Ch VI- SENTENCE PATTERNS

It is a common fact that in the making of well-formed sentences we badly need several syntactic devices used to link together words by means of various devices. Sentences are bound together by means of at least 5 syntactic devices/tools:

1Conjoining or coordination= prinsip penggabungan. 2Embedding or extension=perluasan 3Substitution=penggantian 4 Content words (words like Noun or verb) and function words (aux, conj., det. Etc.) 5Concord or agreement.

1. Conjoining or coordination Instead of the two sentences “John takes cream” and “John takes sugar”, we may “conjoin” or “coordinate” the objects by saying “John takes cream and sugar or we may conjoin differing subjects or differing verbs by saying “John and Marry take cream and sugar” and “John takes and enjoys cream”. “Coordination” or “Conjoining” is one of the basic syntactic devices, although it is so simple, it is carried out in accordance with specific patterns in any language. For example in English, in the attempt of conjoining noun expressions, we may use “and” with the last noun like “John, Mary and Joe”.

2. Embedding or extension One of the types of extension is entities which are arranged in hierarchies. This type of construction is called “subordinated” to, or “embedded”, in, another in contrast with the coordination or conjoining which is arranged side by side. Embedding may be indicated by special words, such as English relatives (Which, Who, That, Whose etc.) and subordinating conjunctions, for example, “This is the country which I had visited”, The old man who is standing there is my father” and “When John drinks coffee, I always go along with him”.

In English, adjectives may be embedded in nominal constructions without the use of a special marker, for example “black coffee”. In the analysis of embedded constructions the term “HEAD” is used to refer to THE CENTER OF THE CONSTRUCTION, the term “attribute” for THE MODIFIER.

3. Substitution Substitution/ellipsis is the 3 rd syntactic device. Through its replacements, or “substitutes”, it is often called “PRO-FORMS”, stands for the central entities of basic patterns. Substitution may be in separate basic patterns or when basic patterns are added to one another. Occasionally the replacement for an entity may be zero, as in the sentence “I like this tie more than (Ø) that one”. In the 2 nd part of this sentence the symbol (Ø) substitutes for a second of the part of sentence “I like”.

1I like this tie more than I like that one. 2I like this tie more than (Ø) that one.

As substitutes for nouns, “pronouns/pro-nouns” are used in many languages. Instead of saying “John likes cream” we may say “He likes cream” or He likes it”. Other pro-forms in English are “this, that, one, ones, the former and, the latter” and so on. While a PRO-FORM may introduce ambiguity in a sentence when its antecedent is unclear, pro-forms must often be used to avoid awkwardness. For instance, rather than saying “I like this tie more than I like that tie”, we may say, “I like this tie more than that one”. If we are pointing to the ties, we may prefer to say “I like this one better than that one” or “I like this better than that”.

1I like this tie more than I like that tie. 2I like this tie more(Ø) than that one. 3I like this one more (Ø) than that one. 4I like this more (Ø) than that. When the context is clear, substitutes will surely convey a feeling of informality.

In addition, Substitutes may also be used for verbs. A common pro-form for English verb is “do”, for example “He likes coffee and SHE DOES TOO ”. Modals are also widely used as substitutes, for example, “He’ll take coffee and SO WILL SHE”. Modals and auxiliaries are common substitutes in Question’s tag, for example, “You’ll go, WON’T YOU?”, “He went, DIDN’T HE?” Besides substituting modals and auxiliaries, we may substitutes “to” for verbs, as in “will you go? I’D LIKE TO”.

4. Content and function words Another common device, used to same extent in English is the use of “function words”. These convey relationships among the “content words”, such as nouns and verbs, in a language. Examples of function words are auxiliaries, conjunction, determiners, interjections, prepositions and relatives. They are the primary items in many languages for specifying the relationships between the basic constituents of constructions.

Beauty, beautify, beautification, beautician. Perfect, perfectionate, perfection. Money----to moneytize Television-to the televise=to broadcast. Chomsky---chomskian, Lakoff—Lakoffian, Faizal---Faizalian? Google is a big company and I google it everyday.

5. Concord or Agreement Constructions may also indicate interrelationships via inflection or other patterns involving selection. These indications are the result of concord or agreement.”Concord” or “agreement” is the agreement in form of one word with another. For example, “THIS” must be modified to “these” before plurals, as in “this tie”, “these ties”, the word “EAT” must be modified to “eats” after the pronoun “he” or “she”. To give more elaboration towards syntactic devices, we may pursue the sentence types of English in general. The two basic sentence types of English are: VERB sentences” and “BE sentences” as follows:

NOSENTENCESPATTERNSNO SENTENC ES PATTERNS 1They cameN1+VAIt is coldBE+Adj. 2They saw herN1+V+N2BIt is hereBE+Adv. 3They elected her the president N1+V+N2+ N3 CIt is JackBe+N

In describing these types and noting their expressions we must observe the use in English of the syntactic processes: SELECTION, ARRANGEMENT and INTONATION (for intonation see previous chapter).

ARRANGEMENT & SELECTION IN ENGLISH SENTENCES Arrangement is straight-forward in English basic sentences patterns. The subject must precede the VERB and BE, objects and complements follow. In expanded/embedded sentences arrangement is more complex. If, for example, adverbs are added to aone of the basic patterns, such as “today”, “very” and “here” to the sentence” it is cold”, they must be arranged in accordance with a small number of possible orders:

Possible orderIt is very cold here today. Possible orderToday it si very cold here. A weird/strange order but acceptable Here it is very cold today (Indonesia banget ) Not allowed*Very it is cold here today.

Selection—parts of speech Although patterns of arrangement are highly limited in this way, in analyzing the basic sentence patterns of English, we find that selection is also important syntactic process. Sentences are built up of a small number of constituent classes, often known as “parts of speech” and the four large classes’ are nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The other constituent classes include prepositions, conjunctions, articles, pronouns.

According to the habit of traditional grammar, there are typically two parts to the definition of any parts of speech. 1 st, they are given a “formal”/”normative” characterization, usually in terms of their morphological potentiality. The 2 nd, the second part of the definition involves the characteristic meaning which is expressed by their categorization.

SELECTION, CLASSES BASED ON INFLECTIONS English verbs have at most five forms: for example, “GIVE, GIVES, GAVE, GIVEN, GIVING”. Only the auxiliary “BE” has more: BE, IS, AM, ARE, WAS, WERE, BEEN, BEING”. Nouns are at most four forms, for example, “MAN, MAN’S, MEN, MEN’S”. The pro-forms known as pronouns have four forms, for example, “I, ME, MY, MINE”. To this class belong the seven personal pronouns, “HE, SHE, IT, I, WE, YOU, THEY”, and the interrogative and relative “who”.

Adjectives have three forms, for example, ‘SLOW, SLOWER, And SLOWEST”. A fourth form may be made from some adjectives for example “SLOWLY” but this formation is restricted. We do not say “DRIVE FASTLY”. And even the ancient adverb “SLOW” lacking the adverbial ending “-LY”, is used generally as in “DRIVE SLOW”. As this brief summary illustrates inflection plays a minor role in English. Such a list of parts of speech as discussed above, of course be supplemented with such categories as “interjections” (exclamatory words such as “HEY, WHOA, OUGHH” or participles (verbal adjectives such as “interesting, wanted, thrilling).

Distinguish The Basic Sentence Types Of English And Put The Right Pattern Or Selection Of Parts Of Speech On Each Sentence. NOTHE SENTENCES 1One of the article of faith in Islam is belief in life after death. 2The prophet Muhammad PBUH has shown us the path of happiness. 3It depends on us to follow the prophet or to follow the devil. 4We are free to choose the path to paradise or the path to hell. 5The ways to hell are the ways of the devil which are the ways of evil. 6Our living on this earth is very short and temporary. 7This should be utilized properly by obeying the will of Allah. 8One day all living beings in this world will come to an end. 9All creatures like; plants, animals and humans will die. 10Then there will be the day of Judgment.
