Syntactic Processes: Some major types Syntactic Analysis Immediate Constituent Analysis Ultimate Constituent Analysis Syntax: Syntactic Syntactic is about horizontal relationship inside and between the sentences. The syntactic literature dealing with the study of how sentences are structured throws us a hint that syntactic research should not only concern on how sentences are merged out of their parts, units, or constituents, but also on how constituents are moved according to certain rules Syntactic Processes Major syntactic processes are: Discontinuous Constituents Type of sentences where continuation is broken by an interruption John pulled the thief down. He pulled down the thief. 2. Conjoining It occurs when elements are added or joined to other similar elements. John, Juli and Mary will present a play. John will sing, Juli will dance and Mary will play. Syntactic Processes 3. Embedding It is embedding of a clause inside another one . Conjoining occurs in co-ordinate clauses where as in sub-ordinate clauses there is embedding. The boy is naughty. The boy, who came here yesterday, is naughty. Syntactic analysis Syntactic analysis is a science of structure which deals with the different structural elements of a language. There are different types of analysis procedures: Immediate Constituent Analysis (ICA) Ultimate Constituent Analysis (UCA) Phrase Structure Grammar (PSG) Transformational Generative Grammar (TGG) Modular Approaches in TGG Systemic (Functional) Grammar Immediate Constituent Analysis (ICA) It deals with the immediate binary division of a sentence. Then, these two divisions are further divided in to two This division of componential parts of the sentence is continued to the immediate constituents This system was introduced by Bloomfield in 1939 Immediate Constituent Analysis (ICA) The fundamental aim of . | Syntax (3) Dr. Ansa Hameed Previously .
