Syntatic linkage
Use by speaker to signal wich words can be linked to
form a pharse and wich pharases can be linked to
form coherent clauses
Agreement
 it is form of cross reference between different
contituents of a sentence or phrase
 the aggrement base on overt grammatical numbers
formal agrement
 example :
 she works
 In contrast notional agreement is based on meaning
 Example :
 this class is large
 the class are discussing abut new rules
Common type of agreement
 grammatical person :
 i am versus he is
 Grammatical number:
 one car versus two car iam versus we are
 Grammatical gender :
 jenny loves her cat vs jimmy love his cat
 Grammatical case :
 i told him versus he told me
 Subject and verbs must agree in number :
 The dog growls when he is angry
 The dogs growl when they angry

 When sentences start with there or here the
subject will always be placed after the verb :
 There is a problem with the balance sheet
 here the papers you requested
 Make sure you accurately identify the subject before deciding
on the proper verb form to use :
 Does lefty ussually eat grass
 where are the pieces of this puzzels
 When the gerunds are used as the subject of the sentence
they take singular verb form but when they are linked by and
they take the plural form
 Standing in the water was a bad idea
 swimming in the ocean and playing drums are my hobbies
 Indenfinite pronouns typically take singular verbs
 Everybody wants to be love
 Except for the pronouns few many several both all some that
always take the plural form
 Few were left alive after the flood
GOVERNMENT
 GOVERTMENT
 Govertment in english grammar can befound in 
case 
 Case refers to grammatical relathionship of nuns or
pronouns with other words in a clause or sentence
 Pronouns show three case distinctions
 Nonimative (subjective)
 I, you , he , she , it , we , they
 Genitive ( possesive )
 My , your , his , her , our , their
 Accusative ( objective )
 Me, you, him, her, us, them
NUMBER and PERSON LINKAGE
 (12) Latin
a. reks legit
the-king is-reading
b. reges legunt
the-kings are-reading
In (12a), reks is singular and the verb leg- (read) has the suffix
-it, which
is singular. In (12b), reges is plural and leg- has the suffix -unt,
which is
plural. The traditional formula is that the verb agrees with the
subject
noun in number (and person).
For and against verb phrases
The central word is the head and the other words and phrases are its
modifiers, which typically occur next to their head. Such phrases
move around together, can be replaced by a single word and can be
ellipted. Example:
(1) The Ethel that we knew and loved has left  just packed her bags and
walked out.
(2) Emma insulted Miss Bates and annoyed Mr Knightley.
Verb, core, nucleus and periphery
Adverbs are a very large and heterogeneous class, and in at
least one construction  the middle construction  adverbs
of manner seem to be obligatory with some verbs.
For example, Her new book reads well is quite acceptable but
Her new book reads is not acceptable.
The split between nucleus and periphery is sometimes
replaced by a three-way split between core, nucleus and
periphery. The core of a clause is the verb, the nucleus is the
verb plus complements as described above, and the
periphery is also as described above.
Examples are given in (9)(11)
(9) Latin
a. pugnatur
was-fought There was fighting
b. tonuit
thundered There was thunder
(10) Turkish
konus, ul maz [one word]
spoken Passive Negative It is not spoken, i.e. No speaking
(11) Luganda (Africa  Bantu language)
a li gi goba [one word]
she Future it chase She will chase it (a chicken)
