THE ORDER OF WORDS AND CONSTRUCTION THE SUBJECT + VERB + ADJECTIVE NAME AND EL SALVADOR IN SPANISH.
By: Diana Rhodes
This article is about the order of words and the construction of object-verb, noun-adjective in El Salvadorian English. It is noteworthy that every language has its own system and therefore also has features that make it different from other languages. This article is a minimal contribution to the characterization of the Salvadoran and English that was valid and could see, we have taken examples of speech in El Salvador.
ABSTRACT
The Following article deals with the order of words and the construction of object-verb, noun-adjective in the Salvadoran English. It is important to mention that every language has its own of object-verb, noun-adjective in the Salvadoran English. It is important to mention that every language has its own system; therefore, it also has characteristics which make it different from other languages. This article is a minimal contribution for the characterization of the Salvadoran English, and for it to be valid and able to prove, examples have been taken from the Salvadoran speech.
INTRODUCCIÓN
For Chomsky (1969) a language is a (finite or infinite) of sentences, each finite in length and constructed from a finite set of elements. All natural languages, as spoken or written, are languages \u200b\u200bas each language has a finite number of phonemes or letters of their alphabet.
Therefore, every language has its own grammar. "A grammar presents the theory of a language, that is, studies the set of rules that are seen in their structure and formation."
Méndez-Pereira (1935: 1)
Now, we wish to study language is English Salvadoran and its distinction from other languages \u200b\u200bshould be made a special study of it and it should be study their structures and the features it has. For this reason, it has taken well to hear the speech in El Salvador, as it provides the certainty and validity of the theories that have about English. Since speech is to be found as the speaker actually uses language.
regard, studies have been conducted Salvadoran speech but folkloric works, which although they overlap in some ways to use real language, we must remember that change continuously. Now if we want to work on speech in works need to be more recent, or, as was used in this article, is that it has obtained information from the real speech, because with this characterization becomes more exactitude.
THE ORDER OF WORDS
Comrie (1989), has called word order, constituent order, which is one of the more typological parameters important to establish the universal language [1] and characterize the relative order in the prayer of subject, verb and object .
The subject is the word (as) that indicates that the verb which it says something about the verb, Seco (1995) says it is a word whose role is to place the item in time , prayer is one that is capable of functioning as the core of the subject and predicate, and as the object, it is defined as a complement or adjunct of the verb, as in it lies the action (the verb).
These elements are essential in the structure of the sentence, as it is their fundamental parts. This parameter of subject, verb and object , can locate any language.
There are six types of constituent order which is logically possible: SOV, SVO, VSO, VOS, OVS, OSV. In the case of El Salvadoran English is SVO order . As shown below
- The bicha was to the store.
S V O
- They were to play ball.
S ; V O
- Tamales were it rich.
S ; V O
4. The match was good goat.
S V O
5. The pooch is good pig.
S V O
In fact, with the above examples it is found that Salvadoran English is SVO order.
But this order can vary the Salvadoran English is not rigid and construction can be reached to invest (the order), as in the following examples:
1. Enough clues is what has my dad.
2. Quite a few things are known by the people.
3. Mangos have been given already by the club.
The above examples are a clear sign that the SVO order is not always maintained, and that the speaker tends at times to distort this order of the parts of speech.
SUBJECT + VERB CONSTRUCTION.
The verb is a category of speech that expresses action, process or state which is the subject in a sentence and the object is the word (s) ; supplementing the meaning and locus of action of the verb. In accordance with previous word order in Salvadoran English is SVO . However, we clarify that this order changes. Let's look at how they behave then the verb and the object by taking one of the examples already seen:
- The pooch is well pig.
↓
Well pig is the dog.
- The match was good goat
↓
Well goat was the game.
Placing these items in the first sentence appears to be stable, however, in the next sentence order has been disturbed, and likewise happens in the second sentence. But this alteration does not change the meaning. is observed as in Salvadoran talks, makes use of any kind and found that the object is not always after the verb.
BUILDING NAME + ADJECTIVE.
The name or noun is the key word on the subject, is that of which we speak in prayer. And The Latin adjective adiectivus which means "what is added" , is par excellence an adjunct of the noun it qualifies by adding a note or quality.
The noun or name can be modified by the adjective.
Examples:
- pulgoso The Pooch Paw cuica
- The hair trap dangerous Street
- hairy spider Pan
- rich fried beans
- tender plums
The adjective can be placed at times before the noun.
Examples:
1. Great cuete
2. Size
cat 3. enough clues
4. Fort paste
5. Middle Name
6. Small table
7. Grand Canyon
8. Rico cake
The adjective means dependent concepts as the noun designating separate concepts. And, if you change the order always will rule. That is, an adjective and order can be switched according to the speaker in use.
CONCLUSION:
The Salvadoran English presents interesting features compared to other languages. Remember that our English and other Latin American countries the language is implemented and that implementation is a series of additional elements that have made our language, a language controversy over the number of similar features of other languages \u200b\u200bas native languages. That is, the Salvadoran English is a mixture of multiple languages.
is why both our English, like other countries have their own money and is homogeneous with respect to other forms but have common elements.
In this study, there appeared English-language differences compared to other languages, this requires an extensive study and well structured. What has emerged are some features that presents the Salvadoran English. And, with respect to the material studied in this article on the order of words, was viewed that it does not follow the established order and although it remains, is not the rigid order follows but can vary depending on the construction that the speaker used. Due to the way that the speaker on communication issues. The important thing is that you lose the meaning between speaker and listener, through their messages to understand one another.
El Salvadoran English, has a primary characteristic is that, although the order of words both alter the subject - verb as well as name - adjective, are making it clear pragmatic significance El Salvador for the speaker the most important is communication. Since the speaker constructs the sentence according to what interests him most at that time.
Emphasizing this, can say that, although the leading order in Salvadoran English is SVO, which is more than everything in writing, and the speaker alters the order, makes it flexible, ie , that spoken language does not follow the logical order but rather the speaker uses it to chance, because it understands that.
