Document Summary

Foreign language and culture studies - mcls 30420. The study of grammar rules underlying sentence formation: sentence. An expression of strong emotion or feeling is rendered. The study of how one sentence type is transformed into another based on rules of syntax. The basic structure of l1 language, including syntax, is usually internalized by age five; Syntax rules seem so natural to native speakers that it is often difficult to describe them to non-native speakers. Target language syntax is generally learned as opposed to naturally acquired. A constituent of several words strung together as a syntactic unit. Phrases interact with each other to produce sentences. Being able to break sentences down into phrases is a critical skill in interpreting, translation, and foreign language learning. The same constituents (phrase components) will likely be in place in both languages, yet in often vastly different word order configurations. Phrases are always built around a so-called head.
