24. Actual division of the sent.
The actual division of the sent. exposes its informative perspective showing what immediate semantic contribution the sent. parts make to total inf-tion conveyed by the sent. From the point of view of the actual division the sent. can be divided into 2 sections: thematic (theme) & rhematic (rheme). The theme expresses the starting point of communication; it means that it denotes an object or a phenomenon about which smth is reported. The rheme expresses the basic informative part of the communication, emphasizing its contextually relevant centre. Between the theme & the rheme intermediary, transitional parts of the actual division can be placed, also known under the term "transition". Transitional parts of the sent. are characterized by diff. degrees of their informative value. The theory of actual division has proved fruitful in the study of the comm-tive properties of sent.s. In particular, it has been demonstrated that each comm-tive type is distinguished by features which are revealed first & foremost in the nature of the rheme. As a declarative sent. immediately expresses a proposition, its actual division pattern has a complete form, its rheme making up the centre of some statement. As an imperative sent. does not directly express a proposition, its rheme represents the informative nucleus not of an explicit proposition, but of an inducement in which the thematic subject is usually zeroed. If the inducement is emphatically addressed to the listener, or to the speaker himself, or to the third person, thematic subjects have an explicit form.
The diff.ial feature of the actual division pattern of an interrogative sent. is determined by the fact that its rheme is inf-tionally open because this type of sent. expresses an inquiry about inf-tion which the speaker does not possess. The function of the rheme in an interrogative sent. consists in marking the rhematic position in a response sent., thus programming its content. Diff. types of ?s are characterized by diff. types of rhemes.
The analysis of the actual division of comm-tive sent. types gives an add-al proof of the "non-comm-tive" nature of the so-called purely exclamatory sent.s (e.g. "Oh, I say!"): it shows that interjectional utterances of the type don't make up grammatically predicated sent.s with their own informative perspective; in other words, they remain mere signals of emotions.
1Communicative types of s-ces 3 cardinal s-ce types:declarative, imperative,interrogative.Dec-ve expr-s a statement(affir-ve/neg) Im-ve - inducement(aff/neg),- request/command. Int-ve - request for infor-n. Ch.Fries: classed them acc-g to responses they elict. In this system utter-ce is chosen as a universal speech unit. 1)situation ut-s2) response ut-s. 1)were dividedinto 3 groups: a)ut followed by oral responses (greetings, calls,questions. hello! dad!) b)ut-s eliciting action res-s (requests/commands). c)ut-s eliciting conventional signals of attention to continuous discours(statements). Also exist non-commun-ve ut-s (charact-c of surprise,anger, pain-Oh!,Darn!). Another type is recognized-exclamatory s-ce. | 1 Each of cardinal com-ve s-ces can be repres-ed in 2 variants: excl-ry/non-exc. What a nice dog! It's a very nice dog.Then why in God's name did you come ?Why did you come?In the light of of theory of actual division: each comm-ve type is distin-ed by spec. act-al div-n features,which are revealed in the nature of rheme. Dec-ve s-s espr-s certain proposition.Rheme makes up centre os statement-the next instant she had recogn-ed him.- rheme. Imp-ve s-s exp-s an urge to do smth/not to do. Rheme exp-s inform-ve nucleus of inducement. Its thematic subject is zeroed. Don't try to sidetrack me! Inter-ve s-s expr-s inquiry about inf-n.Rheme is informat-ly opened. Purely excl-ry s-s -interjectional exlamations (Good Lord!) |
2The simple s-ce and its parts This is s-ce in which only 1 pred -ve line is expr-ed. The nominative parts are subj, pred-te,obj,adverbial, attr-te,parenthetical enclosure, adressing enc-re,interjectional enc-re. The parts are arranged in hierarchy, all perfom modifying roles. Subj- person-modifier of subj-person. Obj-substance-mod-ierof a processu al part.Adve-l, attr-te are quality mod-iers,pareth enc-speaker bound mod-er,adr-g enc-re-mod-er of destination,interj. enc-speaker bound emotional mod. The idea of verbal valency-principle of dividing s-ce parts into obligatory and optional.We disting-sh between unexpanded simple s-s(monopredic-ve s-s formed only by oblig-ry notional | 2 parts and expended s. s-s( mopr. s. which includes oblig. parts+ optional parts, suplementive mod-iers which don't constituate pred-ve enlargement of the s-ce.

3The concept of Parad-tic Syntax In contemprorary ling-cs paradig-c approach provides theoretical ground for treating the s-ce as a meaningful linqual unit existing in a pattern form. Paradigma-cs finds its essential expr-n in system of oppositions. Syntactic opp-ns are realized correlated s-ce patterns the observable relations between which can be described by transformations, as transitions from 1 pattern of certain notional parts to another pattern. So some patterns should be approached as base patterns and others as their transforms. Question is is produced from statement, negation from affirmation. | 11 elementsthat relate given s to 1 that precedes it and semantically complete. On basis of funct-l nature of connc-rs cumulation is divided into 1)conjunctive(then, moreover,consequently,hence, besides) 2)correlative a)substitutional connection(Mary woke me. She said..) b)representativeI went home. She accepted my departure indifferantly. Elementary unit-segment of text Can be built by a cumeleme or a single s. This unit is called dicteme. In written sp it’s pes-d by paragraph. P-s are conn-ed within frame work of larger elements of text.P groupings compose chapters of other compositional divisions. |
4The Kernel Sentence The initial basic element of syntactic derivation,unit serving as sen-ce-root and providing objective ground for identifying syntactic categorial oppositions. The pattern of KS. is interpreted as forming the base of paradig-c derivation. Derivation isn't change 1 s into another. It's production of more complex pattern const-s out of kernel pattern const-s as their structural bases. I saw him come=I saw him+he came. K.S. is an elementary s-ce which is non-inter-ve,non-imper-ve, non-negative,non-modal. | 4 Procedures of derivation: 1)morphological arrangement (morph.changes expressing synt actically relevant categories: tense, aspect,voice)John+start= J starts.2)usesof functional words he understood me-he seemed to# 3)substitution The boys played- they played.4)Deletion Would you like a cup of tea?-a cup of tea? 5)intonational arrag-t we must go- we must go?6)positional arr-nt the man is here Is the man here? |
5Syntactic Nominalization Kernel s-s expand base s-s undergo derivation changes into clauses and phrases.Transformation of base s into clause-clausalization.By way of it s is charged into subordinate or coordinate clausein the process of subordinative or coordinative com bination of s-s.This procedure includes use of conjunctive words.They arrived+ I was relieved of my fears=When they arrieved I was...Transformation of base s into a phrase-phrasalization. By it s is tras-ed into a semi-predic-ve construction or a nominal phrase. | 5 Nominal phrases are produced by the process of nominalization. It may be complete(consisting in completely depriving the s of its predic-ve aspect) or partial(Partly depriving of it). Partial nom-n produces infinitive and gerundial phrases. The resulting constr-s produced by application of these procedures in the process of derivational combination of base s-s will be both simple expanded s-s(in case of complete nom-n_ and semi-composite s-s(in case of partial nom-n). |
6Syntactic Paradigm of predi-ve Func-s As a part of predi-ve system kernel s-s undergo such structural modifications as immediately express the pred-ve functions of a s-ce, fun-s relating nominative meanings of the s to reality. Pred-ve func-s are divided into 1)lower fun-s(include expre ssion of morph-l categ-s as tenses and aspects) 2)higher fun-s(evaluative .express functional semantics of relati ng the nominative content of s to reality) The principle pred-ve fun-s expr-ed by | 6 syntactic categ-l oppos-s are the following: 1)?opposed to statement2)negation to aff-n3)inducement to statement 4)unreality to reality5)probability to fact 6)modal identity to fact7)modal subject- action relations to fact8)special actual subject action to fact9)phase of action to fact 10)passive action to active 11)specialized actual division to non- specialized#12)emotiveness to un#. |
7Composite s, structure,derivation Is formed by 2 or more predi-ve lines Expr-ses a complicated act of thought Each pred-ve unit in a comp s makes up a clause in it.The use of comp s-s is s a special char-c of written speech. Comp s display 2 types of construc tions:hypotaxis(subordination)and parataxis(coordination).Sub-n and coord-n are main types of connect ion of clauses. Sub-n-clauses are arranged as units of equal rank.Co-n- as units of unequal rank, dominated by the other.The means combining clauses are syndetic(conjuncti-al) /asyndetic(non-#).Composite s-s | 7 are classed into compound s-s (coord-ing their clauses) and complex (subord-ing#). Cumulation -kind of syntactic connection placing the sequential clause in a sintactically detached positin.-He was sent for,as I have told you,very suddenly this morning. There exist constr-ns where 1 pred-ve line is combined with another 1, the latter not being expr-ed comletely. He ignored the question and remained silent. |
8Complex sentence Is a polyper-ve constr-n built up on the principle of subordination. It's derived from 1 or more base s-s 1 of which performs the role of a matrix in relation to the others, insert s-s.The matrix s becomes principle clause,insert s-s-subor-te clauses.The principle cl dominates sub-te cl.Sub-te cl is joined to prin-l cl by a subordinator or asyndatically. How do you know he left the room? Classif-n of sub-te cl-s:1)funct-l clas-n 2)categorial cla-n1)Sub cl are classed on the analogy of the posi tional parts of simple s.2)are classed by their nominal prop-s irrespective of their positional relations in the s. From point of v. of their nomin-ve features they sub cl are divided into a)cl naming event or fact-substantive | 8 nominal.He knew what was right. b)qualification-nominal(give char-c) The man who came in the morning left a letter.c)adverbial (gives quality of descriptios)Describe it as you see it. Connective word: 1)those that occupy notional position in the der ived cl-Positional subordinators: conjunctive substitutes-who,what, that,where,when,why.2)non-pos-l subord-rs-pure conjunctions:since, because,though,however,than,as if. All sub-te cl-s are divided into 1)cl of primary nominal positions (subject,pred-ve,obj.cl-s).2)of 2nd-ry nominal positions(attributive)3)cl of adverbial positions.(include cl of time/place,manner/comparison, of different circums-al semant-cs: of condition,reason,result,cause, concession, ,purpose. |
9Compound sentence Is a copposite s built on principle of coordination.Coord-n can be expr-ed syndatically(by means of connections) or asyndatically.The main semantic relations between cl-s are copulative,adversative,disjunctive causal,consequential,resultative. Comp s is derived from 2 or more base s-s connected on the principle of coord-n syndet-lly or asyn-ly. Base s-s lose their independ status and become coord-te cl-s, parts of a composite unity.1st cl is leading, successive cl-s are sequential. Coordinative connec-s are divided | 9 into1)conjunctions proper(and,but, neither,nor,for,either.and semi- functional clausal connectors of ad verbial character(then,yet,so,thus, nethertheless,however).Approached from semantico-syntactic point of v. connection is analysed into 2 types: 1)unmarked coord-ve connection 2)marked #1)is realized by conj and and also asyndetically.2)is effected by pure and adverbial coordinators (but,still,however etc.). |
10 Semi-composite sentence Is a s with 1 or more pred-ve lines which are expr-ed in fusion.1 of these lines is dominant, others- make semi-pred-ve expansion of the s. Semi-predi-ve line is either wholly fused with dominant pred -ve line of construction or parti ally fused with it.Semi-composite s displays intermediary syntactic character between copmposite s and simple s.According to ranking structure of semi-cop. s-s there exist semi-complex and s-comp ound. S-complex is built up on principle of subordination. It's derived from minimum 2 base s-s (1matrix,1insert).Subtypes: division based on char-r of pred fusion-1)effected by process of positional sharing:a)subject sharing-The moon rose+the m was red=the moon rose red. b)object sharing we asw him+ he approached us=we saw him | 10 approach us.2)linear expansion a)attributive complication I came late for supper+supper was served in the dining room.b)adverbial complic-nWindows were closed + she didn't hear noise=windows being closed,she#.c)nominal- phrase complicationTom's com ing late annoyed his mother. S-compound s is built up on principle of coordination. composed of 2 base s-s having identical element sharing it in coordinative fusion.By the number of bases joined:1)2base2)multi-b The connection types of 2) are: a)syndetic a1)homosyndatic- You saw flash,then heard crack, then saw smoke. a2)heterosyndetic- A woman came and looked at them, but vanished when they adressed her. b)asyndetic c)mixed |
11 The Syntactic Structure of Text S-s in continual speech aren’t used in isolation.They’re interconnected both Semantically and syntactically. S-s come under broad grammatical arraagement They May or may not build coherent sequence, Depending on aim of speaker. Text can be interpreted as lingual enity with its 2 features: Semantic unity, semantico-syntactic cohesion. Division of s sequences in speech is based on communicative direction of their component s-s.:1)monologue sequences2)dialoque s 1)s-s are directed from 1 speaker to his listeners-1-direction sequence. 2) s-s are directed to meet 1 another- 2direction seq-s. 1direction seq. Is based on syntactic cumulation of s-s. So the supra-segmental construction of 1 direction commu-ve type is | 11 Called cumulative sequence, a cumuleme. Formation of 2direct-n seq is based on sent-s being positioned to meet each other. Supra-segm. Const-n -occurseme. Occ-me occupies place above cum-me.Cum-me is contrasted by 2 or more s-s joined by cumul-n. Occ-me contrasted by 2 or more cum-s. The supro-proposemic level is Divided into1)lower level at which Cumulemic connection os s-s are identified, and higher l at which occursemic #. S-s in cumulative seq Can be connected prospectively (prospective connector signals continuation of speech-I tell you, 1 or 2 things must happen). Or retrospectively (is effected by con-ve |
