to
compose complex messages in
order to communicate effectively.
UNIT ONE: HEADS AND MODIFIERS

    The head of a phrase is the word that
carries the most meaning.The head controls
       all other words in the phrase..

A modifier provides extra information about
              the head word.
                        Houses
                   These old houses
                The houses in my town

   Modifiers: complements and adjuncts
Complements are mandatory
           Adjuncts are optional
    Mark bought a car for you yesterday
                C (DO)    Ad (PP)
Heads and modifiers build different types of

                  phrases
      Noun phrase:    the large house
         Ad. phrase:      very sad
       Prep. Phrase:   in the garden
        Verb Phrase:     work hard
Phrases and Clauses

A phrase is a unit of meaning, which
 enables speakers to refer to persons,
 things, actions, events , places, times
 and other situations.
 A clause is a larger structure formed
 basically by two main constituents:
 noun phrase (subject) and verb
 phrase (predicate).
UNIT TWO: Constituent Structure
• It is the way words form larger structures
  showing meaning.
• A constituent is a word or string of words
  expressing meaning.
   The Ecuadorian tropical forest has a
            rich variety of animals
• NP: Ecuadorian tropical forest
• VP: has a rich variety of animals
1. Transposition.
Constituents can be moved from one
position in the clause to another
without altering meaning.
      Last Sunday, I went to the church
       I went to the church last Sunday
2. Substitution

It shows that a single word can substitute for a string
  of words hanging together as a constituent.
           We put the books on the desk
               We put the books there
3. Ellipsis
It deletes the second occurrence of
the same constituent when two
clauses are joined by the
conjunction ‘and’.

•My dog killed a rat
•My dog ate the rat
•My dog killed a rat and ate it
God bless you

 Thank you
