Linguistic expressions as sequences of sounds represented phonetically
Linguistic expressions as sequence of morphemes
With these descriptions, we could characterize all the words of a language in terms of their phonetic and morphological make-up
Structural Analysis

Method involves “test-frames” which can be sentences with empty slots in them

Exercise O! lest the world should task you to recite What merit lived in me, that you should love After my death,—dear love, forget me quite, For you in me can nothing worthy prove; Unless you would devise some virtuous lie, To do more for me than mine own desert, And hang more praise upon deceased I Than niggard truth would willingly impart: O! lest your true love may seem false in this, That you for love speak well of me untrue, My name be buried where my body is, And live no more to shame nor me nor you. For I am sham'd by that which I bring forth, And so should you, to love things nothing worth.

Some adverbs (really, very) are also used with adjectives to modify the information about …things‟ (really large objects, very stupid ideas)⍓Preposition–words (at, in, on, near, with, without) used with nouns in phrases providing information about time (at five, in the morning), place (on the table, near the window) and other connections (with a knife, without a thought) involving actions and thingsPronouns–words (me, they, he, himself, this, it) used in place of noun phrases, typically referring to things already known (he likes himself, this is it!)Conjunctions–words (and, but, although, if) used to connect, and indicate relationships between, events and things (we swam although it was very cold)9.2.2 Traditional categoriesThese terms, used to label the grammatical categories of words in sentences, come from traditional grammar, which has its origins in the description of languages like Classical Latin and Greek.These categories can be discussed in isolation, but their role in describing language structure becomes clearer when we consider them in terms of agreement3.❶ Number– whether the noun is singular and plural❷ Person–first person (involving the speaker), second person (involving the hearer) and third person (involving any others)❸ Tense4–past tense, present tense⌧ Voice5– active voice & passive voice⍓ Gender6– natural gender & grammatical genderare usually described in terms of person and number.The boy likes his dog⑥ the verb likes agrees with the third person singular noun boy⑥ the verb likes is in the present tense, which is distinguished from the past tense (liked)⑥ the sentence is in the active voice, with the boy doing the liking; an alternative is the passive voice, in which the liking is done to the boy, as in The boy is liked by his doy.⑥his agrees with boy because of natural genderIn English, we have to describe the relationship of boy and his in terms of natural gender, mainly derived from a biological distinction between male and female.he, his– male entitiesshe, her – female entitiesit, its– sexless entities, or animals when the sex of the animal is irrelevantIn Spanish, German, and French, we use grammatical gender. Nouns are classified according to their gender class and, typically, articles and adjectives take different forms to …agree with‟ the gender of the noun.Spanish: el sol (…the sun‟) - masculine; la luna (…the moon‟) – feminineGerman: der Mond (…the moon‟) – masculine; die Sonne (…the sun‟) – feminine; das Feuer (…the fire) - neuter9.2.3 Traditional analysis❶The prescriptive approach规定式– an approach taken by some grammarians, mainly in 18th century England, who set out rules for the correct or …proper‟use of England.
