the external functions

of words and their relationship to other words within the

linearly ordered units – word-groups, sentences, texts;
the peculiarities of syntactic units, their behavior in different contexts.

a subfield of linguistics, which studies the regularities describing word-groups and sentences, as well as the strucutre, features, and types of word-groups and sentences.

sentence classification according to the communicative goal

(Aristotle);

two important components in a sentence – the name and

the verb (Plato);

the term was coined, the composite sentence (the Stoics).

Слайд 10From Antiquity to nowadays
Up to the 20th c.: logical vs.

formal and grammatical views of syntax.
Logical: language is the means

of expressing thoughts, the “parts of thought” are reflected in and similar to the “parts of the sentences”.
Formal and grammatical: types and features of word-groups and sentences.

Слайд 11The Grammar of Port Royal
"General and Rational Grammar, containing the

fundamentals of the art of speaking, explained in a clear

and natural manner”;
1660 by Antoine Arnauld and Claude Lancelot.
The Grammar of Port Royal

Слайд 12The Grammar of Port Royal
“the general grammar”:
there’s a single and

natural way to express thought;
strict connection b/w the categories

of thought and language;
all languages express the same categories.

Слайд 13General grammar denied
Comparative-historical view:
language diversity was acknowledged;
no ‘natural way’ to

express thoughts;
logic is no longer the basis.
Psychologistic view:
syntax has to

be based on psychology;
general syntax is impossible.

Слайд 14The 20th c. views of syntax Sentence models (by Barkhudarov)
“The

parts of the sentence” model (ancient grammars):
the primary –

the subject and the predicate;
the secondary – the object, the attribute, the adverbial modifier.

The

distributive model (Charles Fries):
the sentence is the sequence of words

of specific word classes, which are used in particular grammatical forms.
The old man saw a black dog there.
D 3 1a 2-d D 3 1b 4
+ distribution; – linear, no distinction b/w certain different structures.
E.G.: English cities and villages vs. old men and children.

model
the sentence is hierarchically layered;
the sequence of classes of words

+ the syntactic relations b/w them;
allows to differentiate b/w the structures which are distributionally the same.

Transformational

model (Chomsky):
The endless variety of sentences in a language can

be reduced to a finite number of kernels by means of transformations.
The kernel sentences can be extended (depends on the combinability).
The rules of analysis vs. the rules of generating.

Слайд 21Different “syntaxes”
Traditional (structural and static): the structure of the word-groups

and the sentence, their types, features, structural models.
Semantic or functional

and semantic: abstract meanings of structural elements of the sentence (Charles Bally, modus vs. dictum).

Слайд 22Different “syntaxes”
Generative: universal deep and surface structures, rules of transformations,

semantics vs. structure.
Communicative: the dynamic view of the sentence –

the utterance; their actual division (the theme (old) and the rheme (new)), intonation and word order.

Constructional: constructional significance/insignificance of a part of the sentence

for the whole syntactic unit; obligatory and optional environments of

syntactic elements (I helped her yesterday).

the rules of connecting sentences in the context, the syntactic

units and their roles in the expressiveness of the text.

Syntactic unit: a combination that has at least

two constituents; hierarchical; two-fold (syntactic meaning and form), communicative and

non-communicative nature.

Syntactic meaning: the way in which separate word

meanings are combined to produce meaningful word-groups and sentences (Green

ideas sleep furiously).
Syntactic form: distributional formula.
Syntactic function: the function of a unit on the basis of which it is included into a larger unit.

Слайд 28The syntactic notions
Syntactic position: the position of an element in

a sentence; very important for analytic languages.

Syntactic relations: the syntagmatic

relations between the syntactic units.

Слайд 29The syntactic relations
Coordination (independence):
word group, sentence, text;
symmetric and

asymmetric (pens and pencils, ladies and gentlemen);
copulative (you and

me), disjunctive (you or me), adversative (strict but just), causative-consecutive (He didn’t come, because…).

Слайд 30The syntactic relations
Subordination (dependence, difference linguistic rank):
word-group and sentence;
adverbial (to

run slowly), objective (to help a friend); attributive (a new

house);
the head and the adjunct.

Слайд 31Syntactic relations
Predication (interdependence):
primary (the subject and the predicate): men worked;
secondary

(non-finite forms of the verb and nominal elements): his reading,

for me to know, the boy running, I saw him run.
