Practice I Main grammar notions Syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations. Grammar categories
Task 1: join the given language elements thus to form syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations between or among them.
Has been cleaning, meaning, an, has been peeled, beauty, they, girl, potato, he, meaningful, slowly, cleaned, she, the, is peeling, oranges, flat, quickly, we, definitely, to clean, orange, teenager, a, fresh, boy, adult, means, beautiful, have been peeled
For example:
The words ‘boy’, ‘girl’, ‘teenager’, ‘adult’ form a paradigmatic class of nouns that name people of different age and sex.
The words ‘means’, ‘meaning’, ‘meaningful’, ‘meant’ create a paradigm of forms of the word ‘mean’.
The combination ‘an adult meant potato’ form syntagmatic relations of the mentioned words.
Task 2: characterize the given in the task №1 language elements as for their Grammar Meanings, Forms and Categories.
For example:
Has been peeled: can be characterized with:
a) the Grammar Meaning of the Verb (it expresses an action);
b) the Grammar Form of the Present Perfect Simple (have+been+V3), 3rd Person Singular (has), Active Voice (be+V3);
c) the Grammar Categories of the Tense (Present from the choice of Past, Present and Future), Aspect (Perfect Simple from the choice of Simple, Continuous, Perfect Simple and Perfect Continuous) and Voice (Passive from the choice of Active and Passive).
