The document discusses the syntactic structure of sentences and noun phrases (NPs). It defines key terms like clause, subject, and verb phrase (VP). It analyzes the relationship between verbs and objects vs subjects and verbs. Based on tests of replacement and modification, it determines that verbs have a closer relationship with objects than subjects. Therefore, the VP contains the verb and its object NP. The document also examines the internal structure of NPs, introducing rules to account for determiners, adjectives, possessives, prepositional phrases, and pronouns.

Voices
The document discusses active and passive voice in English grammar. It provides examples of how to change sentences from active to passive voice by using forms of the verb "to be" plus the past participle of the main verb. For example, changing from "The hunter killed the tiger" to passive voice "The tiger was killed by the hunter." The document also gives exercises asking the reader to change sentences between active and passive voice using tenses like simple present, present continuous, and past perfect.
The verb phrase
The document summarizes six classes of verb phrases:
1. Transitive verbs require a direct object.
2. Intransitive verbs do not take an object.
3. Ditransitive verbs require two objects - a direct object and an indirect object.
4. Intensive verbs include verbs like be, seem, appear, and become.
5. Complex-transitive verbs have an object complement in addition to a direct object.
6. Prepositional verbs require a prepositional phrase to be complete.
Case theory
This document discusses Case Theory and Binding Theory within the framework of Government and Binding Theory. It provides three key points:
1. Case Theory explains how case is assigned in sentences, distinguishing between structural case assigned by verbs and prepositions, and inherent case assigned to specific arguments. Principles of Case Theory like the Case Filter ensure DPs receive case.
2. Binding Theory defines the distribution of anaphors, pronouns, and R-expressions based on their binding properties and principles of locality. It interacts with movement and empty categories left by movement.
3. Together, Case Theory and Binding Theory are part of the overall GB model and operate at a representational level beyond D-structure and S

Advance english 3[1]
This document outlines the 10 basic sentence patterns in English based on the type and function of verbs. There are 3 verb of being patterns using forms of "to be" as the main verb. Two patterns use linking verbs like "seem" followed by an adjective or noun. The remaining 5 patterns use action verbs that can be transitive or intransitive, taking direct objects or not. Key terms like NP, V-be, and numbers are used to identify different parts of each sentence structure.

The document discusses different types or classes of verbs in English, including transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, ditransitive verbs, intensive verbs, complex-transitive verbs, prepositional verbs, and imperative verbs. For each verb type, it provides examples, rules for their verb phrases, and tree diagrams to illustrate their syntactic structure.
Adverb and adverb phrase.2pptx
Adverbs and adverb phrases provide additional information about the circumstances of manner, time, or place of a verb, answering questions like how, when, or where. Adverb phrases can modify verbs, adjectives, and entire sentences. Degree adverbs like "very" modify or limit the sense of another adverb, while sentence adverbs like "unfortunately" can appear in different positions in a sentence and express an attitude or evaluation.
Active and Passive Voice
This document defines the active and passive voices, provides examples of each, and outlines steps for converting between the two voices. Specifically, it states that the active voice features the subject performing the action of the verb on the object, while the passive voice has the subject receiving the action of the verb. Conversion between the voices involves moving elements like the subject and object and changing verb forms.
Syntax
The document discusses various ways of rearranging basic sentence structures in English, including cleft sentences, extraposed subjects, and existential sentences. Cleft sentences emphasize certain elements using "it" and rearranging elements into two clauses. Extraposed subjects shift the real subject to the end and replace it with "it" for emphasis. Existential sentences use "there" to assert existence and place the verb before the subject. Other rearrangements covered are left and right dislocation, inversion, and exchanging the positions of a direct object and object predicative.

Gmat Verbal Grammer
The document provides guidance on grammar rules for comparisons, tenses, conditionals, and idiomatic expressions in English. It defines the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs, and covers the simple, progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive tenses. Conditionals are divided into real and unreal types. Redundant and confusing phrases are identified along with basic rules for grammar.
The structure of arguments
The document discusses the structure of arguments in language. It defines an argument as an expression that helps complete the meaning of a predicate. Predicates take one, two, or three arguments to form a predicate-argument structure. An adjunct is an optional part of a sentence that does not affect the sentence if removed. Valency theory explores the nature of predicates, arguments, and adjuncts. Transitivity relates to whether a verb can take direct objects and how many. Selectional properties determine the semantic content of a predicate's arguments. Theta theory assigns thematic roles like agent and patient to arguments.
Subject and object pronouns
This document discusses subject and object pronouns, as well as direct and indirect objects. It defines subject pronouns as replacing nouns in subject position and object pronouns as replacing nouns in object position. Examples are provided of sentences with subjects and objects that are replaced with pronouns. The document then discusses how some sentences have both direct and indirect objects, with the direct object answering "what" and the indirect object answering "to whom." Practice examples are provided for identifying subjects, direct objects, and indirect objects, as well as replacing them with pronouns.
Week 2.2 syntax cont.
This document discusses syntax and generative grammar. It introduces the concepts of deep structure and surface structure. Sentences can have different surface forms but the same deep structure. Ambiguity can occur when a sentence has distinct underlying interpretations that must be represented differently in deep structure. Recursion allows rules to be applied repeatedly, generating longer sentences. Complement phrases use the word "that" to introduce clauses. Transformational rules can take parts of sentences and attach them in different places. The document provides exercises analyzing syntactic structures and ambiguities.
Semantic pragmatic
This document discusses different types of clauses that can be used in sentences. It defines clauses as sentences embedded within other sentences and provides examples of full clauses, question clauses, infinitive clauses, gerund clauses, and non-factual clauses. It also discusses verbal nouns, comparing different clause types, syntactic ambiguity, and sources of ambiguity including ellipsis, coordination, and modifier placement.
Presentation1
The document discusses different types of clauses that can be used in sentences, including full clauses, reduced clauses, and non-factual clauses. Full clauses have a subject pronoun and can be modified fully by verbs. Reduced clauses lack these characteristics. Non-factual clauses use modal verbs like "should" and can be ambiguous depending on whether they end in "s". The document also covers gerund clauses, verbal nouns, and syntactic ambiguity that can arise from coordination and modifiers.
Semantic & Pragmatic
This document discusses various linguistic concepts related to aspect, including:
- Stative and dynamic predicates, with stative predicates expressing enduring states and dynamic predicates expressing events or changes of state.
- Telic and atelic predicates, with telic predicates having inherent endpoints and atelic predicates lacking endpoints.
- Grammatical expressions of aspect in English, including the prospective (to + verb), perfect (have + past participle), and progressive (-ing form) aspects.
- Other aspectual categories like ingressive (beginning of a state), continuative, and egressive (ending of a state).
The document provides examples for each concept and examines how aspect is expressed both lexically and
Phrase structure rule
Phrase structure rules regulate the arrangement of elements that make up phrases. The rules stipulate the position of specifiers, heads, and complements for noun phrases (NP), verb phrases (VP), adjective phrases (AP), and prepositional phrases (PP). For example, an NP can consist of a determiner, noun, and prepositional phrase complement, or just a determiner and noun. Phrases may contain various combinations of specifiers, heads, and complements.
Constituents and phrases
This document discusses constituents and phrases. It defines a phrase as a syntactic arrangement consisting of parts, usually two constituents. Examples of phrases and their constituents are provided, such as "the man" with constituents "the" and "man". Phrases can contain other phrases as constituents to form hierarchical structures. Noun phrases are discussed in detail, including their possible constituents like determiners, adjectives, prepositional phrases, relative clauses, and appositives. The ordering and functions of different types of constituents in noun phrases are explained through numerous examples.
Enlish
The document provides an overview of key concepts in English grammar, including:
1) Grammar applies rules for standard use of words and how their component parts combine to form sentences. It also classifies and analyzes language elements.
2) Sentences are formed from groups of words and have a subject and predicate. There are four types of sentences.
3) Verbs express actions or states of being and tense indicates when these occur.

Stori blong man we hemi sutum mun - a Bislama tale
Kalori saw the big round moon one night and decided to shoot it down with his bow and arrows. He shot several arrows that stuck into each other, forming a chain that reached all the way to the moon. When he climbed the chain, he met an old man on the moon. The next day, they went to the moon's garden and gathered yams. The old man helped Kalori return to earth by throwing the basket of yams down a chain of arrows. Kalori shared the yams with his village, and soon yams were growing in every garden.
Working on the phonology of your field language
This document discusses phonemes and allophones in language phonology. It explains that phonemes are units of sound that distinguish meaning, while allophones are variant sounds that are used in place of phonemes in certain environments. The document uses examples from Japanese to show that the sounds [s] and [ʃ] are allophones of the same phoneme /s/, with [ʃ] occurring before [i] and [s] in other environments, so they are not distinct phonemes in Japanese as they are in English.
Phonetics for field methods
This document discusses consonants and introduces the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It defines consonants as sounds created by an obstruction of airflow in the mouth, in contrast to vowels which have a relatively unobstructed path. Consonants are distinguished by their voicing, manner, and place of articulation. Voicing refers to whether the vocal cords vibrate (voiced) or not (voiceless). Manner describes how the obstruction of airflow is made, such as stops which block airflow momentarily, or fricatives which create turbulence. Place indicates where in the vocal tract the obstruction occurs, such as bilabial or velar. The document provides examples of consonants in the English language and
Mise en scene analysis slideshare
This document discusses mise-en-scene analysis and its application to hip hop music videos. Mise-en-scene refers to everything within the frame of a shot or sequence of shots that can convey meaning to the viewer. It includes five domains: setting/props, costumes/appearance, facial expressions/body language, lighting/color, and positioning within the frame. The document then analyzes the 2005 music video for "The Come Up" by AZ, noting how elements of mise-en-scene like the derelict outdoor setting, naturalistic clothing, serious facial expressions, black and white coloring, and positioning contribute to constructing themes of authenticity, hip hop masculinity, and life in the streets.
We come in peace transcultural
The document discusses representations of aliens and alien languages in popular culture. It describes how the Klingon and Na'vi languages were constructed for Star Trek and Avatar, respectively, drawing on features from human languages to make them seem exotic yet learnable. Klingon uses rare sounds and grammar to emphasize alienness, while Na'vi uses familiar patterns to portray aliens as relatable. The construction of alien languages reveals human fascination with communication and understanding other intelligent beings.
Visual texts as mediated communication
War memorials serve as collective memories that shape national identities and convey messages about war. They contain visual and textual elements that tell the stories of those who sacrificed their lives in conflict. The summaries provide examples of memorials in Leningrad honoring citizens who died defending the city during World War II, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC featuring names of soldiers killed in the Vietnam War etched in stone, and Atatürk memorials in New Zealand and Australia commemorating the Gallipoli campaign and promoting peace between former enemies.

Hello my name is ...
This document discusses discourse and identity from linguistic and social perspectives. It defines discourse as the organization of language beyond the sentence level, including utterances, texts, and abstract ways of talking about topics. Spoken and written discourse are co-constructed differently. Identity is examined as how individuals understand their relationship to the world and see possibilities for the future, with recognition that identity is non-fixed and constructed through social interaction and membership. Recent social theory and constructionism view social categories and identities as choices in self-representation using language and other means, rather than rigid definitions.
Features of maaori english
The document discusses features of Māori English, a variety of New Zealand English spoken by Māori that incorporates elements of te reo Māori. Some key features include the use of discourse particles like "eh" and "y'know", high rising intonation, phonological features like TH-stopping and U-fronting, less reduction of unstressed vowels leading to a more staccato rhythm, and tag questions. The document also discusses how Māori English has a more melodic pitch pattern and rhythm influenced by the stress rules of te reo Māori, making it sound more "musical" compared to standard New Zealand English.
Reading passages 2
The document contains 5 passages about various everyday situations and events occurring in New Zealand:
1) Preparations for a party including decorations and food and drink and expecting guests to arrive by ferry in the evening.
2) Details about the location of Auckland airport being away from the city to reduce noise complaints and its underground parking facility.
3) An incident where a boy spilled a chocolate milkshake at a mall and was given a free replacement drink after cleaning it up.
4) Recapping a successful party but noting the boy got in trouble and had to leave early, and cleaning up broken glass outside before mowing the lawn.
5) Suggesting cures for Monday-itis
N z vowels
New Zealand English has developed as a unique variety of English with its own vocabulary, accent, and history. It originated from a mixing of dialects including Cockney English and other British regional accents. NZE is distinguished by its pronunciation of vowels, with shifts in vowel space and the development of new diphthongs not found in other varieties like Received Pronunciation. One such new diphthong is the pronunciation of 'me' as a two-part vowel, differing from other forms of English.
He said, she said part 2
1) The document discusses debates around gender differences in language use and dominance. It describes views that see men's language as assertive and dominant in public spheres while women's language is seen as passive and focused on private matters.
2) Alternative views see gender differences in language as socially constructed rather than innate. Differences may reflect how men and women are socialized rather than fixed biological traits.
3) More recent research calls for understanding gender as a dynamic social performance rather than a fixed category, and examining how language is used to both construct and deconstruct notions of masculinity and femininity in interaction.
He said she_saidwell[1]23
This document discusses research on gender differences in language. It examines how some languages grammatically mark gender in pronouns and how some have gender-exclusive vocabularies. It also discusses gender-preferential language and how gender has been studied from a variationist linguistic perspective. A key topic is Robin Lakoff's 1975 characterization of "women's language" as tentative, uncertain, and weak. This characterization is critiqued as proposing a deficit view of women's language based on a perceived male norm. Explanations for observed gender differences in language use are examined.
Greetings from aulua

Te reo maaori 1
- Te reo Māori is the Māori language of New Zealand. It originated from the Polynesian languages brought by the Māori people's ancestors who migrated to New Zealand around 700 years ago.
- After European contact, use of te reo Māori declined dramatically as English became dominant in education, religion, and government. By the late 19th century most Māori were monolingual English speakers.
- In the 20th century te reo Māori nearly became extinct as the language of the home and community as urbanization separated Māori from their traditional lands and cultures. However, the 1970s saw a Māori renaissance and revitalization movement
A e i o u
The document discusses vowels in Polynesian languages. It explains that vowels are made by shaping the mouth using the jaw, lips, and tongue. It presents diagrams showing the positions of vowels in the mouth. Key terms are introduced to describe vowels, such as high vs low, front vs back, and round vs spread. The five vowels of Polynesian languages /i, u, e, o, a/ are then labeled according to these terms.
Catherine
This document appears to be a collection of random words, phrases, and messages between various individuals. It includes references to people named Catherine, George, Enid, Justin, Ruth, Kiriana, and Matt Johnston. A broken lightbulb and an embarrassing movie moment are also briefly mentioned. Electrical voltages and drinking corona with lemon are discussed in a conversation between Peter Jamieson and Matt Johnston about someone named Carl dancing at a location called 4-6 volts upstairs.
The dp2
1. The document discusses the DP hypothesis, which proposes that determiners are more important than just specifier elements and that DP is a functional projection above NP.
2. It follows X-bar theory and gives NP functional architecture.
3. Evidence for functional projections above NP comes from Tok Pisin pronouns, which have functional projections between NP and DP with a morpheme head, and the pronoun moves up through these projections.
Next year
This document lists linguistics papers offered at the School of Language Studies in 2011, including paper codes, titles, prerequisites, locations, and whether they can be taken as a BA or BC.
