What is structural grammar?
THE SENTENCE

It is a set of words that


they have a unit of meaning and that
they have syntactic independence.
It is generally formed by a subject and a
predicate.

a) Subject: it is about whom is spoken in the sentence.


b) Predicate: it is about whom one speaks of the subject.

-To find the subject, the following are done


questions: Who or whom?
Who were running quickly? The children (subject).

Everything that is not a subject is a predicate, including the


verb. Predicate: (ran swiftly)

The boy was running quickly.


subject predicate
al razin
alap
rF
m

sentence

1. Syntactic Analysis: studies the order of the


words in the sentence and their relationship, such as
its congruence with each other.

2. Semantic Analysis: the meaning of each


word in the sentence.

3. Morphological Analysis: it is the form that


change the word.
Syntactic Analysis:

Subject Predicate

The boy was running swiftly.


Morphological Analysis:

The boy was running swiftly.


The girl I was running Invariable
The children he was running
The girls you were running
nosotros corríamos
G and N you (plural) were running
they were running
N and P

Semantic Analysis
Types of subjects
Simple Subject: It has only one core.

The self emerges from the lack of humility.

2. Compound subject: It has two or more nuclei.

Example: Comedies and eclogues are genres


literary

3. Implied Subject: It is when the subject is not present.


written. Example: We listen to music.
(implicit subject: "We")
Direct modifier of the subject
It directly modifies the core, usually it is an article.

Example:

SS P
Md N

The self It stands out due to the lack of humility.

SS = Express subject
P = Predicate
Md= Direct modifier.
N = Core of the subject
Indirect subject modifier
It is the one that modifies the subject's nucleus that is connected by a
preposition that functions as a link.

Example: Indirect modifier


Modificador de construcción
CC comparison

It is used to highlight a negative aspect or


positive or a characteristic of the noun.
also use the following endings:
(how, which and such).

Example: The marimba, as an instrument


indigenous that makes my heart vibrate.
Apposition Modifier

It is a modifier that adds meaning to the


subject for further information.

Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.


subject Apposition
The predicate
The predicate is recognized by the verb.

Types of predicates:

According to the nucleus, there is the predicate:

Simple: it consists of a single verb.


Compound: it consists of two or more verbs.

According to your syntactic analysis, there are:

Nominal predicate: uses copulative verbs (to be, to be, to seem,


to have.
Verbal predicate: it consists of any other verb, that is, not
use copulative verbs.
Direct Object O.D.
The direct object indicates upon whom the action falls.
Keys to find:
Use attached pronouns (le, les, se)
Ask the question "what?"

Object or Indirect Complement I.D.


The indirect object is the complement in which it receives
the action of the verb, therefore it is the recipient of
subject.
Keys to find:
Use the preposition for or to
•Ask the question "for whom?" Or "to whom?"
Example of the Direct Object D.O.
And Indirect Object I.D.

S.E.S = Simple Express Subject


N= Core either of the subject or the predicate.
P.V.S = Simple Verbal Predicate
Nexo
M.D. Direct Modifier
Modifier of the
predicative 'Agent'
The agent is a component of the predicate that denotes an action by
the same predicate.

Features:

It is a sentence in passive voice.


To find it, one must use the preposition 'for.'

Example:
Classification of the
verbs
1. Copulative: they are links or copulas. (to be, to be, to seem)
She must be eating.

2. Transitive: they always require a direct object, that is to say they carry a
complement

Example: We bought bread with chicken.

3. Intransitive: it is not necessary for them to have a complement.

José speaks.
Types of sentences
1. Bimembre sentences: Bimembre sentences are those that
they contain the two members: the Subject and the Predicate.

Example:
Alexander arrived late.
Where 'Alexander' is the Subject and 'arrived late' is the Predicate.

2. Oraciones unimembres: Las oraciones unimembres son aquellas


in which the two components cannot be recognized, as they are
simple expressions that externalize a feeling, a
emotion, a courtesy or that describe a fact of reality.

Example: Stop right there!
