1. What is Syntax?
ReplyDelete• Syntax is the study of the principles and rules for constructing sentences in natural language or used to refer directly to the rules and principles that govern the sentence structure of any individual language.
2. What does “structure” mean? Give an example.
• Structure means the order of the word and the grammatical structure is in accordance. For example, “She went to the market”. “She” is the subject, “went” is verb and “to the market” is explaining what the subject do.
3. When someone says, “He no go there”. What does it reflect?
• The sentence is ungrammatical and the structure of the sentences is wrong because the sentence must have a verb.
4. What is a sentence?
• Sentence is a grammatical unit of one or more words, bearing minimal syntactic relation to the words that precede or follow it, often preceded and followed in speech by pauses, having one of small number of characteristic intonation patterns, and typically expressing an independent statement, question, request, command and so on.
5. How many sentences can you produce from the following:
a. The black cat
• Once there lives a black cat that roams the street of SS6/1. The black cat’s surreptitious demeanor and unseen in the dark has often led the community to superstitiously presume that the black cat is a manifestation of the dark yet mischievous art of magic lurking for unfortunate souls to be taken into Satan’s lair. Despite the mystical cloud that hovers over the black cat’s association with the arcane art of witchcraft, I decided to care for the black cat.
b. The tall boy
• The tall boy name is Nik Zain and he is my friend. I met the tall boy at basketball court at Kampung Tunku, Petaling Jaya. The tall boy is not only 7’ 5 inch tall but also very skinny. Sadly, the tall boy is not really good in basketball. Even though the tall boy family is very rich, he is still travel from his house to other place by walking. The tall boy doesn’t have many friends because he is so tall and people like to insult him. I pity the tall boy very much and that is why I be friend with him.

i. She has what a man wants.

But in the second sentence, the meaning of the sentence is from a biological lexicon, it true that both man and women need each other. However, in our argument, the woman doesn’t necessarily want what a man has.)
b.
i. They called in the guard.
ii. They called the guard in.
(Same meaning: both of sentences is same meaning whereby the guard guide the in)
7. Tick (√) the grammatical and (X) the ungrammatical sentences.

b. The boy found quickly ( X )
c. The boy in the house. ( X )

9. The following has multiple meanings or are ambiguous sentences. Explain what they mean.
a. Synthetic buffalo hides.
• The fake buffalo hides.

c. We will oil your sewing machine and adjust tension in your home for $100.
• The term tension here may refer to the element of sewing machine or the atmosphere environment of the house.
