Chapter 4 Syntax
1. What is syntax?
Syntax is a branch of linguistics that studies how words are combined to form sentences and the rules that govern the formation of sentences.
2. What is phrase structure rule?
The grammatical mechanism that regulates the arrangement of elements (i.e. specifiers, heads, and complements) that make up a phrase is called a phrase structure rule.
The phrase structural rule for NP, VP, AP, and PP can be written as follows:
NP →(Det) N (PP) ...
VP →(Qual) V (NP) ...
AP →(Deg) A (PP) ...
PP →(Deg) P (NP) ...
We can formulate a single general phrasal structural rule in which X stands for the head N, V, A or P.
3. What is category? How to determine a word's category?
Category refers to a group of linguistic items which fulfill the same or similar functions in a particular language such as a sentence, a noun phrase or a verb.
To determine a word's category, three criteria are usually employed, namely meaning, inflection and distribution.
若详细回答，则要加上：
Word categories often bear some relationship with its meaning. The meanings associated with nouns and verbs can be elaborated in various ways. The property or attribute of the entities denoted by nouns can be elaborated by adjectives. For example, when we say that pretty lady, we are attributing the property ‘pretty’ to the lady designated by the noun. Similarly, the propertie s and attributes of the actions, sensations and states designated by verbs can typically be denoted by adverbs. For example, in Jenny left quietly the adverb quietly indicates the manner of Jenny's leaving.
The second criterion to determine a word's category is inflection. Words of different categories take different inflections. Such nouns as boy and desk take the plural affix -s. Verbs such as work and help take past tense affix -ed and progressive affix -ing. And adjectives like quiet and clever take comparative affix -er and superlative affix -est. Although inflection is very helpful in determining a word's category, it does not always suffice. Some words do not take inflections. For example, nouns like moisture, fog, do not usually take plural suffix -s and adjectives like frequent, intelligent do not take comparative and superlative affixes -er and -est.
The last and more reliable criterion of determining a word's category is its distribution. That is what type of elements can co-occur with a certain word. For example, nouns can typically appear with a determiner like the girl and a card, verbs with an auxiliary such as should stay and will go, and
adjectives with a degree word such as very cool and too bright.
A word's distributional facts together with information about its meaning and inflectional capabilities help identify its syntactic category.
4. What is coordinate structure and what properties does it have?
The structure formed by joining two or more elements of the same type with the help of a conjunction is called coordinate structures.
It has (或写Conjunction exhibits) four important properties:
1) There is no limit on the number of coordinated categories that can appear prior to the conjunction.
2) A category at any level (a head or an entire XP) can be coordinated.
3) Coordinated categories must be of the same type.
4) The category type of the coordinate phrase is identical to the category type of the elements being
conjoined.
5. What elements does a phrase contain and what role does each element play?
A phrase usually contains the following elements: head, specifier and complement. Sometimes it also contains another kind of element termed modifier.
The role each element can play:
Head:
Head is the word around which a phrase is formed.
Specifier:
Specifier has both special semantic and syntactic roles. Semantically, it helps to make more precise the meaning of the head. Syntactically, it typically marks a phrase boundary.
Complement:
Complements are themselves phrases and provide information about entities and locations whose existence is implied by the meaning of the head.
Modifier:
Modifiers specify optionally expressible properties of the heads.
6. What is deep structure and what is surface structure?
There are two levels of syntactic structure. The first, formed by the XP rule in accordance with the head's subcategorization properties, is called deep structure(or D-structure). The second, corresponding to the final syntactic form of the sentence which results from appropriate transformations, is called surface structure (or S-structure).
（以下几题只作初步的的成分划分，未画树形图, 仅供参考）
7. Indicate the category of each word in the following sentences.

Det A N V P Det N Adv

Det N Adv V P Det N
c) The blinding snowstorm might delay the opening of the schools.
Det A N Aux V Det N P Det N
d) This cloth feels quite soft.
Det N V Deg A
8. The following phrases include a head, a complement, and a specifier. Draw the appropriate
tree structure for each.
a) rich in minerals
XP(AP) →head (rich) A + complement (in minerals) PP
b) often read detective stories
XP(VP) →specifier (often) Qual +head (read) V +complement (detective stories) NP
c) the argument against the proposals
XP(NP) →specifier (the) Det +head (argument) N +complement (against the proposals) PP d) already above the window
XP(VP) →specifier (already) Deg +head (above) P +complement (the window) NP
d) The apple might hit the man.
S →NP (The apple) + Infl (might) +VP (hit the man)
e) He often reads detective stories.
S →NP (He) +VP (often reads detective stories)

b) A huge moon hung in the black sky.

《新编简明英语语言学教程》第二版课后练习题答案
《新编简明英语语言学教程》第二版练习题参考答案 Chapter 1 Introduction 1. How do you interpret the following definition of linguistics: Linguistics is the scientific study of language. 答：Linguistics is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data, conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure. In order to discover the nature and rules of the underlying language system, the linguists has to collect and observe language facts first, which are found to display some similarities, and generalizations are made about them; then he formulates some hypotheses about the language structure. The hypotheses thus formed have to be checked repeatedly against the observed facts to fully prove their validity. In linguistics, as in any other discipline, data and theory stand in a dialectical complementation, that is, a theory without the support of data can hardly claim validity, and data without being explained by some theory remain a muddled mass of things. 2. What are the major branches of linguistics? What does each of them study? 答：The major branches of linguistics are: (1) phonetics: it studies the sounds used in linguistic communication; (2) phonology: it studies how sounds are put together and used to convey meaning in communication; (3) morphology: it studies the way in which linguistic symbols representing sounds are arranged and combined to form words; (4) syntax: it studies the rules which govern how words are combined to form grammatically permissible sentences in languages;

Open class words开放性词类: In English, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs make up the largest part of vocabulary. They are content words of a language.，which are sometimes called open class words, since new words can be added to these classes regularly. 在英语中，名词、动词、 形容词和副词占词汇的绝大部分。他们是一门语言中的实义词，由于我们经常可以在这类词中加入新词，所以他们有时也称开放性词类。 2. Close classes word封闭性词类：Conjunctions, prepositions, articles and pronouns is small and stable since few new words are added , therefore such words have been referred to as closed class words. 构成连词、介词、冠词和代词的词相对较少，通常不添加新词，所以被称为封闭性词类。

Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. Characteristics: ①language is system,elements of language are combined according to the rules;
②language is arbitrary in the sense that there is no intrinsic connection between a linguistic symbol and what it stands for, A rose by any other name would smell as well; ③language is vocal because the primary medium for all language is sound; Language is a system which consists of two structures. At the lower level there is a structure of sounds,which are meaningless by themselves.But the sounds can grouped or regrouped together into a larger numbers of units of meaning such as morpheme or words,which are found at the higher level of system(carp & park).Then the higher level can be arranged and rearranged into an infinite numbers of sentences;
