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

Abstract:

<strong>Abstract</strong> Thematization is a syntactic process that is concerned with the communicative prominence placed on a constituent in a construction. The word ‘ Ngwa’ 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 – 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

Abstract:

Introduction. The case, which is a semantic and grammatical category, appears in natural languages in the most unexpected way. A word or phrase that has a substantive unit at its core receives an inflection (internal or external) in one case or another, which can be expressed both explicitly and implicitly, and has a grammatical meaning. In this case, inflection can be accompanied by a preposition that has a lexical meaning. These case indicators, morphological and syntactic, organize the main or secondary substantive part of the sentence, i.e. are related to the category of space. The number

Interrogative sentences are deployed to perform speech acts of asking questions or making requests.

This paper provides an overview of depictive secondary predicates within the Turkish language, particularly surrounding the small clause phenomenon. These constructions function as adjuncts in the matrix clause. However, it may be difficult to distinguish between depictives and adverbial adjuncts in Turkish because of their morphosyntactic shape. Primarily, I will address the distinction between depictives and adverbial adjuncts based on studies founded by Schultze-Berndt & Himmelmann (2004) and Himmelmann & Schultze-Berndt (2006) based on a description of the depictive secondary predi

It provides a theoretical overview of the existing standpoints as for the above mentioned language phenomenon, specifying the structure of the English predicative constructions, and determining their types. Any predicative construction consists of two parts – nominal + verbal. Between the two parts of the predicative construction there is a secondary predicative relation, i.e. the relation similar to that as the subject and the predicate have.

Primary clauses serve as the foundation of a sentence, encapsulating its core idea, while subordinate clauses elaborate on and provide detailed nuances to this central concept. The subject, typically denoting the entity carrying out the action or receiving its impact, assumes prominence as the primary sentence constituent. Simultaneously, the predicate, delineating the action executed by the subject, also emerges as a piv

This study focuses on the shift from the referential function to a more pragmatic function. It studies three pairs of expressions in German and French: glatt / carrément; schließlich / finalement; tu vois / siehst du and écoute / hör (mal). The word ‘fixedness’ is not used here as it is in the phraseological tradition (and within Europhras). Indeed, in this paper it designates the form
