Onions (1932) 문장 5형식에 대한 이원적 접근 = A Binary Approach on Onions(1932), based on Generative Grammar - Be vs. non-Be Verbs

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Onions’s (1932) structural classification on the English sentence structures has had much influence on the school grammar of the language. The school grammar based on Onions’s (1932) classification, however, has been a significant impediment for the learners of English. This paper summarizes the sentence forms of Onions (1932) and discusses how inefficient it is, and then suggests an alternative developed from Generative Grammar. This paper, more concretely, accepts that sentences(phases in Chomsky (1999); XP in GB) have (some) binary structures, [ß P [α [SUB] [H YP]]]] of Chomsky (1999: 5), that is, a sentence is derived in binary: H(head) + YP(complements) → [H YP]; [H YP] + SUB] → [SUB] [H YP]], which forms a phase called ‘a,’ [α [SUB] [H YP]]]; [a [SUB] [H YP]]] + P → [ß P [α [SUB] [H YP]]]], a phase called ‘ß’; these […] are all phases by Chomsky (1999). According to the assumption, this paper shows that, since the structures are more simple than those of Onions (1932), the binary structure can explain the sentence structures more easily. This paper, in addition, shows that this assumption is much closer to universal grammar(UG).
