SYNTACTIC STRUCTURE OF THE SENTENCES IN JAMES ROSS’ THE CARD

Abstract

Determining the sentences' syntactic structure was the research's main goal. One
of the most important things to acquire in order to comprehend English is
grammatical structure. Understanding syntactic structure is crucial because
poorly structured sentences might convey the wrong meaning. Syntactic
structure aids in word recognition, guarantees that sentences flow naturally
together, and determines how words are arranged in lengthy phrases. The forms
and functions of syntactic structure employed in James Ross' The Card are the
two primary subjects of analysis in this study. This particular research is
qualitative in nature. To be more precise, the writer gathered the information
through non-participatory observation. The majority of the findings on the forms
support Seely's (2012) postulated forms of syntactic structure. Subject, verb,
object syntactic structure is the most common type. Then, the functions found
fully validate the syntactic structural functions described by Morley (2000).
Nominal function is the primary function of syntactic structure.
