5:27:00 PM

Assalamualaikum wr.wb
Have a nice day, I would talk to all of you about part of pure linguistics. It’s SYNTAX. So, keep enjoy guys!!
Do you know about Syntax???


Syntax is the part of linguistics that studies sentence structure /// The study of the structure of phrases or sentences and the rules governing how words are combined to form phrases/sentences.

Jadi Syntax  adalah salah satu dari cabang ilmu linguistik yang mempelajari kaidah yang menentukan bagaimana kata membentuk frasa dan frasa membentuk kalimat.
Syntax is not about meaning! Sentences can have no sense and still be grammatically correct.
We put words into categories or logical groups, according to how they work within parts of speech , phrases, clauses or sentences.
These categories, traditionally called parts of speech are now more usually known as word classes.
1.       Parts of Speech
Parts of speech are labels for categories in which we usually place words. The traditional parts of speech including the two, these were:

• Open class – content words (kata-kata inti/pokok) – nouns, verbs, adjectives, interjections and adverbs.
Closed class function words (kata-kata fungsi/kegunaan) – determiners, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions.

2.       Phrase
Phrase is a group of two or more words that express a single idea but do not usually form a complete sentence. There are 5 main categories of phrases, are:

Type of Phrase
Information and examples
Noun  Phrase
A noun phrase consist of a noun and other related words (usually get determiners). It functions like a noun in a sentence.
Examples:
a nice red skirt, a glass, the girl with blue eyes
Prepositional Phrase

A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition, object of preposition (noun or pronoun) and may also consist of other modifiers. A prepositional phrase functions as an adjective or adverb in a sentence.
Examples:
The man in the room is our teacher.             (As adjective)
She is shouting in a loud voice.           (As adverb)
Verb Phrase
A verb phrase is a combination of main verb and auxiliaries (helping verbs) in a sentence.
Examples:
He is eating an orange
She has finished her assignment
Adjective Phrase

An adjective phrase is a group of words that functions like an adjective in a sentence to a noun or pronoun.
Examples:
The girl with brown hair is writing a letter
She is a beautiful girl in the class
Adverb Phrase
An adverb phrase is a group of words that functions as an adverb in a sentence. It consists of adverbs or other words (preposition, noun, verb)
Examples:
She reads this chapter novel loudly


3.       Clause

Clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. A clause is either independent or dependent. There are two main categories of clauses, they are:

·         An independent clause (main clause) is a complete sentence. It contains the main subject and verb of a sentence.
Ex: Diana lives in japan

·         A dependent clause (subordinate clause) is not a complete sentence. It must be connected to an independent clause.
Ex: When my father arrived, I was cooking fried rice.

4.       Sentence
Sentence is the largest grammatical unit in language. Usually containing a verb and a predicate.
Simple sentence ialah kalimat yang terdiri dari satu independent clause
Example: I go to campus in this morning
Compound sentence ialah kalimat yang terdiri dari dua atau lebih dari satu independent clause
Example: Nabila and desi wake up at 5.00 am, and they cook fried rice together

    1. thanks saaay,,
      ok i'll try to give you information about ambiguity.
      so, ambiguity is more than one possible structure for the same string of words.
      for the examples :
      1. I saw a man with a telescope. (Who has the telescope, me or the man?)
      2. We need more intelligent leaders. (need more or more intelligent?)
      jadi, ambiguity itu terdapat lebih dari satu maksud dalam kalimatnya. jadi, itu membuat rancu dan bingungnya. tapi dalam grammaticalnya sudah memenuhi syarat kok

    1. wkwkwwk thanks bg. semoga bisa lebih baik lagi kedepannya.
      hmm menurut adek, sangat penting bagi kita untuk mempelajari syntax apalagi bagi kita sebagai anak bahasa. karena, syntax itu kan mengajarkan tentang struktur bahasa, bagaimana grammatical correct yang baik dalam suatu kalimat. jadi saat melakukan writing seperti proposal atau skripsi, kita bisa menggunakan yang pembelajaran syntax ini. syntax kan tersusun teratur.
      untuk info lebih lanjut bg mana bisa tanyain ke adek langsung. see you
