Constituency An Animated and Narrated Glossary of Terms used in Linguistics presents

Slide 2 Basic idea A constituency is a group of entities that form a part-whole relationship. –An orange is made up of the peel, the flesh, the sacs, water, vitamin C, etc. These parts make up the constituent that is the orange. –A tree is made of roots, trunk, branches, leaves, etc –A house is made of walls, pillars, roofs, plumbing, wiring, etc. The walls are in turn made of bricks, tiles and concrete, …

Slide 3 Basic idea Because of the part-whole relationship, elements that form a constituent pattern together. Thus, I cannot move an orange without also moving the peel, flesh, sacs, vitamins together. Likewise, if a tree is to be transplanted, then roots, trunk, leaves and all have to move together with the tree.

Slide 4 Experiment

Slide 5 Abstractness of constituencies In many cases, it may be hard to actually see constituencies. Constituencies are abstract postulates for indicating part-whole relationships based on observations about entities that pattern together.

Slide 6 Dominance & Transitivity Constituency is often represented in a tree, where entities that form a constituent are dominated by a node indicating the constituency.

Slide 7 X F CBA Dominance & Transitivity ED The relationship is transitive. If B is part of X and D, E are part of B, then D, E are also part of X. house plumbingwallroof strawbrickconcrete copper

Slide 8 Constituency in Linguistics Example from syntax VP NP the elephant.pinchedThe child NP S

Slide 9 Constituency in Linguistics Example from phonology i z f i ks word physics [fiziks] syllable onsetrime nucleuscoda onsetrime nucleus

Slide 10 Testing Constituency In linguistics, and elsewhere, it is insufficient to simply claim that a number of elements form a constituency. Such claims must be justified.

Slide 11 Testing Constituency Recall VP NP the elephant. pinched The child NP S It it

Slide 12 Testing Constituency What about [fiziks]?Pause insertion fi … ziks fiz…ik…s f..iz..iks fizi…ks fizik…s z i k sf i word syllable

Slide 13 Testing constituency This is a task that requires creativity and careful thinking. The demonstrations provided earlier are not foolproof though they suffice as a simple introduction. To be safe, one must be very critical about tests for constituencies, even those provided in textbooks can have problems.
