What is grammar? System (rules, that we stick to when talking) in our mind • book (English grammar); written version • branch of linguistics
Syntax The arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.
Morphology: The study of the forms of words, in particular inflected forms. E.g. management: manage (morpheme), ment (morpheme).
Inflectional (flektiert) morphology (attach suffixes for grammatical purposes; you don't get new word, just different form of same word; word formation)
Derivational (abgeleitet) morphology about creation of new words eg. To be active (add suffix, turn into noun= activity); new entry in dict.
Morpheme: A meaningful morphological unit of a language that cannot be further divided & still have a meaning(e.g. in, come, -ing, forming incoming).
Description of language grammar phonology lexicon
phonology (deals with sound structure of language) (tells you category of word)
lexicon (=vocabulary; words and idioms)
some grammarians merge grammar and lexicon (they say that they're inseparable! -->Lexico- Grammar!)
How do (descriptive) grammarians discover the regularities of a language? • Elicitation (interview) • Introspection • Corpus analysis (pl. Corpora)
collocation: the statistical tendency of words to co-occur= word partnerships (eg. To deliver/give a speech; pitch black; bitter cold)
colligation: occurrence of a lexical item with a grammatical pattern (eg. Dislike, avoid+ing-clause; decide, want + to-infinitive; typical + of-Prepositional Phrase)
Constituents word or a string of words (=phrase) which syntactically behaves as a unit in a larger construction.
Immediate constituents those that immediately make up a construction • on the table (prepositional phrase) (on=preposition; the tabe= noun phrase; also the table= immediate constituents of Noun Phrase)
hierarchical structure of sentences • morpheme (smallest unit)>word>phrase>clause>sentence (biggest unit)
Constituency Test Movement Substitution Sentence Fragment
parsing: identifying and analyzing the grammatical structure of a sentence
relationship form vs. meaning? no one to one relationship between form and meaning
Movement constituency test (3) passivization: That book was written by my favorite author. It-cleft: It was my favorite author who wrote the book. Left-dislocation: My favorite author, he wrote that book.
grammaticalization historical process whereby lexical items in the course of time acquire a new status as grammatical forms
Form vs. Meaning Form: (here: all past tense) I talked to Jenny yesterday. (ed-form is used to locate past; temporal meaning) If you told her, she'd just laugh. (this could happen; hypothetical meaning) I hoped you could help me out a little. (social meaning) → No one-to-one relationship between form and meaning!
hierarchical structure of sentences morpheme (smallest unit)>word>phrase>clause>sentence (biggest unit)
Determiner vs. Determinative Determiner: syntactic function Determinative: syntactic class
where do determinatives only occur? in Noun Phrases
