Syntactic Function
Abstract: Syntactic function plays a role in the ntence. Also it is important for English learning. One ntence has many components. Different components have different functions. And we can analysis the components by syntactic function so that we can understand the ntence well. In other hand it is help us to improve our writing skill.
Key words: syntactic, function, subject, predicate, object, direct object, indirect object, the relation between class and functions
1. Introduction
F蔡琴经典歌曲orm word to text, words, word groups and phras, and claus can not occur at random, they have to follow certain rules of ordering. Syntax is the study of the rules governing the ways different constituents are combined to form ntences in a language, or the study of the interrelationships between elements in ntence structures. It included syntactic relation
s, grammatical construction and its constituents, syntactic function and so on. I want to introduce syntactic function.
2. Syntactic Function
The syntactic function shows the relationship between a linguistic form and other parts of the linguistic pattern in which it is ud. Names of functions are expresd in term of subjects, objects, predicator and others. I will explain them one by one.

First, the definition of subject, in some languages, it refers to one of the nouns in the nominative ca. We can find the typical example in Latin, such as pater and filius. 法国艺术学院In our text book, there are two examples. (a) Pater filium amat. In English, it means the father loves the son. We can know that the subject is the father. (b) Paterm filius amat. It refers to the son loves the father. It is no doubt that the subject is the son.
Of cour, I reached some information. And I found there was another definition. In Englis
h, the subject of a ntence is often said to be the doer of the action, while the object is the person or thing acted upon by the doer. Let’s e the example. The first ntence, Mary slapped John. According to the definition, Mary is the subject, becau she is the doer of the action.
2.2 Predicate
Predicate refers to a major constituent of ntence structure in a binary analysis in which all obligatory constituents other than the subject were considered together. It usually express actions, process, and states that relate to the subject.
Predicate has four functions. It specifies time reference other than reference to the time of the speech event, such as past ten, prent ten or future ten. It specifies various additional aspects and phras like eming, trying, hoping and so on. T女孩子图片hen it also specifies the voice: active or passive. As last, it specifies the progress, just like action, event, mental process, behavior, relation or existence. For instance, Peter broke the glass. The predicate is what says something about the subject. The subject is Peter, s
o the rest of this ntence is the object “broke the glass”. Broke shows the past ten.
2.3 Object
There is no exact definition of object. Traditionally, subject can be defined as the doer of an action, object may refer to the “receiver” or “goal” of an action. I’d like to give an example. Mother bought a doll. 朝阳群众We can e the object is a doll.no是什么气体 Another example is that mother gave my sister a doll. So the object is my sister a doll. And it further classified into direct object and indirect object. There is one example. Mother gave a doll to my sister. There are two objects, a doll and my sister. A doll is the indirect object. And my sister is the direct object. We usually put the indirect object in front of the direct object. Sometimes, the object can become the subject in a passive transformation. The origin ntence is John broke the glass. The object is the glass. If we change this ntence into passive. The glass was broke by John. We can notice that the object is the glass.
2.4 The Relation between Class and Functions.
Class and functions each other, but not in any one-to-one relation. In other words, one class has many functions. I am willing to give some examples. The boys are playing football. The boys and football are all nouns. But they have different functions. In this ntence, 朱元璋陵墓the boys is the subject, while the football is the object. He came here last month. The object is last month. In this ntence it is an adverbial. The Summer Palace. Summer is a noun. And in this phras, it is also a modifier.
At the same time, a function can be fulfilled by veral class. For, instance, the subject of a ntence can be realized by a noun, pronoun, numeral, infinitive and so on. There are some examples. The dogs are barking. The dogs is the subject. Also it is noun. We will stay here. We is both the subject and pronoun.
