   To show the additional properties of
    language which various disciplines have been
    emphasizing as important when looking at
    language as a tool of communication rather
    than as a self-contained system
   Speech event
     Thetypologies of the factors in speech event by
     Jakobson and Hymes
        Addressers
        Addressee
        Message form
        Channel
        Setting
        Topic
        code
   Language Varieties
     Labov
        Formality of the situation and status of the
         participants.
     Register   Analysis
        Social construct (roles, rights and obligation,
         stereotypes, reference groups, categories and
         attitudes)
   Concerned not only with language itself but also with
    language as an integral part of all social interaction
   The participants in an interaction are constantly
    involved in making sense of what has been said (or
    written) in line with their knowledge, beliefs,
    interest, etc.
   At the level of connected discourse there are no
    precise     and   generally    accepted      rules    for
    interpretation
   There is no fixed structure there waiting to be
    discovered and described by the sociolinguist /
    sociologist

   GRAMMAR
     “Structural”Grammar
     Transformational-Generative Grammar
     Semantic Based Grammar
     Modality
     Textual Function
     Summary of the trends in Grammar
   “Structural” Grammar
     Emphasizing on FORM rather than MEANING
     Grammatical categories should be defined not in
      terms of meaning but in terms of distribution
     Formalization the “surface structure” of a
      sentence by a method of analysis such as IC
      analysis
   Transformational-Generative Grammar
     Generative  is to specify the nature of a speaker’s
      knowledge about his language, but with such
      accuracy and in such detail that someone who does
      not know the language will be able to produce its
      forms simply by following the rules of the grammar
      and without having to refer to any source of
      information outside the grammar.
     Transformational grammar is one which incorporates
      two aspects on syntactic description, a surface
      structure and a more deep structure, together with a
      set of transformational rules relating deep and
      surface structure
   Semantic Based Grammar
     Trying to account for the fact that sentences
      with different surface forms actually have the
      same logical meaning, that is, they contain the
      same proposition.
     One of the function of the language is to refer to
      the activities, event, processes that are going
      on, to be capable of expressing ‘judgments about
      such matters as who did it, who it happened to,
      and what got changed’
   Modality
     Example:
        I shall stop talking now / Shall I stop talking now?
        You may listen to me     / You must listen to me


     Modality leads us to question how sentences are
      used to performed different communicative acts
     Sentences can be used to perform different
      speech or communicative acts
   Textual Function
     The basic unit of language in use is not a word or
      sentence but a ‘text’
     Language is structured in such a way that by the
      use of suitable option a speaker or writer is
      enable to create continuous texts.

     Example
        What did you see yesterday?
        I went to a play
   Summary of the Trends in Grammar
     Thecentral concern of the grammarians is with
     the structure of language and with the way in
     which a formal description of it may be given
   One approach to linguistics description may
    provide important insights into the nature of
    language; but at the same time it may do so
    only by idealizing out certain features
    language which another approach might
    regard as of paramount important
   How to idealize
     Making assumption that the language system is
      well define
     Concentrates on the variability of language`
   Structural/Situational
     Syllabusare clearly derived from the structural
     analyses of the grammarians together with
     received notions about the nature of learning
     from behavioral psychology. With the advent of
     transformational-generative grammarians and
     cognitive psychology, attack on the underlying
     theoretical basis for such syllabuses has been
     overwhelming
   Semantic
    A   syllabus is firmly based on grammatical principles
      and is essentially sentence based, as when the
      categories chosen as a starting point include what we
      have defined previously as speech
     The emphasis in such a notional syllabus is in
      teaching the expression of meaning and bringing
      home to the learner that many language forms can
      be used to express the same idea.
     Ideational or propositional function of language aims
      is to teach the means by which propositions can be
      expressed and also the attitude of the speaker to the
      proposition he makes
   Textual
     Itshould be remembered that cohesion is a part
      of syntax and phonology and not dependent on
      the relation between form and function
   ESP/EST/EAP
     Inpractice, syllabuses for EST, ESP, etc. have
     frequently been emphasizing those aspects of
     language which have tended to be left out of
     elementary structural syllabuses – namely the
     grammar of connected text and the relation
     between form and function
   In the Southeast Asian region syllabuses for
    beginners being basically situationally-based
    structural ones, to be followed by a syllabus
    based on a re-structuring of the grammatical
    categories learned into a notional or speech act
    framework. This in turn might lead away from
    sentence-based material to connected language
    and the teaching of cohesion. The final stage
    would be the additional teaching or rhetorical
    structures or skills in interpreting the meaning
    behind the language forms used in connected
    discourse
   The role of vocabulary in the syllabus in the
    light of the assumptions and findings of
    theoretical and applied linguistics
   A consideration of some knowledge that is
    assumed by lexical competence is offered as
    a frame of reference for the determination
    of objectives for vocabulary teaching and for
    the assessment of teaching techniques
    designed to realize these objectives
   In Two ways
     In considering the role of vocabulary in the syllabus
      we can look to the theoretical language disciplines
      for a more informed understanding questions. The
      information will turn out to be vastly more complex
      than we might intuitively have supposed, yet will be
      tentative and inconclusive because of the changing
      state of knowledge and theory in the disciplines
      concerned.
     In evaluation or interpretation of results obtained.
      When problems or failures arise we may have to
      refer to a model or theory to see if it can offer
      explanation
   The native speaker of a language continues to
    expand his vocabulary in adulthood, there is
    comparatively little development of syntax in
    adult life.
     Insyntax, the period of maximum development
     appears to be form about the age 2 to 12, with only
     minor changers according to social roles and mode of
     discourse taking place in adulthood, in vocabulary,
     there is continued development beyond the
     childhood year, adults constantly adding new words
     to their vocabulary through reading, occupations,
     and others activities.
   Knowing the words means knowing the
    degree of probability encountering that word
    in speech or print. For many words, we also
    “know” the sort of words most likely to be
    found associated with the words.
     Thespeaker of a language recognizes not only
     the general probability of words being associated
     with other words
   Knowing a word implies knowing the
    limitations imposed on the use of the word
    according to variations of function and
    situation.
     Register   restraints :
        Temporal variation
        Geographical variation
        Social variation
        Social role
        Field of discourse
        Mode of discourse
   Knowing a word means knowing the syntactic
    behavior associated with that word.
   Knowing a word entails knowledge of the
    underlying form of a word and the derivation
    that can be made from it.
   Knowing a word entails knowledge of the
    network of associations between that word
    and other words in language.
   Knowing a word means knowing the semantic
    value of a word
   Knowing a word means knowing many of the
    different meanings associated with the word.
   The goal of vocabulary teaching must be
    more than simply covering a certain number
    of words on a word list.
   Teaching techniques can help us realize our
    concepts of what it means to know a word.
   Our understanding of the nature of what we
    are teaching, should be reflected in the way
    we set about teaching it.
   Vocabulary has for some time been one area
    of the syllabus where this link between
    approach, method and technique has been
    neglected.

The final stage would be the additional teaching or rhetorical structures or skills in interpreting the meaning behind the language forms used in connected discourse

  • 21. The role of vocabulary in the syllabus in the light of the assumptions and findings of theoretical and applied linguistics  A consideration of some knowledge that is assumed by lexical competence is offered as a frame of reference for the determination of objectives for vocabulary teaching and for the assessment of teaching techniques designed to realize these objectives
  • 22. In Two ways  In considering the role of vocabulary in the syllabus we can look to the theoretical language disciplines for a more informed understanding questions. The information will turn out to be vastly more complex than we might intuitively have supposed, yet will be tentative and inconclusive because of the changing state of knowledge and theory in the disciplines concerned.  In evaluation or interpretation of results obtained. When problems or failures arise we may have to refer to a model or theory to see if it can offer explanation
  • 23. The native speaker of a language continues to expand his vocabulary in adulthood, there is comparatively little development of syntax in adult life.  Insyntax, the period of maximum development appears to be form about the age 2 to 12, with only minor changers according to social roles and mode of discourse taking place in adulthood, in vocabulary, there is continued development beyond the childhood year, adults constantly adding new words to their vocabulary through reading, occupations, and others activities.
