Identifying, Using, and Punctuating Basic Sentence Patterns The following patterns are the most common ones in written American English. Each sentence pattern contains an independent clause that can be a complete sentence. The independent clause (SVC.) contains a subject (S), a verb (V), and a completer (C),. The completer = any word or words that complete the thought. Subject Verb Completer The man in the gray suit ran to get out of the rain. My youngest brother is a very good guitar player. Most of the patterns contain additional words, phrases, or subordinate clauses that attach to the main SVC. Phrases are word groups that function within the sentence. (See the list of phrases in Pattern #3 below): Subordinate clauses are not complete sentences because they have a subordinator before their subject. (See the list of subordinators in Pattern # 3 below): Each basic sentence pattern is indicated by combinations of SVC and ___ . SVC = an independent clause that can be a complete sentence. ___ = a word, phrase, or subordinate clause that is part of a complete sentence. By combining the ___ and SVC chunks, you can create the...

...SENTENCE PATTERNS: SAMPLES 1. S--Vi--(Adv.) (Subject--Intransitive Verb--Adverb, usually optional) The man coughed (loudly). The audience laughed. The guest has arrived. The children walked down the street. The waiter hurried away from the door. Note: An intransitive verb is an action verb that does not require a direct object or a complement to complete its meaning. The word "intransitive" literally means "does not carry across." Therefore, the action of the verb does not transfer to an object, that is, a person or thing that receives the action of the verb. Often, adverbs or adverb phrases will appear in these sentences to expand the basic meaning of the verb. Note: Some intransitive verbs can take a direct object in a different sentence. Usually the meaning of the verb changes in a sentence requiring a direct object. Here is an example: He runs every morning. (intransitive verb) He runs a successful business. (transitive verb) SENTENCE PATTERNS: SAMPLES 2. Transitive Verb Patterns (Active Voice) A. S--Vtr--DO (Subject + Transitive Verb + Direct Object) The dog catches the ball. The baby likes bananas. Dogs chase cats. That man teaches English. The scientist performed an experiment. Note: Some verbs require an adverb with this pattern. S--Vtr--DO--Adv.

...This term paper discusses the concept of language universals as proposed by two scholars, Noam Chomsky and Joseph H. Greenberg. Both of these scholars bring in their different points of view concerning their understanding of language universals and they stipulate the rules underlying their proposals. In the last part of this term paper we try to show the relationship between language universals and language acquisition. Language universals are a pattern that occurs systematically across natural languages potentially true for all of them. For instance, all languages have verbs and nouns and they have phonological aspects such as consonants and vowels The research in this area of linguistics is nearly connected to the study of linguistic typology and also intends to portray generalizations across languages such as cognition and perception of the mind. Noam Chomsky His arguments on language universals were mainly on grammar. He proposed that if human beings are brought up under normal conditions, then they will always develop language with a certain property e.g. distinguishing function words from lexical words. As a result this property, it is considered to be a property of universal grammar in the most general sense. He argued that there are theoretical senses of the term universal grammars well. The most general would be that universal grammar is whatever properties of a normally developing human brain cause it to learn languages that conform to the universal grammar. Using...

...Symmetry in Chinese Arts Done by: Group 3 Lim Li Yan Yip Lixia, Sabrina Lee Weitian, Ivan Zhong Shengmin Goh Yoon Keong 1 CONTENTS • Introduction • Symmetry in Chinese Literature • Chinese Paper Cuttings • Symmetry in Chinese buildings • Chinese Music • Conclusion • Bibliography 2 Introduction “The use of the geometric principles of symmetry for the description and understanding of decorated forms represents the union of two normally separate disciplines – mathematics and design.” (Washburn et al., 1988) Symmetry has been used in countless contexts, and with diverse shades of meaning. Coming from the Greek symmetros, for "measured together," this word is most familiar to us as a description of the similarity between the two halves of any form separated by a dividing line or plane. The concept is not limited to science, of course. It has been, for example, a mainstay of aesthetics from the beginning. Thus we speak of the symmetry of the human face, we can all understand what it is and how it looks. Its influence in the arts is pervasive. In music, we hear the symmetry of exposition and recapitulation in the so-called sonata form, where virtually the same music is played and played again. The creation of identities or equivalents is at the heart of the principle of symmetry in music, as in the other arts. It is an emblem of the human predilection for just proportion in all things, and the longing for rational comprehension of anything encountered. In the...

...with irregular rhyme and irregular patterns that expresses how the blacks were treated during the oppression in America. There are eleven lines and seven sentences. Each sentence is a simple sentence. The poem consist of Alliteration: “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up?” (Lines 1-2). “Syrupy sweet” (line 7). This poem consists of similes: “Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore- “(Lines 2-4) this is a comparison of the dream to a raisin and fester. “Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over- like a syrupy sweet?” (Lines 6-8) This is a comparison of the dream to foods. “Maybe it sags like a heavy load.” (Lines 9-10) Comparison of the dream to a heavy load. The poem has a rhythmic, lyrical quality achieved by alliteration, rhyme, repetition of words and carefully placed syllables. The length of the poem varies. In line 1 it has eight syllables, line 2 has four, line 3 has seven, line 4 has six, and line 5 has three. The irregular pattern and movement gives the line a jagged edge, like a piece of broken glass, giving Hughes to leave an impression on the reader of being cut. The poem isn’t imitating any format used by other poets. It does show certain forms included in the following: Each line is stressed, except for line 7. Six of the seven lines of the poem are questions. Each sentence except for the first sentence and the last are using similes with the word like. There is also a pattern with...

To capture a language, Learning about English grammar pattern is a dimension that would be mean for achievement. Analysis a writing style can help us discovering the language to express what we read. Three Secrets to Academic Success was written by Elana Peled, Ed.D. She is the founder of Academic Success for All. She started writing to help people who struggle to achieve academic success. This book reveals the powerful secrets that underlie academic success. The second secret is the learning creativity. It is about that every single person on the planet has the capacity to be creative. Our creativity is involved in how we make sense of the world and is intimately connected with our ability to learn. Based on my analysis in her writing style, she had written this chapter in grammatical correct English. One of the most important factors is that sentences were not formed by words alone but by structural units. The author had conformed her words, phrases, and sentences to specific pattern determined by the syntactic rules of the language. She utilized different types of sentences, passive voice, relative clause, and pronoun to emphasize some facts, attract our attention, and make effective writing. The author used a variety of sentence types at varying lengths to express more strong statements...

Just about everything we do is performed in a series of steps, from taking a shower to cooking dinner or tying your shoes. We all might not do these things the same way but we all have a series of steps that takes us to the end result and I understand this and feel very comfortable performing whatever steps may be necessary to complete the task at hand. Sometimes I will get frustrated if time is against me and I might try to improvise depending on the task and the situation I am in at the time. I might ask myself if this step is really necessary and I usually find the answer to be yes. I do prefer sequence in general as it helps me to plan ahead and just knowing what comes next is a comfort for me. C....

...Basic Elements of An Essay [pic] Introduction of the Essay The introduction should detail what is contained in the paper. The introduction is usually only a paragraph, three at the most. The writer should sum up the introduction with a TOPIC SENTENCE which supports the main idea of the essay OR CLARIFYING STATEMENT. This will allow the reader to know the subject of the paper and an introduction to that subject. This is one of the most important things cited by the professors. Writing a Purpose Statement An example of a purpose statement is ‘Mutual funds are backbone of the economy of any country’. The Body of the Essay Paragraphs - First sentence contains the topic sentence, which supports the main idea of the essay. - The following sentences contain main points you're making about that topic - Other sentences support those main points with examples, explanations, etc. (Who, what, where, when, how, etc) The body of the essay is essentially the "meat and potatoes" of the paper. Several paragraphs will explain the topic that you are discussing. The paper will prove or disprove the purpose statement. There will be many citations, references and information which will lead the reader to understand what the paper is about. The body must be relevant to the subject, with clear and concise thoughts. Jargon or very technical terms should be explained so the reader does not become confused. Do not attempt to make the paper meet the required length by using "fluff" -...

...terminology align with our demarcations for many of the elements of reading, they are described briefly in this section. Linguists have identified five basic components (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) found across languages. Language acquisition progresses across these components with increasing quantity (e.g., sounds, words, and sentence length) and gradual refinement, and understanding of the subtler and more complex points of usage (e.g., using “taught” rather than “teached”). Readers are encouraged to explore the literature in the field of language development to better understand and appreciate the oral language skills students may bring to the reading process. Speech and language pathologists are a great resource for identifying resources in this area and assisting in determining whether a child’s language skills are developing normally and providing support when assessment and intervention may be required. Phonology The study of speech structure within a language, including both the patterns of basic speech units and the accepted rules of pronunciation, is known as phonology. The smallest units of sound that make up a language are called phonemes. For example, the word “that” contains three phonemes the “th” represents one phoneme /th/, the “a” maps to the short a sound /ă/, and the “t” to its basic sound /t/. Morphology Moving to the next...
