This document discusses syntactic analysis and syntax. It defines syntax as the rules for arranging words into sentences in a language. Syntactic analysis involves breaking down sentences into constituents such as phrases and labeling them. Sentences can be analyzed at multiple levels from the sentence level down to the morpheme level. Different representations are used for syntactic structure including bracketing, labeled bracketing, and tree diagrams. Tree diagrams provide a visual representation of a sentence's phrase structure and hierarchical constituent structure.

MATATAG CURRICULUM: ASSESSING THE READINESS OF ELEM. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS I...NelTorrente
In this research, it concludes that while the readiness of teachers in Caloocan City to implement the MATATAG Curriculum is generally positive, targeted efforts in professional development, resource distribution, support networks, and comprehensive preparation can address the existing gaps and ensure successful curriculum implementation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. 1.1
• In linguistics, syntax is the rules of a language that
show how the words of that language are to be
arranged to make a sentence of that language.
So…
So
• It is the study of how words are combined
together to form sentences.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 2
3. Syntactic analysis may be defined as:
1- determining the relevant components
of a sentence
2- describing these parts grammatically.
•The component parts of a sentence are
called constituents.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 3
4. ‘SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS’ involves two related
tasks:
(a) breaking down the sentence into its
constituents
(b) labeling each constituent, stating what type
(form)of constituent it is, and what
grammatical function it has.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 4
5. •Every sentence can be analyzed at five distinct levels:
sentence−
1. the sentence− level, level
2. the clause−level, clause−level
3. the phrase−level,
4. the word−level, and phrase−level
5. The morpheme −level. word−level
morpheme −level
TOP TO BOTTOM ANALYSIS
• This is called the rank scale.
• SENTENCE ↔ CLAUSE ↔ PHRASE ↔
WORD ↔ MORPHEME
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 5
6. 1.2 Representing Sentence Structure
We can represent the categorical constituent structure of the sentence
in terms of brackets/ labeled brackets / tree diagram.
• Analyzing the following sentence:
“The snake killed the rat and swallowed it”
(1a) First level: Sentence level
[ The snake killed the rat and swallowed it]
(1b) Second level: Clause level
[ [The snake killed the rat] and [swallowed it]]
(1c) Third level: Phrase level
[ [[The snake] [killed [the rat ]]] and [[swallowed [it]]]]
(1d)Forth level: Word level
[[[[ The] [snake]] [[killed ] [[the][ rat ]]]] [and] [[[swallowed ] [[it]]]]]
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 6
7. II. Labeled Bracketing
(1a)
[ s1The snake killed the rat and swallowed it ]
(1b)
[ s1 [s2 The snake killed the rat ] and [ s3 (it )swallowed it ]]
(1c)
[s1 [s2 [ NP The snake ] [ VP killed [ NP the rat ]]] and [[s3
[NP(it )] [VP swallowed [NP it ]]]]
(1d)
[s1 [s2 [ NP[ Det The] [ N snake]]
[VP[ V killed ] [ NP[ Det
the][N rat ]]]] [ coord and] [s [NP [Det (it )] [VP [V
3
swallowed ] [NP [Det it]]]]]

8. III. Tree Diagram
•A Tree Diagram provides a visual presentation of the
categorical constituent structure of the sentence.
•It shows us how a sentence is structured out of its
constituent phrases, and how each of the phrases is
structured out of its component words, and also it
provides a visual presentation of the phrase structure
of the sentence.
•it marks the hierarchical grouping of words into
phrases, and phrases into sentences.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 8
9. The tree consists of :
•a root S (at the TOP of the tree)
•nodes indicating categories ( NP, VP, Det, N, V)
•and terminal nodes or leaves (the words at the
bottom)
Trees thus tell us two things:
•The linear order of the words in a sentence;
•The hierarchical or constituent structure of a
sentence .
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 9
11. In the above diagram:
•the node S1 ( the whole sentence)
•S1 has three branches,
• It expanded as two nodes labeled S2 and S3
coordinated by and. S2 is expanded in two branches
as NP - VP.
•S3 is expanded as NP – VP.
• VP is expanded in two branches as V- NP.
•NP is expanded in two branches as Det- N.
•Det, N, and V are terminal nodes attached to words
(i.e. lexical items)
•Whereas NP, VP, S are non-terminal nodes.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 11
12. Trees and Phrase Structure Rules
What trees are really doing is representing the phrase structure
rules that make up an important part of syntax. On the top of the
tree there is an S (for sentence node that dominates two sister
nodes, an NP and a VP). This is just the way of drawing a basic
phrase structure rule that says that a sentence consists of a Noun
Phrase followed by a Verb Phrase, a rule which can be drawn as a
tree or equally written this way:
•S NP VP (read this as S consists of NP followed by VP)
•Two more rules are needed to finish characterizing the tree:
•NP Det N
•VP V NP
With these three rules we've characterized this tree of the
mentioned example.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 12
13. The arrows mean : ‘expand’ or
PS rules: ‘rewrite’ X as Y ( where X represents
any element on the left of the arrow,
S S- coord-S and Y any element on the on the
right). The curly brackets indicate
S NP-VP that NP may be expanded or
rewritten as either Det-N or N.
NP Det-N
N
VP V-NP
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 13
14. Representing Constituency in Phrase-markers
(Tree Diagrams)
Mother, sister, daughter:
A ("mother" of B and C)
B C
("daughter" of A and "sister" of B)
("daughter" of A and "sister" of C)
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 14
15. The most general example of the MOTHER-DAUGHTER-SISTER
configuration:
Sentence, subject, predicate:
S
NP VP
(Subject) (Predicate)
•The subject tells us who or what.
•The predicate tells us what about it.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 15
16. A CONCRETE IMAGE OF HOW SENTENCES WORK
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 16
17. FORM (category).
'S' (for Sentence), 'NP' (Noun Phrase), and 'VP' (Verb Phrase)
are formal labels. They refer to the syntactic category of the
constituents of the sentence.
FUNCTION.
'Subject' and 'predicate' are functional labels. In the above
diagram they tell us how the NP and the VP are functioning in
the structure of the sentence. Not all Noun Phrases function
as subjects. Noun Phrases (NPs) have several different
functions.
Dr. Shadia Yousef Banjar 17
18. Some examples of the relation between Subject and Predicate
in sentence structure:
S
NP VP
