, English Sentence Analysis: An Introductory Course

The language we use / not only expresses ideas but also shapes our thinking.
Subject / Predicate
Predicate denotes the process.

Giving/buying pattern**** S - P- IO - DO Ditransitive

Making/considering pattern***** S - P - DO - OA Complex-transitive
* Verb only expresses action involving one main participant. One or more adverbials but no direct object
nor subject attribute.
** SA gives information about the subject only, not the predicator. Verb points out link between first
participant and attribute.

perceived.
Doing: actually doing it
Seeing: express (mental) experience
**** Event occurs with at least three participants; giver, thing that is given, receiver.

Adverbial is the only constituent that may occur in different places. See if it is possible to move it in a
sentence.

2 Sentences: simple, compound and complex
2.1 Introduction
Sentence in Latin: Sentenia, ‘feeling or opinion’
Sentence:
- an utterance that expresses a feeling or opinion.
- A grammatically self-contained speech unit consisting of a word, or a syntactically related group
of words that expresses an assertion, a question, a command, a wish, or an exclamation, which
in writing usually begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, question, or exclamation
mark.

2.2 Sentences versus clauses
Grammatically complete sentences: expresses one complete whole event with subject and
predicate. → Clauses.
General types of clauses:
- independent/main clauses: form a meaningful unit by themselves.

, English Sentence Analysis: An Introductory Course

- subordinate/dependant clauses: cannot stand on their own because they function as a constituent
of another clause.

2.3 Sentence types
Sentence type Structure

Simple sentences One main clause only

Compound sentences Two or more main clauses

Complex sentence At least one dependant clause

Compound-complex sentence Main clauses and dependant clauses


Simple sentences
The waitresses are basking in the sun like a herd of skinned seals, their pinky-brown bodies shining with
oil.

Compound sentences
Fixed order: clauses cannot be moved without changing their meaning.

Ways to connect two main clauses
- Conjunctions
- Coordinate conjunctions: and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet
- Correlative conjunctions: both...and, not only...but also, either...or, neither...nor
- Subordinators: because, if, who, although, where, when, that
- Semi-colon (;)
- Often followed by word like therefore, besides, similarly (conjunctive adverb)
- Conjunctive adverb can move within second clause, coordinate conjunction not.

Complex sentences
Three types of dependent clauses:
- Functions as adverbial
- ‘Whales cannot breathe under water because they have lungs instead of gills.’
- Main clause / dependant clause functioning as adverbial
- Part of a sentence constituent
- Modifies one particular noun
- relative/adjective clause
- Test to see if clause is relative: leave it off
- ‘Whales, which cannot breathe under water, have lungs instead of gills.’
- Functions as subject, object, or subject attribute of a sentence
- Replace the whole clause with the word ‘it’ to find out if dependant clause functions as
subject or object.

Compound-complex sentences
- After the storm passed, I went outside, and I picked flowers.
- Dependent clause / Independent clause
