principle of function , or combinability (the position of a word in the sentence is the syntactic function of word). Being a structuralist, he would not speak of function: function is meaning while position is not. His classification is not beyond criticism. First, not all relevant positions were tested. Class 3 words are said to be used in the position of good (Frame A). But the most typical position of these words is before Class l words. If this position had been used by the scholar, such words as woolen , wooden , golden , etc. (i.e. relative adjectives) would have found their place in the classification. But if he had done it, the classification would have collapsed, for their position can be filled by other word-classes: nouns, numerals, pronouns. Second, his functional classes are very much ‘splintered’, i.e. broken into small groups. This is good for practice but bad for theory, for theoretical grammar is more interested in uniting linguistic facts than in separating them. Third, being deprived of meaning, his word-classes are “faceless”, i.e. they 18 have no character. No wonder, other structuralists deemed it necessary to return to traditional terminology and to use the criterion of form and, additionally, position. жүктеу/скачать 0,5 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
