Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the syntactic structure of Awgni Noun Phrases. The assumption of Labeling Algorithm {XP, H} is holding on, and a descriptive research design was employed to explore the intended objective. Data for this research were enriched by interviewing 12 native speakers of Awgni specializing in the proposed language. Through expert samplings, 20 Noun Phrases were selected and illustrated. Results showed that the Noun Phrases in Awgni could be formed out of the head Nouns all along through other lexical categories reminiscent of the Noun Phrases, Adjective Phrases, Verb Phrases, Determiner Phrases, and Adverb Phrases.  These grammatical items were serving as dependents to the head Nouns. The head Nouns in Awgni are for all time right-headed. These heads are the only obligatory constituents, while the Phrasal categories are optional elements which could be either modifiers or complements to the head Nouns. In this regard, Labeling Algorithm explicitly chooses the contiguous Noun heads that are the label of the complete Syntactic Objects (SOs) anticipated for all Noun Phrase structures.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to portray the Syntactic Object representation of Amharic sentences by function. Qualitative data were gathered from thirteen native speakers of Awgni (six females, seven males). Relevant data were also collected as of secondary sources. All the way through purposive sampling, 25 sentences were selected for descriptive analysis. The method of data analysis used was Labeling Algorithm {XP, YP}. This Algorism is problematic; in order to resolve {XP, YP} difficulty projection, Syntactic Object was modified (by raising XP) so that there was one visible verbal head. Result indicated that each sentence structures share Syntactic Object representations that include Tense Phrases (TPs), Noun Phrases (NPs), Verb Phrases (VPs), Prepositional phrases (PPs), Adverb Phrases (ADVPs), Determiner Phrase (DPs) and Adjectival Phrases (APs). Finally, the study puts forward a further research on how labeling Algorithm {XP, H} and {X, Y} works to describe the label of every Syntactic Object representations found within sentence structures in Amharic.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to agree to a logical inspection of syntactic structures of Awgni Adjective, Adverb and Preposition Phrases. The article attempts descriptive research design. Through purposive sampling, 12 texts were selected. Six informants (tree females and three males) were involved in group discussion to crosscheck these data. The scheme of data analysis employed in this study was x-bar syntax. Results indicated that Awgni Adjective, Adverb and Preposition Phrases were pending in a variety of head, complement, specifier and adjunct utterances. The Selections of complement, adjunct, and specifier in between phrases were to some extent syntactically similar. The study showed that syntactic structures have dominance, and precedence relationships. Finally, the study recommended a further research on some basic properties of Awgni labeling algorisms.
