3、 just for tests,Introduction,Grammatical Hierarchy(,语法层次,),Grammar is the structural system of a language.The grammar of the English language is organized into five ranks.Each rank is composed of one or more than one grammatical unit of the immediate lower rank.,Grammatical Hierarchy,Sentence is the
4、 highest rank of grammatical unit while the morpheme is the minimum or lowest rank.A full sentence can generally be segmented rank by rank down to its smallest units-the morphemes,e.g.,What are these letters standing for?,N:noun(book,student,table),NP:noun phrase,VP:verb phrase,PP:prepositional phra
5、se,Mv:main verb(take,buy,lend,visit),Aux:auxiliary(be,do have,can,should),Det:determiner(the,a,this,that,his),Adv:adverb(quickly,sadly,strongly),Adj:adjective(kind,warm,beautiful),Prep:preposition(in,at on,above),Morphemes(,词素,),Morpheme is the minimum or smallest grammatical unit,also the smallest
6、meaningful element of speech.,Morphemes fall into two categories:,free morphemes,(,自由词素,),bound morphemes,(粘附词素),Free morphemes vs Bound morphemes,A free morpheme,has a complete meaning and can stand by itself as a simple word,e.g.,boy,girl,book,desk,shop,teach,good,kind,friend,(,Derivative and comp
7、ound word,),Bound morphemes,are mostly affixes.They are also meaningful,but the meaning is not complete in itself unless it is attached to some other form.Therefore,a bound morpheme can not stand by itself,it only exists as an inflectional or derivational affix,e.g.,Bound morphemes,(,粘附词素,),Bound,mo
8、rpheme,Affix,Combining,Form(,组合形式,),inflectional,derivational,-s/-es,-s,-ed,-ing,-er/-est,Prefix,Suffix,anti-war,post-war,Marxist,movement,(,屈折词缀,),(派生词缀),-ceive,-duct,receive,conduct,bio-,-logy,micro-,-phone,biology,microphone,mini-,minibus,Allomorph(,词素变体,),The same morpheme in different contexts
9、may take different phonological,(语音上),or orthographical,(拼写上),forms.The variants of the same morpheme are called“Allomorph”.For example:,Orthographical variants:,in-inactive incoherent,im-immature imperfect,il-illegal illogical,ir-irrational irregular,Phonological variants:,Cats/s/dogs/z/horses/iz/,
10、Words,A word is composed of one or more than one morpheme.Words can be classified in two ways.,In terms of,word-formation,words can be divided into simple words,derivatives and compounds,e.g.,Simple words,:,at,by,take,write,day,hope,happy,Derivatives(,词根加派生词缀),:,unimportant,dislike,counterattack,pro
11、Chinese,semicircle,supermarket,preschool,beautify,lucky,arrangement,boyhood(page 3),Compounds(,两个或两个以上自由词素构成,),:,deadline,typewriter,birthday,blackboard,greenhouse,blacksheep,,,anybody,whatever,Words,In terms of,grammatical function,words can be divided into,closed-class words,and,open-class words,
12、The former refer to those(like auxiliary,pronoun,preposition,determiner,conjunction,etc.)whose items are“closed”or limited in number(,function words,)while the latter refer to those(like noun,main verb,adjective,adverb,etc.)whose items are indefinitely extendable.New items are constantly created a
13、nd old items are giving place to the new ones(,content words,).e.g.,computer,mouse,gay,lady,paper,blue-collar,white-collar.,Phrases(,短语,),The phrase is composed of one or more than one word.,Generally the phrase is a group of words organized in a specific way with a key word as its head,.The word cl
14、ass of the head determines the class of the phrase and the way in which words are organized.,Here we introduce five types of phrases:,NP,VP,AdjP,AdvP,PreP,Noun Phrases(NP),The noun phrase is a phrase with a noun as its head.,general pattern:,(determiner+)(pre-modifier+,),noun,(+post-modifier),e.g.,a
15、ll the college,students,his new,book,on phonology,the tall,boy,sitting in the corner,Milton,lived in the 17,th,century,Verb Phrases(VP),The verb phrase is a phrase with a main verb as its head.A verb phrase can be simple or complex.,A simple verb phrase,is just a main verb of“modifier+main verb”.For
16、 example:,She,looks,pale.,They,fully appreciate,our problems,A complex verb phrase,is a main verb preceded by an auxiliary(auxiliaries,助动词,)+modifier.For example:,It,is getting,dark,She,ought to have told,him about it.,Joan,will certainly object,and so will Mary.,Adjective Phrases(AdjP),The adjectiv
17、e phrase is a phrase with an adjective as its head,it can just include an adjective.,general pattern:,modifier+adjective+post-modifier/complementation,e.g.,The weather is,fine,today.,The course is,pretty difficult,.,You are not,careful enough,.,Adverb Phrases(AdvP),The adverb phrase is a phrase with

20、use is structurally(,结构上,)a sequence of phrases and logically a construction of“,subject+predicate,”,(,语法上,),.,Clauses,According to their grammatical functions,clauses may fall into the following categories:,1.Independent and dependent clause,2.Simple and complex clause,3.Main and subordinate clause
21、4.Finite and non-finite clause,5.Verbless clause,1)Independent and dependent clauses,An independent clause(,独立分句,)is a clause that can stand by itself and act as a complete utterance,as distinguished from a dependent clause,(从属分句,)which forms only part of another clause or of a phrase.,Judge whethe
22、r the following clauses are independent or dependent.,He knows everything about it,.,I dont think,he knows everything about it,.,His new book will soon come out,.It is on grammar.,His new book,that will soon come out,is on grammar.,2)Simple and complex clauses,When a clause consists of only one cons
23、truction of“subject+predicate”,it is a simple clause.A,n independent simple clause is virtually a simple sentence,It is not true(,独立简单分句,/,简单句,),When a clause comprises another clause or other clauses as its element or elements,it is a complex clause.A,n independent complex clause is also a complex
24、sentence.,He complained that,what you said is not true,(,从属复杂分句,),3)Main and subordinate clauses,In a complex clause,the clause that takes another clause as its element is the main clause,while the clause that forms part of the main clause is subordinate clause,e.g.,Note:While the subordinate clause
25、 is embedded in the main clause,the main clause can also be part of another subordinate clause which is embedded in some other higher matrix clause.,4)Finite and non-finite clauses,A clause can be finite or non-finite.A finite clause is one with,a finite verb phrase,as its predicate verb or predicat
26、or;a non-finite clause is a clause with,non-finite verb phrase,(,动词不定式、,ing,分词、,-ed,分词,)as its predicator.,I signed the paper,to get,the license,.,I believe him,to be,innocent,.,Do you mind,opening,the window,?,5)Verbless clauses(,无动词分句,),A verbless clause is a construction of“subject+predicate”with

28、t.,(省略了谓语),Sentences,The sentence is the highest rank of grammatical unit.The sentence can be defined as a grammatical unit that can stand by itself and perform a communicative function.,Full and Minor sentences(,完全句和不完全句,),A full sentence is a sentence with an expressed subject and predicate.This k
29、ind of sentence is mostly used in formal speech and writing.A minor sentence is only sentence fragment which in specific context can stand by itself and perform a communicative function.Minor sentences are extensively used in informal discourses.,A:When did he arrive?,(,full sentence,),B:,Last night
