The restrictive relative clause is an integral part of the noun phrase and gives essential information for the identification of what its antecedent refers to. 10-28
The relative clause is often defined as a clausal modifier of a preceding noun or noun phrase. 10-28
There are two kinds of relative clauses: restrictive and non-restrictive (also called defining relative clauses and non-defining relative clauses). 10-28
A non-restrictive relative clause provides essential information for the identification of what its antecedent refers to; a restrictive relative clause supplies additional information and places little limitation on the possible reference of its antecedent. 10-28
As a coordinator, but expresses a contrast which could not usually be alternatively expressed by yet, while, whereas, etc. 10-28
The syntatic equality between the coordinated units tends to bring with it the semantic equality. 10-28
A subordinator introduces a subordinate clause which is attached to the main clause (also termed the superordinate clause). 10-28
The difference between coordination and subordination also lies in the amount of importance the speaker wishes to attach to the joined constituents. 10-28
Prepositions are mainly used to relate people or things in place or in time. They may indicate spatial locations or directions or they may indicate temporal positions or durations. 10-28
A preposition is usually meaningless in its own right, but sometimes it is rendered meaningful when attached to a noun, a verb, or an adjective to form a fixed collocation. 10-28
Coordination is typically realized by coordinators which join units at the same level, whereas subordination, realized by subordinators, involving the linking of units at different levels so that they perform a hierarchy. 10-28
A prepositional phrase can perform the following syntactic functions: a postmodifier in the noun phrase, an adverbial and a complement. 10-28
Venus approaches the Earth more closely than all planets do. 10-28
Preposition is a minor word class; its major function is to connect words of nouns, verbs and adjectives to other parts of the sentence. 10-28
Prepositions are still a closed word class because people do not usually invent new prepositions. 10-28

By contrast with the to-infinitive, the bare infinitive is far less common and generally limited to idioms and other established uses. 10-28
The infinitive may occur in two forms: the regular, unmarked to-infinitive and the marked bare infinitive. 10-28
We recognize three types of non-finite verbs: infinitive, -ing participle and -ed participle. 10-28
The non-finite verbs are so called because they are not marked for tense or for subject-verb concord. 10-28
Non-predictive meanings of modal auxiliaries are very heterogeneous in nature; that is, this category covers a variety of meanings, except "prediction". 10-28
The predictive meaning is concerned with the speakerˊs assumption or assessment of probability and, in most cases, indicates the speakerˊs confidence in the truth of his statement. 10-28
In semantics, modal auxiliaries are all the more complicated because nearly all of them are polysemous and, as a consequence, their interpretation is such that we forever feel the need to resort to context for clues. 10-28
Modal auxiliaries are a special group of words that have unique features both in syntax and in semantics. 10-28
The basic structure of the verb phrase is: (PREMODIFICATION) + HEAD WORD where the optional premodifier is normally an auxiliary. 10-28

The definite article the is primarily used for specific reference-- reference to a particular example (or particular examples) of a class. 10-28
Both, each and either all bear the meaning of "two" or "one and the other"and, therefore, they can be used interchangeably in appropriate contexts. 10-28
We identify two articals in the English language: the definite artical the and the indefinite artical a(n). 10-28
Determiners may co-occur in the premodification of a noun phrase; that is, two or more determiners may modify one and the same head word. 10-28
Unit nouns, also refered to as "partitives", are a very special class of words that are used to specify the quantities of the modified noun. 10-28
Determiners refer to words which are used in the premodification of a noun phrase and which typically precede any adjectives that premodify the head word. 10-28
Nouns that can take plural are called countable nouns and those that cannot take plural are called mass nouns. 10-28
a proper noun normally begins with a capital letter (Mark, Nike, Aisa), has no plural form and cannot occur after an artical. 10-28
The overall structure of a typical noun phrase may be represented by the following formula, in which brackets enclose elements that may, but need not, be present: (PREMODIFICATION+) HEAD WORD (+POSTMODIFICATION). 10-28
The noun phrase can be classified partly by its external function and partly by its internal structure.In function, it can play such grammatical roles as subject, object, complement and modifier. 10-28
