Quest 5th July 2004, 06:56 AM Can anyone please break down the sentence struture in Mandarin to me?! hey sure we will write a grammar book just for you, how's that? Altair 5th July 2004, 09:16 AM Since Mandarin makes limited use of prefixes and suffixes, a great deal of the grammar is encoded in the sentence structure. To explain the sentence structure would require explaining almost all the grammar of the language. Although some books state that Mandarin grammar is simple, this is not really true. It has great complexity. One major difference between Mandarin and English is that Mandarin seems to be a "topic"-oriented language, whereas English is a "subject"-oriented language. Mandarin also has rhythmic constraints that do not exist in English. Another major difference is the fact that Mandarin verbs reflect differences in aspect, much more than any difference in tense. In English, tense and aspect are all jumbled up, with tense generally being a more important concept. Yet another consistent difference is that Mandarin has a consistent preference for putting the general before the specific. Because of this, modifyers almost always precede what they modify. All of these differences have implications for sentence structure.

It is a "humbug's" grammar for three reasons: first, all the examples and accompanying exercises sentences are taken from Dickens' A Christmas Carol save those few written by me about A Christmas Carol ; second, most students find grammar a humbug perpetrated upon them by English and other language teachers; third, and I hope least, my own knowledge in this area is not that of a scholar and what I have learned has only convinced me that anyone who has not invested more time than I have is something of a humbug if he or she believes they truly understand how English works.

Using the Grammar Notes Words Sentence Structure Vocabulary is much more important for understanding French than grammar is. If you understand the meanings of the words in a text, you can usually make pretty good sense of it without any grammatical knowledge. However , when you get down to details, and want to be precise in your understanding, some grammatical knowledge is usually essential. You need to know how the verb system works, so as to understand when something happened, or if it didn't actually happen, but just might have. You need to know about word order so you can be sure when you read L'homme que mord le chien that the man isn't biting the dog. about how Grammar can help you.

Example Grammar you don't need Differences Sentence Structure Why Study Grammar? You might ask: Why bother with grammar if I'm just trying to understand a text? Well, Grammar is one of the things that generate meaning in language. The main part of the meaning of a sentence comes from words (this is the meaning you look up in a dictionary). However, this lexical meaning is changed and added to by the way the words are fitted together, the grammatical meaning Example: Word Order Word order is one of the ways both English and French use to change meanings. Dog bites man is not the same as Man bites dog because one of the essential rules of English grammar is that subjects (which do things) normally precede the verb, while objects (which are done things to) follow it. This is usually the case in French too, but there are some common exceptions: In L'homme qu'attaque le chien the last phrase le chien is the subject of attaque , so it's the dog that does the attacking. So word order in this example tells you who is doing something and who is being done something to; which participant is active and which passive. To know when this is likely to happen, you need to recognize that qu'attaque le chien is a relative clause, and know that in French relative clauses the subject very often comes last. So you have to know something about

This article is a revised version of Chapter 6 from Wenze Hu's Ph.D dissertation. For detailed discussion on some of the terms and notions in this article, please refer to Hu (1995).

"INVERTED" SENTENCES, PRAGMATICS AND THE EMERGENT GRAMMAR Wenze Hu (C) Introduction 1.1 Preliminary Inverted Sentences In Chinese, inverted sentences are syntactic phenomena found exclusively in the conversational discourse. It is characteristic of inverted sentences to place various pre-verbal elements, for example, subject, auxiliary, and adverb to the end of the sentence: The early mention of "inverted sentences" can be found in Li (1924: 31). Although such phenomena may be found across Chinese dialects, those in Beijing dialect have caught special attention from many linguists. The phenomena are documented by Chao (1968: 69). Chao refers to the following sentences as "inverted sentences," in that the normal order of subject-predicate of these sentences is reversed. At the same time, Chao also treats sentences (7)-(10) as containing "inverted subjects" (1968: 323, 673-674), regarding grammatical objects in these sentences as logical subjects.

Grammar includes Syntax (rules of sentence structure) and Transformations (the rules to change that structure). When I think of Grammar, I think of two thingsSyntax, the rules of Structure; and Transformations, the rules to change that structure. Structure Rules: In the real world, we are often wanting to communicate about someone who is doing something to someone else or something, somewhere at sometime. There are two structural systems that languages may use to communicate these relationships. These are Inflectional and/or Analytic systems. Inflectional Languages: One method is by using bound morphemes to create different word endings (inflections) to reflect these relationships. Languages that rely heavily on this are called Inflectional Languages. Russian is a fine example of a language that is highly inflectional. For example the word cat (kashka) has the inflection "a" on the end. This means the cat is the actor. NOTES: Some more information on structure in language.
