1. Basic Assumption of Linguistic analysis and domains of Grammatical Studies
Linguistic analysis refers to the scientific analysis of a language sample. It involves at least one of the five main branches of linguistics, which are phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Linguistic analysis can be used to describe the unconscious rules and processes that speakers of a language use to create spoken or written language, and this can be useful to those who want to learn a language or translate from one language to another. The discipline of linguistics is defined as the scientific study of language. Phonology refers to the study of the sounds of a language. Semantics is the study of meaning in language. Pragmatics is the study of the social use of language- how the status of the individuals involved in the speech act could affect the meaning of a given utterance. . Morphology is a field of linguistics focused on the study of the forms and formation of words in a language. Syntax is the discipline that examines the rules of a language that dictate how the various parts of sentences go together. Syntax is the study of sentence structure. Every language has its own rules for combining words to create sentences. Syntactic analysis attempts to define and describe the rules that speakers use to put words together to create meaningful phrases and sentences.
Linguistic analysis has been used to determine historical relationships between languages and people from different regions of the world. Grammar - the systematic study and description of a language. A set of rules and examples dealing with the syntax and word structures (morphology) of a language.
2. Noun: gender, number, case
Noun is the part of speech that is used to name a person, place, thing, quality, or action and can function as the subject or object of a verb, the object of a preposition, or an appositive.
As any other part of speech, the noun can be characterised by three criteria: semantic, morphological and syntactical.
Semantic: 1)According to the type of nomination they may be proper and common; 2)According to the form of existence they may be animate and inanimate; 3)According to their quantitative structure nouns can be countable and uncountable.
Morphological : simple, derived; compound and composite.
Syntactic: the noun can be used in the sentence in all syntactic functions but predicate.
There are four types of gender nouns in English.
Masculine gender nouns are words for men, boys, and male animals.
Feminine gender nouns are words for women, girls and female animals.
Common gender nouns are nouns that are used for both males and females.(teachers, students)
Neuter gender nouns are words for things that are not alive. (school, chair, fair)
The category of number
Singular, plural.
Singularia tantum. It covers different groups of nouns: proper names, abstract nouns, material nouns, collective nouns;
Pluralia tantum. It covers the names of objects consisting of several parts (jeans), names of sciences (mathematics), names of diseases, games, etc.
