Activity Share thoughts and pass– an – Answer 

Directions:

1. Each group is given an envelope with a question pasted in front of it. The group will brainstorm on the possible answers and write them on a meta card.

2. At a signal, the group will pass the envelope to another team. 3. The receiving team will write some more answers on another meta card and put it inside the envelope, which at a signal will again be passed to another group. 4. When the group gets back the original envelope, the group reads and summarizes all the answers. 5. After 10 minutes, a representative from each group will present the summary to the whole class.

History of Structural Grammar and some people contributed to it

a. Sir William Jones 

In the 1780’s, Sir William Jones contributed invaluable linguistic information.



He had come across the work of an ancient Indian scholar, Panini, who had written an extremely detailed grammar of Sankrit during the fifth century B.C.

a. Sir William Jones Panini had analyzed and classified words and word parts into roots, prefixes and suffixes.  Jones examined Panini’s classifications – the particularly the roots – he draw a number of conclusion. The conclusions are:  Jones had convinced that the enormous number of similarities between the roots of Sanskrit and those of Greek and Latin provided strong evidence that all three of these language were in some way related. 

a. Sir William Jones 

Jones hypothesized that a great many other European and Asian languages probably had histories which could be traced back to the same original parent language.



Jones speculated that whatever that original source language might have been, it had been spoken so far back in history that it no longer existed.

b. Franz Bopp



In 1816, Franz Bopp is often called founder of historical and comparative linguistics, published Uber Das Conjugationssystem, in which he did two things. 

First, he supported the result of his own comparative studies of verb inflections in Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Persian, and several of the European Teutonic (Germanic) languages.

 Second,

he contended that his own results, furnished convincing support for the theory that not only had all these languages developed simultaneously.

History of Structural Grammar and some people contributed to it c. Charles Darwin  In 1859, Darwin published his book The Descent of Man. In these volumes, Darwin argued that humans had evolved, very gradually and over an enormous period of historical time, from more primitive ancestors.  In between the late 1810’s and the early 1870’s, great numbers of archeologists, anthropologists, paleontologists and philologists spent time in the field unearthing vast bodies of evidence which ultimately convinced most language scholars that many of the previously incomprehensible mysteries of language could be reasonably accounted for. 

History of Structural Grammar and some people contributed to it c. Charles Darwin 

Among the conclusions:

1. Enough evidence had been accumulated to convincingly the theory of related languages, or language “families”, English, most of the European language, and a number of Asiatic language were all now thought to have developed from a single parent language which linguistics called IndoEuropean. 2. The development of the existing “sister” languages had taken place independently but simultaneously.

History of Structural Grammar and some people contributed to it c. Charles Darwin  Among the conclusions: 3. This development had, furthermore, taken place over a very long period of time. 4. The original Indo-European language had finished long ago. 5. All existing vernacular languages where still changing and developing. 6. Language change is a continuous, open-ended process that never stops so long as a language continuous to be viable spoken tongue.

Structural Grammar 

A grammar intended to explain the working of language in terms of the functions of its components and their relationships to each other without reference to meaning (educationengliand.org.uk).



It includes semantics (construction of meaning) while analyzing individual phonological units of sounds (phonemes), the construction of words (morphemes and inflections), and syntax (function and relationship between sentence parts).

Organizer grammar.

in

any appropriate Graphic the history of structural

 “If

words are not things, or maps are not the actual territory, then, obviously, the only possible link between the objective world and the linguistic world is found in structure and structure alone.”
