Aperçu du contenu
The Simple SentenceA) Argument structure (! Necessity of parts) TRANSITIVE = actual action or movement, influence
INTRANSITIVE (= not passiviziable) - Two-place verb
- One-place verb = 1 entity (mostly process S & DO (+)
verb) (+) S & PO (+)
Empty Subject (dummy entity = 0 particants) - Three-place verb = Di-transitive
real subject S, IO, DO
- Two-place verb S, DO, PC (prep. Complement) (+)
Subject + SC ( most copula – relational) (+) e.g. I explained it to her. “explain” = be passivized 1
Subject + PC (developing relations) (+) way.
S, DO, OC (object complement)
EXCEPTION
He lived a full life He took a shower. Where did you sleep?
DO = cognate (life & live same) dilexicalized, don’t mean it He slept [in his bed] =
lexically to a verb in a literally sense location
+ replace: He had a full life/ His life was He had a shower This bed hasn’t been slept
full in
B.2) Identifying S from SC Langacker
- Articles: definite (S) / indefinite extension by preposition (functions as 2nd LM) (V1 & 2)
- Replace: pos. S = “what/who he is” 2nd LM can be explicit V+
B.3) PO, PC & ADV

The Complex Sentence
Coordination Subordination (can be embedded)
S-deletion + -
function additive (and), disjunctive (or), additive, disjunctive, contrastive, explanatory
contrastive (but), explanatory (so) and more [Adv C]
Markers a) simple coordinators (and, or, neither, a) subordinators (simple(1el), compound (2el: so
nor, but, (for)) that), correlative(1el in SC, 1 el in MC: such ...
b) correlative coordinators (both...and, that))
either...or, neither...nor, not only ... but b) wh-elements
also) c) non-finite VP (never in MC)
Analyzing complex sentences: a procedure
Preparatory steps:
- Indicate all the verb-phrases – each verb-phrase forms the core el of a clause (either MC, SC or
coordinated clause). Take care: some verb phrases consist of more than one el, including tense
forming auxiliaries & modals).
- Decide which VP is the core of the MC, and then see how the rest fits in – in the case of multiple
embedding at different levels, you have to repeat this step at each level.
Step 1: What does the subclause depend of; at which level does it link up with the main clause?
a) VP-complementation (if functions at sentence level )
- Step 2a: Describe the syntactic characteristics of the VP-complement
Is it finite or non-finite; equi or no equi; which type of clause (to-inf, bare inf, gerund, participle, that-clause,
etc.
-- Step 3a: Which type of VP-complement is it?
Determine the underlying simple structure (2-place or 3-place verb) and the syntactic function: subject,
object (direct or prepositional), complement (subject, object or prepositional) or adverbial
--- Step 4a: specific analysis
(1) describe (where relevant) why this type of complementation has been selected and the nuance in
meaning
, (2) in case of an NP + non-finite: is it (V-0)-V or V–(S-V) or in between; alternatively – three place or two
place;
b) NP-complementation ( if it is a postmodifier of a
noun)
- Step 2b: Which type of NP-complement is it?
Determine whether it complements a de-verbal/de-adjectival noun OR whether it modifies, i.e. provides
extra info
-- Step 3b: Describe the syntactic structure of the NP-complement
Is it finite or non-finite; which type of clause or phrase (cp survey)
--- Step 4b: Specific analysis
(1) for complement clauses: de-verbal or de-adjectival
(2) relative clauses: type of relative clause (sentential, nominal, adnominal, adverbial…), defining vs non-
defining
c) ADJ-complementation (if it complements/specifies an
adjective)
-- Step 3c: Describe the syntactic structure of the ADJ-complement
Is it finite or non-finite; which type of clause or phrase (cp survey)
