THE HISTORY OF THEORETICAL GRAMMAR DEVELOPMENTTHE SUBJECT OF TG. ANALYTICAL CHARACTER OF ENGLISH 1. 3 main parts of Lang: the phonological system, the lexical S, the grammatical S. 2. G – the system of rules of changing of wds and the rules & regulations of their combining in the sce 8mphgy (rules of words changing) & stx (of word comb…) The aim of TG: present a theoretical description of the gr sys. 3. 2 planes of lang: plane of content (purely semantical); plane of expression (material (formal) units of lang, apart from mng So, G= unity of PofC & PofEx. But this corr-ce – diff: synmy & polsmy(‘s,s,s 1pe 1pc: will u come/be coming/ are u coming.. ? 4. Syntagmatic & Paradygmatic rel-ns. Sntc – immediate, linear rel-ns btw wds in a segm-l seq-cy. Syntagma – 2 wds(H+A 4 types of Sgma: predicative, objective, attributive, adverbial. in praesentia Pdmc exist btw elements of the sstm, outside the strings whr they occur. in absentia 5. Units of the lang: segmental & supraseg-l (not exist by themselves – inton-n, accents, pauses, WO patterns). The hierarchy of seg-l units: 1)phonemic level; 2) morphemic; 3) lexemic (of wds); 4) phrasemic;5)prosemic (of sce 6) supra-prosemic (~paragraph); 7) of text; 8)discourse (f.e., a dialogue) 6. Eng – an anlcal lang.Mostly – in Vs: anl V-form (P,#,T,As,V,M) + Not-l V (inf/p-cle) The analytical forms: 1) Tense & Aspect V-forms (Ct, Pf, PfCt, all Fut, ‘?’, ‘-‘) 2) The Passive Voice 3) The Analytical form of the Subj mood 4) Some degrees of comp-n of adjs. Chief features of the analytical lang: 1. Comparatively few gram-l inflexions. Endings: 1) s (3rdPSg), 2) s (Npl), 3) (r)en (Npl), 4) ’s (Poss.c), 5) ed (PastSim of reg V), 6) ing (P1,Ger), 7) –en (P2 irrV), 8) er,est 2. A rare use of sound alterations to denote gram-l forms (speak-spoke, man-men) 3. A wide use of prepositions to denote rel-ns btw objects. 4. Prominent use of WO to denote gr-l rel-ns, a more or less fixed WO. 5. Extensive use of substitutes (one, that, do) THE HISTORY OF THEORETICAL GRAMMAR DEVELOPMENT 1. HoTG is roughly divided into 2 period: 1) prescientific G (end 19th – 1900): the early pre-norm-ve Gs; prescriptive(n-ve)G 2) classical scientific G: clas sc G, structural (descr-ve) G, TGG. I. 1) Until the 17th cent – “G” applied only to the study of Latin (thonly G studied in schl 1 of the most pop&earlis LGs written in Eng–William Lily–the 1st half of the 16th imp coz the arrang of mat–f.e. in Bullokar’s G–5 cases of Ns & 6 genders(in Lily: 6-6) 1st half of the 17th – Johnson’s & Butler’s Eng G (number of cases – 2) By the middle of the 18th cent – in preNor Gs: 1.

Syntax: in Brightland’s G – the introduction of the notion ‘sce’: simple, compound. I. 2) from the 2nd hf of the 18th.

II.By the 19th the description of G was completed. Sweet “New Eng G, logical & hist-l” “whatever is in general use in lang is for that reason gram-ly correct”. ScG – both descr & expl-ry. Sweet: mng, form, f-n. IIa Modern period: 1) 1900-1940’s – only 2 types: PScr & ClasSc; 2) fr 40’s – Str &Trsf PScrG – Nesfield: 5 cases, while Sweet&Jesp: 2.
