Abstract:
This research is an analysis of minimalist syntactic complexity in the syntactic structures of secondary-level students of government schools. It highlights the null constituents in the syntactic structures of students writing in annual examinations. It also finds the occurrences of null constituents in the written syntactic structures of the students. For this purpose, the researchers selected ten government high schools [male students] of district Mardan. In this research, a hundred samples of attempted answer sheets of English paper (class 9 and 10) were collected through a random sampling

<strong>Abstract</strong> Thematization is a syntactic process that is concerned with the communicative prominence placed on a constituent in a construction. The word &lsquo; Ngwa&rsquo; refers to the people and the geo-poloitical area known as Ngwa land. The Ngwa people are found in Abia Statein the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Some of the objectives of this paper are: to demonstrate communicative dynamism through the use of marked structures and to show the various ways by which communicative prominence is achieved in the Ngwa &ndash; Igbo through the syntactic processes of Left-dislocation,

Abstract:
Abstract In this article, we explore the conditions under which prima facie adjectival adjuncts projected as depictive modifiers inside verbal phrases allow extraction. Building on the analysis of gerund clauses proposed in Fábregas and Jiménez-Fernández (in press), we argue that their empirical behaviour shows that, whenever these adjectival constituents license extraction, they are projections of PathP that form a verbal complex with the verb inside a single syntactic domain. This forces the conclusion that adjunct adjectives must be projected as PathPs, and in the last part of the paper we

Abstract:
A recent survey of existing syntactic models shows that none accurately describes the syntax of the English languagethat people actually use and that they inhibit rather than promote knowledge of natural language by creating a gapbetween what should be taught and learned and what obtains. To demonstrate this gap, this paper critically examinesfour recommended senior secondary school English course books to determine the extent to which they reflectexisting syntactic models’ descriptive inadequacies, and highlights the implications for language education inNigeria.

Abstract:
Some syntactic approaches to argument structure posit small clause constituents to represent what they take to be the semantics of the constructions being analyzed. For example, this approach would analyze a resultative construction like Martha hammered the metal flat as containing a small clause [the metal flat]. In the small clause analysis, the NP the metal is only an argument of the result state denoted by the small clause, and its referent is not part of the causal hammering event. Depictive secondary predicates show that this analysis is incorrect; the NP referent must be part of the ver

Abstract:
In many formal theories of grammar, pairs of expressions such as the active and the passive are treated as variants of each other — the passive typically being a secondary construction derived from the active by operations that change the syntactic structure. Recent accounts based on Cognitive Grammar and Construction Grammar have questioned the validity of such an analysis, arguing that these “variants” are actually independent constructions with their own usage conditions and meaning. An important piece of evidence comes from so-called split constituents, discussed by Croft (2001: 191), who

Abstract:
Long-distance dependencies are a major property of human language, deriving from the successive application of movement operations across sentences. Nevertheless, this possibility seems to be restricted by the presence of barriers, which ‘trap’ constituents in more or less 'resistant' syntactic islands. Given this scenario, this paper paper investigates a specific type of island, namely factive complements, which are traditionally considered ‘weak’ islands. The main goal is thus to verify the status of factive islands in Italian, based on original experimental data. Moreover, since island effe

Цель статьи – выявление и описание функционально-семантических и структурных особенностей конструкций с однородными членами предложения, наличествующих в текстах карачаево-балкарского нартского эпоса. Актуальность исследования детерминируется тем, что исследование синтаксических характеристик эпических текстов сопряжено с природой собственно языка устного народного творчества, которому традиционно отводится особая роль в становлении национального языка,

Abstract:
The article considers the categorical nature of the numeral as a part of speech from the standpoint of the theory of representation. Language representation enables the author to identify and describe primary and secondary syntactic functions exemplified by cognitive communicative and discursive forms. They demonstrate different degrees of the quantitative attribute manifestation in terms of its completeness and intensity in various forms of the numeral. Major means of its representation have been revealed and characterized: in the main syntactical position – a constituent of numerical (cardin

Abstract:
The adpositional system of the Uralic languages reflects the implications and inheritance of SOV word order and the syntactic sphere of inflectional forms. Most Uralic languages only use postpositions or syntactically corresponding relational nouns, whereas the north-western branches, namely Saamic and Finnic, have both postpositions and prepositions. There are two major aspects constraining the diversity of adpositional phrase (AdpP) in Uralic. Firstly, the order of the constituents is one of the basic typological parameters. Secondly, the morphosyntactic structure of AdpPs yields considerabl
