Journal Article (English for Business)

Scientific Paper and Journal

The basic structure of scientific paper and journal is summarized by the acronym IMRAD:

Introduction : What question was asked
Method : How was is studied
Result : What was found.
And
Discussion : What do the findings mean?

Identifying introduction:
The introduction consists of brief and clear statement on question that the writer tried to answer in the study through systematic review on all the work that has gone before and a demonstration that the work is needed. This is the heart of the paper or journal in which the writer states the whole idea on why the research is done (background) and how the work would add importantly to what has gone before.
Commonly introduction consists of (two) paragraphs and not longer than 1 page which include:
-main reasons for doing the research, explained in logical sequence, relevant with selected literature.
-Summary of the research plan, research design, research hypothesis, objectives, and the expected outcomes.

Identifying Research Method
The research method section describes, sometimes defends the experimental design, and provides sufficient details. In this section, statement on details of any new method used, precision of the measurement undertaken, and sensible use of statistical analysis can be found. Here, the writer includes:
- brief description on how the study was designed
- recruitment description (criteria of inclusion)
- ethical features
- accurate details of materials
- statement on how the data was analysed
- precision of the measurement undertaken
- give an estimation of the power of the study
- exact test used for statistical analysis

Identifying Result of the Study
The result section is the core of the paper and journal which has two key features:
- there should be an overall description of the major findings of the study; and
- the data should be presented clearly and concisely
Also, all result of the research will be presented here in representative data. Somehow, the writer might provide statistical analysis of the results in tables, figures, and graphs.

Identifying Discussion and Conclusion
In discussion section, information below can be found:
- summary of the major findings
- discussions of possible problems with the method used
- discussion on theoretical implications of the work
- relationship between the facts observed during investigation
- the significance of the results
- comparison of the result with the previous work
- discussion of the clinical and scientific (if any) implications of the findings
- suggestion for further work
- succinct conclusion

Conclusion is the collection and summary of the most important result and writer’s implication. In this section, reader can also find brief review of status of the problem.

Syntax II Worksheet 5

Worksheet 5

 

NAME ______________________________  NIM: ______________________

 

Verb types and verb forms

1. Indicate each ungrammatical sentence below by placing a ‘star’ or asterisk to the left of the sentence. The first one is done as an example.

 

(a)        *Sam is build a castle in his back yard. A

(b)        Do the boys knowing her?

(c)        My brother worked in Paris.

(d)        His sister has worked in Paris too.

(e)        That boy were throwing stones.

(f)         Has John being fighting again?

(g)        Goes his son to school every day?

(h)        He does not goes to school every day.

(g)        That girl will have interviewed been for that job.

 

2. In explaining why the sentences you have marked are ungrammatical, concentrate on the use of the verb forms in these sentences.

 

(i) Underline each verb that is ungrammatically used, either because A. its form is ungrammatical, or B. its position in the sentence is ungrammatical.

 

(ii) Indicate why the verb you have underlined is ungrammatical by putting A or B, or both A & B at the end of each sentence you have judged ungrammatical.

 

(iii) For all the cases you have indicated as A (its form is ungrammatical),

Explain why the underlined verb is in the wrong form. (What knowledge of English grammar does the speaker seem to be lacking?)

Give the correct form as part of your answer. [See the example answer below.]

 

In (a) build is the plain untensed form. The verb immediately following the is form of the progressive be auxiliary should be in the gerund participle form building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv) For all the cases you have indicated as B (its position in the sentence is ungrammatical).

Explain why it is in the wrong position and indicate which position it should be in, and why.

Question1: Complements and adjuncts
1. In the sentences below, identify each of the underlined phrases as a complement or an adjunct by marking them C or A. Also give the class or type of each phrase in parentheses. The first example is done for you.

(a) Max destroyed the letter   on Tuesday   in his office
                                       C (NP)           A (PP)                 A (PP)

(b) Liz seemed the best candidate  after the meeting.

(c) The vase was quite probably  an antique.

(d) Very carefully the boss opened the letter.

(e) Liz performed yesterday  in Sydney.

(f) The Prime Minister announced the general outline of his economic strategy

yesterday   in the House of Representatives

(g) Sue remained very quiet   after the quarrel

2. One argument for analysing a particular phrase as a complement rather than as an adjunct has to do with grammatical optionality. Explain how this argument applies to (a) and (b) above:

3. How do we know that the general outline of his economic strategy in (f) is a single phrase? (Hint: Use tests such as substitution and clefting.)

Question 2: Complements in the VP
In Lecture 3b we distinguished five types of dependent complement phrases that can be found in a VP. In the following sentences, for each of the underlined phrases indicate what sort of complement phrase it is: DO, IO, PCS, PCO, PPC, and in parentheses indicate what type of phrase it is. Review your lecture notes to check the properties of the various phrases and the general scheme of what possible combinations of complements a verb can have.

(a) He shouted me           a beer
                           IO(NP)     DO (NP)

To give you an example of how to do this problem, consider sentence (a). It contains two NPs in a row, and they’re both complements. So from the possible sentences in the lecture notes, this could be V DO PCO or else V IO DO. If it was V DO PCO: (a) a beer would have to be interpreted as an attribute of me and not as a separate entity from the entity referred to by me, (b) the two phrases would agree in number, but you can say ‘He shouted us a beer’; (c) the second phrase could be replaced by an AdjP, but you can’t say ‘*He shouted me happy’. So the structure can’t be V DO PCO. It must be V IO DO. In the following, you only have to indicate what function each phrase performs in the following, not write an explanation of why.

(b) He took the beer   to his mate

(c) He bought Jo  a bar of chocolate

(d) Quite suddenly, he went completely berserk

(e) Can you find me   a spanner?

(f) She’s driving me   to Brisbane tomorrow

(g) He brought her    a bunch of flowers

(h) He brought her   to her senses

(i) He remained the boss for many years

(j) He disliked the boss for many years

1. Functions of phrasal constituents: Heads and Dependents

 

Look at the bracketed phrase (e.g. [poor people]) in (a) to (e). In each, underline the word which is the ‘head’. In the space provided, write (a) the word class of the underlined head (b) the phrase class The first one is done for you.

 

(a) [Poor people] is the real problem. ….        noun      ..NP 

(b) You  will [study this subject immediately]   …………..

(c) He was singing [quite beautifull]…        …………..

(d) She was being [rather lazy ]    …         ….

(e) I’ll sit [inside the room ]     …         ….

 

2. Functions in the NP

We have identified four functions in the Noun Phrase. They are, in order:

 

Determiner — Pre-head Modifier — Head — Post-head Dependent

    D                     PreM                       H              PostD

 

NOTE: We’re not distinguishing here between Post-head Modifiers and Post-head Complements.

 

For each of the bracketed NPs in the sentences below:

·        Underline the head of the NP.

·        Draw a vertical line to separate dependents from each other and from the head. (Remember that dependents (except for D) will be phrases, but may be one-word phrases.)

·        Label each function with D (determiner), PreM (pre-head modifier) or PostD (post-head dependent) as shown.

·        Indicate what type of phrase each modifier is.

HINT: Remember that there can be more than one pre-head or post-head modifier. The first example has been done for you.

 

(a)                                  [Poor | sanitation] causes [the | very rapid | spread |of disease]

FUNCTION:                 PreM                                  D     PreMod                    PostD

PHRASE TYPE:            AdjP                                          AdjP                         PP

 

(b)                                 [Some small towns] became [important provincial cities].

FUNCTION:                

PHRASE TYPE:           

 

(c)                                  [The local grazier] was usually [the wealthiest man in the area]

FUNCTION:                

3  Complements in the VP

In the last lecture we distinguished some types of dependent complement phrases that can be found in a VP. In the following sentences, for each of the underlined phrases indicate what sort of complement phrase it is: DO, IO, PCS,  and in parentheses indicate what type of phrase it is. Review your lecture notes to check the properties of the various phrases and the general scheme of what possible combinations of complements a verb can have.

 

(a)        He shouted    me             a beer

                                  IO(NP)       DO (NP)

 

To give you an example of how to do this problem, consider sentence (a).  It contains two NPs in a row, and they’re both complements.  So from the possible sentences in the lecture notes, this could be V DO PCO or else V IO DO.  If it was V DO PCO:  (a) a beer would have to be interpreted as an attribute of me and not as a separate entity from the entity referred to by me, (b) the two phrases would agree in number, but you can say ‘He shouted us a beer’; (c) the second phrase could be replaced by an AdjP, but you can’t say ‘*He shouted me happy’.  So the structure can’t be V DO PCO.  It must be V IO DO.  In the following, you only have to indicate what function each phrase performs in the following, not write an explanation of why.

 

(b)        He bought   Jo        a bar of chocolate

 

 

(c)        Can you find me       a spanner?

 

 

(d)               She looks happy.

 

 

(e)       He brought her     a bunch of flowers

 

 

(i)         He remained the boss     for many years

Worksheet 2 Syntax II

 

Question 1.

At the start of Lecture 3 we saw that a sentence may contain a single clause (so called basic or simple sentence) or it may contain more than one clause (so called complex sentence). Consider the following English sentences and put square brackets around each clause, as shown in a.

 

a.  [Robert told his friend that [Richard has visited Bali for a couple of times]]

b. Janet has often been to Paris in Spring on her own

c. Ants usually live underground but they also move around on the outside

 

Question 2. Subject Definition

Traditional definitions of Subject are: the performer of an action and what the sentence is about. However, those definitions seem inadequate to give explanation about Subject.  Please give 4 examples of sentences which contain subjects that fail to fulfil those two traditional definitions.

 

Question 3

The functional definitions of subject can be tested by the following test:

a. Word order (Preceding the predicate)

b. Agreement ( Subject + Predicate)

c. Pronoun case

d. Auxiliary raising.

 

Please give an example for each test and explain in brief.

 

Question 4

Look at the sentences below and identify if the sentences are correct or incorrect

a. (I told the tall librarian to put that book on the shelf, and) put that book on the shelf

            the tall librarian did ___.                                                            Correct/Incorrect

b. …  the tall librarian did put that book on the shelf.                              Correct/Incorrect

c. … puts them in the bin she.                                                               Correct/Incorrect

d. She does puts all the linguistics books in the bin.                                Correct/Incorrect

Make a correct version of the incorrect ones.
