Deskripsi


The book English Syntax and Morphology provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental aspects of English language structure, focusing on syntax the arrangement of words and phrases to create meaningful sentences and morphology the study of word formation and internal structure. It covers topics ranging from basic concepts of morphemes and allomorphs, the distinction between data types (qualitative and quantitative), and the intricacies of phrase structure, to complex sentence constructions and the interrelation between syntax, semantics, and other linguistic disciplines. The text delves into the roles and properties of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and conjunctions, and examines morphological processes like derivation and inflection. Additionally, it explores syntactic operations such as movement, agreement, case marking, ellipsis, and coordination, alongside offering insights into generative grammar, functional grammar, and cognitive grammar perspectives. The book also discusses morphological typology, differentiating between synthetic and analytic languages, and highlights the interaction between syntax and semantics, particularly through thematic roles and argument structure. Through its chapters, the book not only sheds light on English syntax and morphology but also emphasizes their significance in understanding language structure, usage, and variation.
