DISCUSSION

A. Definition of Phrase

Phrase is a group of related words that does not include a subject and predicate
and can not stand alone to be clause. If the words in the phrase we are
separated, then it has a different meaning when the words are put together.

B. Kind of phrase
There are five generally accepted classifications for phrases. These
classifications are generally based on the headword or construction of the
phrase. The headword can usually stand alone as a one-word phrase. It is the
only part that cannot be omitted from the phrase.

1. Noun phrase
Noun Phrase is a phrase between Noun, Pronoun or Number
(functions as head) and one or more modifiers.

Type of Noun Phrase


a. Basic Noun Phrase
There are several components that form the Basic Noun phrase,
including the following:
1) Determiner namely:
 Pre (multiplier, fraction, distributive, intensifier, exclamative),
 central (article, possessive, demonstrative)
 Post-determiner (number, quantifier).

2) Head namely:
 Noun or numeric / number.
Examples of Basic Noun Phrases are as follows:
 My bag (my = possessive, bag = head)
 the next page (the = article, next = number, page = head)

b. Complex Noun Phrase


A noun phrase contains noun modifiers. If these modifiers are
placed before their nouns, these are called pre-modifiers. Whereas if
they are placed after the noun they are called post-modifiers. Included
in the Noun Modifier are as follows:
1) Determiner:
 Articles (the, a),
 Demonstrative (this, that)
 Numeral (two, five, etc.)
 Possessive (my, their, etc.)
 Quantifier (some, many, etc.).
In English, the Determiner is usually placed before noun.

2) Adjective (the delicious food)


Complement in the form of prepositional phrases (such as:
the student of physics), or a That-clause (the idea that the world is
a small village

Functions of a noun phrase


1) A noun phrase as subject
2) A noun phrase as a direct object
3) A noun phrase as object of a preposition
4) A noun phrase as an indirect object

Pattern of Noun Phrase Formation


1. One-noun NPs
 John, students
2. Determinative + N
 that book, Alison’s divorce
3. Determinative + modifier + N
 the unpleasant boy
4. Determinative + N + modifier
 the dog on the sofa.

Examples of Noun Phrases (Example Noun Phrase Sentences)

1. Phrase as Subject:
 That sophisticated womanis beautiful
 The yellow houseis for sale.
 The glistening snowcovered the field.
2. Noun Phrase as Direct object
 I want a skate board.

 I like the book that you bought.
3. Noun Phrase as Object of Preposition
 Jeff is rode on a skate board.
 Karen lives in the yellow house.
4. Noun Phrase as Indirect Object
 Lisa gave the little boy a candy.

2. Verb Phrase
A verb phrase according to MacFadyen (2011) of which head contains a
verb, its direct and/or indirect objects, and any adverb, adverb phrases, or
adverb clauses which happen to modify it. The predicate of a clause or

Function of verb phrase:

1. Verbs Phrases as Predicates


Verb phrases act as a predicate in a clause. According to
grammatical rules, a clause consists of subject and predicate.

 My puppy drinks
 I am studying
 The vase was brokenby the cat.
 We have eaten all the pie.
 The students will finishtheir homework.
 She will have earned her degree in May.
 Those children have been being

2. Verb Phrases as Noun Phrase Modifiers


The function of the next verb phrase is as a Noun Phrase Modifier
or phrases composed of words and phrases that act as nouns or explain
noun phrases.

 The woman reading the bookjust yelled at me.


 My dog is the puppy chewing on the rawhide.
 I saw the man sleepingon the bus.
 Do you have a book to readin the car?
 The food to eat is on the table.

composition of phrases and clauses that become complementary
(complementary) in an adjective phrase.

 You should be excited to study grammar.


 You should be happy to meet him
 My children are sad to see their grandparents leave.
 Your professor is curious to know why you dropped her class.
 The students are eager to learn about current events.

4. Verb Phrases as Verb Phrase Complements


Verb phrase is as Verb Phrase Complements. Verb phrase
complement is a phrase that completes a verb phrase.

1. She intends to attend the ceremony. (infinitive)


2. I love to drink white coffe
3. I always help my mother cook the dinner
4. My neighbors happen to own a hot air balloon.
5. Grandpa can come start the fire for the barbecue. (base form)
6. He helps manages the student workers.

3. Adjective phrase
a. Definition
According to Nordquist (2004) stated that adjective phrase is a
word group with an adjective as its head (core). Therefore, the
adjective phrase aims to explain the adjective in more detail. The main
function of the objective phrase is to explain the noun and adjective
phrase can appear at the start,end, or in the middle of the phrase.
For example:
1) She is Very beautiful girl
2) Look! That is Quite expensive book
3) I think that is Quite easy way
4) Wirda says that is Pretty funny news
5) Why you always late come home

b. Kind of adjective phrase


1. Attributive position
Attributive position is an adjective phrase whose stand/use
before noun that we want to describe or stand in front of noun.

 She is really pretty student


 We need a very smart phone
 I need an extremely spicy food, today
 I know that, he is terribly a wise person
 Vikus is an extremely beautiful girl
 We never cycle in heavy rain

In the example sentence above, really pretty and very smart is the
adjective phrase that explains the noun in front of it, namely student
and phone.
2. Predicative position

Predicative position is the adjective phrase that is located after the


linking verb, but does not explain the noun in front of it, because there is
no noun in front of the adjective phrase.

 Your bag is very expensive


 Your brother is really handsome
 Mia so afraid
 Rian is quite fat
 The weather in the country is very hot

Very expensive and really handsome is the adjective phrase that lies after
be. The adjective phrase function in the sentence above is as a complement to the
verb.

4. Adverbial Phrase

Adverbial phrase is a group of words (phrases) that modifies a verb, an


adjective or a complete sentence. Adverbial phrase is a phrase that tell us
something more about the action word in a sentence or describes the verb in a
sentence. . Adverbial give us more information about the sentence by answering
questions like Where, when, how, why, how long,

Types of adverbial phrase:

1. Degree adverbial phrases


A degree adverbial is used to modify an adverb in an adverbial phrase.
For example:
1) the degree adverbial very modifies the adverb quickly;

2) the degree adverbial extremely modifies the adverb hard;


3) the degree adverbial really modifies the adverb well; and
4) the degree adverbial so modifies the adverb soon
The example are:
 They repaired my car very quickly
 He worked extremely hard in this game
 She did really well in her race

2. Modifier adverbial phrases


Modifier adverbial phrases combine with a sentence, and the removal of
the adverbial phrase yields a well-formed sentence.
For example:
 I’ll go to bed in an hour
 We arrive three hours late

3. Complement adverbial phrases


Adverbial phrases functioning as complements usually arise when an
adverb licenses a complement as a selectional requirement. Nearly all of these
complements license an adjoining prepositional phrase.
For example:
 Purchase of state vehicles is handled similarly to all state purchases
 Foreign firms in US markets are treated equally with their US
counterparts.

takes place. The commonly used adverbials of manner are: well, loudly,
roughly, easily, fast, wisely, rightfully, ect.

When an adverb phrase gives us information about the manner how
the action happens, it is an adverb phrase of manner. So, in the
sentence an adverb phrase of manner answers the question “how”.

A.Definition of Clause

A clause is a group of related words. It contains a subject and a verb ( Betty,


1993:346).

Clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb it can take the place
of different parts of speech.

Clause is a group of words containing subject and predicate. Subject is about what
or who is being talked about while predicate explains something about subject.

Subject can be in the form of people, animals, object, or abstract concepts, while
predicate is verb or auxiliary verb + verb with/without additional words to
complete the meaning of the sentence.

Subject predicate
She cooks
Sarah is sleeping

Clause may be a sentence that can stand alone as a sentence, namely an


independent clause or like a sentence that can not stand alone called a dependent
clause.

1.Independent Clause

Independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. Types of sentence that consist
of one independent clause are called simple sentences. English clauses can also be
combined with other independent clauses to form compound sentences which the
two clauses are combined with coordinate conjunction(for, and, not, but, or, yet,
so), only semicolons or adverbial conjunction(however, rather, therefore, etc).

Example of independent clause:

Kind of example sentence

Simple sentence

The ceremony started at 7:00 a.m.

( The ceremony stars at seven in the morning).

She prefers mangoes to oranges.


( He prefers mangoes that oranges).

Compound sentence

I like that bag, but I have no money.

( I like the bag, but I don’t have money).

You’ve finished my task; you can go home now.

( You have completed the assignment; you can go home now)

2.Dependent Clause

The dependent clause contains subject and predicate but cannot express a whole
mind because this clause is preceded by a word called a subordinator, which
causes the meaning of the clause to hang. This English clause must be linked or
combined with an independent clause (as main clause) into a type of sentence
called of complex sentence to make it “make sense” or its meaning can be
understood in its entirety. There are three basic types of dependent clause,
namely:

Noun clause

Adjective clause

Adverbial clause

Noun Clause

Definition of Noun

The English word “noun” comes from the latin ‘nomen’ meaning ‘name’. The
function of noun is to name someone or something.

According to Oxford Dictionary ( Pearsall, 1999:945), noun is word used to


identify any of a class of people, places or things, or to name a particular one of
these.

It can be concluded that noun is a word that functions to identify someone or


something.
A noun clause is a dependent clause and cannot stand alone as a sentence ( Betty
Schrampfer Azar, 1993:346). In a noun clause, the full subject and predicate are
retained. The noun clause fills the same positions and serves the same function as
noun. Act as simple nouns and identify persons, places, things, etc. So, it can be
concluded that noun clause is a dependent clause that has function as a subject,
object, or complement.

They are introduce by words such as:

How

If

That

Whether

Which

Who

What

When

Where

Whose

Why

Whom

Whomever

Functions of Noun Clause:

Subject sentence

Subject complement

Direct object

Object complement

Object of the preposition


Adjective phrase complement

Appositive.

Noun Clause as the Subject of a Sentence

The first grammatical function that noun clauses perform is the subject. A subject
is a word,phrase, or clause that performs the action of or acts upon the verb.

Example:

Whoever ate my lunch is in big trouble.

How you will finish all your homework on time is beyond me.

For you to not graduate from college now is such as shame.

Noun Clause as Subject Complement

A subject complement is a word, phrase, or clause that follows a copular, or


linking, verb anddescribe the subject of the clause. The terms predicate
nominative and predicate noun are also used for noun clauses that function as
subject complements.

Example:

The truth was that the moving company lost all your furniture.

My question is whether you will sue the company for losses.

Noun Clause as Direct Object

A direct object is a word, phrase, or clause that follows a transitive verb and
answers thequestion “who?” or “what?” receives the action of the verb.

Example:

The counselor has been wondering if she chose the right career.
Do you know when the train should arrive?

I would hate for you to get hurt.

Noun Clause as Object Complement

Object complements are defined as words, phrases, and clauses that directly
follow and modifythe direct object.

Example:

Her grandfather considers his biggest mistake that he did not finish collage.

The committee has announced the winner whoever wrote the essay on noun
clauses.

Noun Clause as Prepositional Complement

The sixth grammatical function that noun clauses perform is the prepositional
complement. A prepositional complement is a word, phrase or clause that directly
follows a preposition and completes the meaning of the preposition phrase.

Example:

Some people believe in whatever organized religion tells them.

We have been waiting for whoever will pick us up from the party.

Noun Clause as Adjective Phrase Complement

An adjective phrase complement is a phrase or clause that completes the meaning


of an adjectivephrase.

Example:

I am pleased that you are studying noun clauses.


The toddler was surprised that throwing a tantrum did not get him his way.

Noun Clause as Appositive

An appositive is a word, phrase, or clause that modifies or explains another noun


phrase.

Example:

That man, whoever is he, tried to steal some library books.

The problem, that the storm knocked out power, is affecting the entire town.

Adjective Clause

Adjective clause or adjective clause which is often referred to as relative clause is


a type ofclause or clause which is always used to replace adjectives or adjectives
and always explain the state of a noun or pronoun. The adjective clause also
functions as an explanatory, identifying or giving additional information about an
object (noun). This function is usually referred to as a modifier. Adjective clause
can be classified into 2 types, including:

Relative pronoun

Relative pronoun, also known as conjunctive pronoun, is a type of adjective


clause or adjective clause used by using conjunctions or relative pronouns used as
conjunctions. Relative pronoun or what is known as a conjunctive pronoun can be
use to:

Subject of sentence

Used for subjects in a sentence. Note the example sentence below:

The student is called angel.

She gave me a book.


Become a relative pronoun

The student who gave me a book is called angel.

Object of verb

Which is used to accompany the object of the verb. Consider the example
sentence below:

You like the story

She wrote it

Become a relative pronoun

You like the story which (that) she wrote

Object of preposition

Used to accompany objects from preposition. Consider the example sentence


below:

He is a lawyer

I told you about him

Become a relative pronoun

He is a lawyer who I told you

Possessive adjective

Which is used to express their own adjectives. Consider the example sentence
below:

I reach the woman

Her composition is good

Become a relative pronoun

I reach the women whose composition is good.


Relative adverb

Relative adverb or what is known as conjunction is one type of adjective clause or


adjective clause used by using relative adverb conjunction used in compound
sentence.

Relative adverb, or what are known as conjunction, can use WH questions, such
as “what”, “why”, “who”, “where”, “when”, “how”. The use of WH question can
be replace or change to relative adverb by replacing it with the word ”that”.

Example:

The reason why I came should be question by you

Become a relative adverb

The reason that I came should be question by you

The small village where they were to leave yesterday

Become a relative adverb

The small village that they were to leave yesterday.

Adverbial Clause

Adverb clause is a dependent clause (clause that can not stand alone) that
identifies how, when, where, why, or in the condition of something that happens
