Syntax Review Syntax is the way words are arranged in sentences. In other words, syntax is sentence structure. Syntax controls verbal pacing and focus. Syntax includes the following elements Sentence parts (pay close attention to subjects, verbs, clauses, phrases) Word order (normal order in English is to have the subject first then the verb and other details- changing order changes meaning) Jim said he drives only a truck (he drives nothing else) Jim said that only he drives a truck (No one else drives a truck) Jim only said he drives a truck (He probably doesn’t really drive a truck) Only Jim said that he drives a truck (No one else said it)

Syntax Review Sentence length Punctuation Writers vary sentence length to keep their readers interested and to control what their readers pay attention to. Punctuation Semicolon-joins two or more clauses when there is no coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS). When a semicolon is used, all clauses are equally important, and the reader should pay equal attention to them all. Colon- tells the reader that something important will follow. Dash- marks a sudden change in thought or sets off a summary. Parentheses can do this too, but the dash is more informal and conversational. Italics- are used to talk about a word as a word (He used the word really too many times) or for emphasis.

Syntax Practice “He was a year older than I, skinny, brown as a chocolate bar, his hair orange, his hazel eyes full of mischief and laughter.”-Santiago, When I Was a Puerto Rican Look carefully at the way this sentence is written. All of the words that follow the word “I” are used to describe the “he” of the sentence. They are adjectives and adjective phrases. This is not the way words are usually ordered in English. (In English, adjectives are usually right before the nouns they modify, or at least right next to them.) What effect does this word order have on the meaning of the sentence? Placing all of the adjectives and adjectives phrases one after the other is called layering. What effect does this layering have on the impact of the sentence?

Syntax Practice Continued Fill in the blanks too create a sentence similar to Santiago’s sentence. “He was a year older than I (comparative of an adjective) skinny, (adjective) brown as a chocolate bar, (simile that describes the subject) his hair orange (adjective) his hazel eyes full of mischief and laughter. (adjective phrase) Now you try: She was ____________________(comparative) than I, _____________(adjective),______________________________(simile that describes the subject) her hair _________________(adjective), her eyes_______________ (adjective phrase).

Select the appropriate pronoun in the following sentences: One of the girls in my gym class twisted (their, her) ankle on the stairs. The members of the concert band will arrive early to tune (its, their) instruments. Every citizen should exercise (their, his, her) right to vote. Anyone who is entering a project in the science fair should set up (his, her, their) display. Reggie and Clara reminded (themselves, himself, herself) that the last bus would leave at 6:00p.m.

Stylistic Devices Practice “When I had waited a long time, very patiently, without hearing him lie down, I resolved to open a little-very, very little crevice in the lantern. So I opened it-you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily- until, at length, a single dim ray, like the thread of a spider, shot from out the crevice and full upon the vulture eye.” –Poe, “The Tell-Tale Heart” Look carefully at the first sentence. There are several groups of words called phrases (very patiently, without hearing him lie down, etc.) that interrupt the flow of the sentence. Why do you think Poe wrote the sentence like this? Look at the second sentence. What is the purpose of the dashes? How do these dashes, and the words they set off, involve the reader in the action of the passage? Write a sentence about doing your homework that begins with “When I.” Try to imitate the way Poe uses phrases to slow down the way you read and use at least one dash.
