Syntax

scenes dramatic, such as: strong verbs, appropriate sentence length/punctuation, similes, and metaphors. Firstly, the powerful verbs Shakespeare uses in the scenes, make the sentences stronger and cause them to flow better; the verses have a poetic syntax to them. Also, because the verbs are strong enough, there are fewer words in the sentence, which make the point of the verse come out a lot clearer, and with more emphasis. There are many examples of this in the Captain’s dialogue, one of them, ‘swarm’

Semester’s Worth of Work and Growth Even the smallest changes to a paper can become a great improvement. From the first papers completed at beginning of this course to the last papers submitted far more recently, my sentence structure, grammar, and syntax visibly improved. During the first few weeks of the course I struggled with the exclusion of verbs and tenses I used far more often than I realized. “Using passive voice to avoid attribution is, therefore, a problem. Fortunately, the solution to avoiding

During our reading of The Language of Film: Signs and Syntax, it is explained to us that the famed image gives us all the answers to the who, what, where, when, why and how.

One of the most influential authors of all time, Edgar Allan Poe, uses dark imagery and complex syntax to make his short stories and poems dark and mysterious. Poe’s dark, tragic backstory contributes to his dark writing style. His father left him when he was young, and his mother died when he was only three. He then went on writing poems, and after he finished his school, he found his fiance cheating on him, so he moved to Boston to get away from everything he knew. He then married his cousin when

Story of an Hour In the short story, Story of an Hour, Kate Chopin uses diction and syntax to create a riveting and complex tone, that engages the readers and leaves them thinking long after the story is over. The story has many layers, and like a Kardashian, may make readers cry. With unexpected twists and turns, the reader must truly put themselves in Mrs. Mallard's position and time period to understand the dramatic irony used.

Syntax is a valuable component contributing to learners´ structural knowledge. The word ‘syntax’ refers to the systems of rules that combine multiple words into meaningful chunks of formulaic sequences, clauses, and sentences (Catts & Kamhi, 1999). With this in mind, acquiring reading comprehension of complex texts is not unlike building a house. Similar to a reader´s dilemma in constructing meaning from a complex text, a builder must have knowledge of building materials (word knowledge), foundations

Dickens uses syntax to make the reader anxious and demonstrate what the revolution was like. This is shown when Dickens describes how the people of the Carmagnole, "...advanced, retreated, struck at one another's hands, clutched at one another's heads, spun around alone, caught one another and spun

reason or logic. Dickinson was an incredibly innovative poet, ahead of her time; although she lived in the 1800s, the way she writes often reminds me of 20th century poet E.E. Cummings. This piece is a perfect example of that. Notice the way she uses syntax, and punctuation; the characteristic hyphens; all of this breathes uncommon ease and freedom of language. I adore the opening stanza of this poem. The speech marks indicate the poet is responding to a question: “Why do I love” You, Sir?” and then
