Revision as of 10:57, 26 April 2017
In Week 1 and the exercises on Parts of Speech and Predicates and their Arguments, we dealt with two concepts: words and phrases belong to different parts of speech and they take semantic and syntactic arguments.
This week, we will deal with both topics in greater detail and will also introduce a format for representing linguistic information.
Parts of Speech again
Our online grammar uses the following 7 parts of speech:
| Type | Full name | Symbol | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| n | noun | N | Lilly, she, her, I, me, him, we, us, it, cat, letter |
| v | verb | V | visit, like, must, to, see, saw, seen, seeing, seen |
| a | adjective | A | big, new, red |
| p | preposition | P | to, of, with |
| d | determiner | D | the, a, any |
| adv | adverb | Adv | early, very, not |
| c | complementizer | C | that, whether, if |
