Week 4 Introduction to the course: English Grammar (syllabus, teaching plan, description of assessment, self-introduction) / Introduction: Grammatical Hierarchy // Sentence structure

1. Introduction: Grammatical Hierarchy (Introduction Section)

Grammar is the structural system of a language. The grammar of the English language is organized into five ranks: the sentence, the clause, the phrase, the word and the morpheme. Each ran is composed of one or more than one grammatical unit of the immediate lower rank. Thus the sentence is a grammatical unit that consists of one or more than one clause; the clause, one or more than one

grammatical unit while the morphem is the minimum or the lowest rank. A full sentence can generally be segmented rank by rank down to its smallest constituents—the morphemes.

0.1 Merphemes

The morphese is the minimum or smallest grammatical unit, also the smallest meaningful element of speech. Morpheses fall into two categories: free morphemes and bound morpheses.

1) Free morphemes

2) Bound morphemes

3) Allomorphs

0.2 Words

The word is composed of one or more than one morpheme. Words can be classified in two ways:

1) Classification in terms of word-formation

2) Classification in terms of grammatical function

0.3 Phrases

The phrase is composed of one or more than one word. Generally, the phrase is a group of word organized in a specific way with a key word as its head. The word class of the head determines the class of the phrase and the way in which the words are organized.

1) The noun phrase

2) The verb phrase

3) The adjective phrase

4) The adverb phrase

5) The preepositonal phrase

0.4 Clauses

The clause is composed of one or more than more phrase. A full-fledged clause is structurally a sequence of phrases and logically a construction of ―subject+ predicate‖.
