  3. Vocabulary : • abhor • It’s not enough to say that my dad doesn’t like lying—he absolutely abhors it. • conviction • I admire her so much because she makes good moral choices not because she’s afraid of getting caught doing wrong, but because of her personal convictions. • desolate • When I looked around at my intellectually desolate 3rd hour, I knew that when I was put in a group to work, I would be doing all of it. • rectify • When my Physics professor took points off for not showing our work, he agreed to rectify the situation by giving us our points back. • synthesis • Although I don’t like any of those ingredients on its own, the synthesis of them is delicious!

  4. More clause work • A clause is • a group of words having a subject and a verb. • An independent clause • can stand alone as a sentence. • A dependent clause • is always used as some part of speech. It cannot • stand alone as a sentence. • A phrase is a • group of words used as a sentence part. • It does not have • a subject and a verb.

  5. So far we have been looking at phrases more or less in isolation. In real use, of course, they occur in isolation only in very restricted circumstances. For example, we find isolated NPs in public signs and notices: • [Exit] [Sale] [Restricted Area] [Hyde Park] • We sometimes use isolated phrases in spoken English, especially in responses to questions: • Q: What would you like to drink? A: [NP Coffee] • Q: How are you today? A: [AP Fine] • Q: Where did you park the car? A: [PP Behind the house] • In more general use, however, phrases are integrated into longer units, which we call CLAUSES: • Q: What would you like to drink? A: [I'd like coffee] • Q: How are you today? A: [I'm fine] • Q: Where did you park the car? A: [I parked the car behind the house] • More About Clauses • As a working definition, let us say that clauses contain at least a verb phrase: • [MC [VP Stop]] • [MC David [VP composed an aria] when he was twelve] • [MC My solicitor [VP sent me a letter] yesterday] • As these examples show, clauses can also contain many other elements.

  6. The Grammatical Hierarchy: Words, Phrases, Clauses, and Sentences • Words, phrases, clauses, and sentences constitute what is called the GRAMMATICAL HIERARCHY. We can represent this schematically as follows: • sentences • consist of one or more... • clauses • consist of one or more... • phrases • consist of one or more... • words • Sentences are at the top of the hierarchy, so they are the largest unit (although sentences form another type of unit... At the other end of the hierarchy, words are at the lowest level, though again, some grammars go below the word to consider morphology, the study of how words are constructed.
