Document Summary
Pronouns are words that refer to aforementioned nouns and replace them. Transitive verb are action verbs that have a direct object receiving the action (ex hit, eat, bite, kick, grab etc) Intransitive verbs do not have an object (ex laugh, sing, cry, sit etc) Syntax wants to know distribution (where each kind of word goes in a sentence) Syntactic category may be determined by context in some cases (ex chair versus to chair) Open class means it"s creative and new words happen all the time (lexical categories- noun, verb, adjective, adverb) Close class are used more frequently and and not creative (functional categories- prepositions, auxiliaries, determiners, affixes, case markers) Tend to be lost more in aphasia. Subject role is in the nominative case, object role is in the accusative case and possession is in genitive case. Prescriptive rules are social rules and not based in grammar theory.
