GRAMMAR AND
COMPOSITION
DARRYL D. BARRIENTOS
INSTRUCTOR
What is grammar?
"Grammar," which comes from
Latin, means the scientific study of
the form and arrangement of
words, phrases, and sentences.
Every language has a grammar
(even if that language is not
written); every language has its
own patterns.
WHAT IS LANGUAGE?
 According to Merriam-Webster
Dictionary, language is the words,
their pronunciation, and the
methods of combining them used
and understood by a community.

 Language, a system of
conventional spoken, manual
(signed), or written symbols by
means of which human beings, as
members of a social group and
participants in its culture, express
themselves.
WHY DO WE USE LANGUAGE?
Language allows us to share our ideas,
thoughts, and feelings with others. It
has the power to build societies, but
also tear them down.

Through language, we are able to


communicate.
DO ANIMALS ALSO USE LANGUAGE?
Language is a vital part of human
connection. Although all species have
their ways of communicating,
humans are the only ones that have
mastered cognitive language
communication.

Language is what makes us human. It


is how people communicate.
DO YOU THINK GOOD GRAMMAR COULD BE A
MEASUREMENT OF INTELLIGENCE?
VERBAL-LINGUISTICS INTELLIGENCE

One’s proficiency in English is,


technically, a measure of an
intelligence. Verbal linguistics
intelligence is measured through
different verbal fluency tests or, simply
put, one’s language proficiency or one’s
ability to learn a new language.
WHAT ARE THE EIGHT PARTS OF SPEECH?
PARTS OF SPEECH
NOUN ADJECTIVE

PRONOUN PREPOSITION

VERB CONJUNCTION

ADVERB INTERJECTION
WHAT IS GRAMMATICAL ANALYSIS?
Just as biologists can label parts
of plants and can sort animals into
groups, grammarians can label
parts of speech and can sort
sentences into patterns.
Grammatical analysis or
grammatical parse is the process
of correlating the line sequence of
lexemes (words) of the language
with its formal grammar.
In order to understand
grammatical analysis, the student
must learn a certain amount of
terminology. Confusion arises
when these terms are not
accurately understood. There are
three basic things going on during
English grammar analysis: level,
label, and function.

“Your grammar is a
reflection of your image.
Good or bad, you have made
an impression. And like all
impressions, you are in
total control.”
