5. Interrelation of Theoretical Grammar with other
branches of linguistics. Theoretical grammar is obviously related to other branches of linguistics. First of all each of the three constituent parts of language is studied by a particular linguistic discipline. These disciplines, presenting a series of approaches to their particular objects of analysis, give the corresponding ―descriptions‖ of language consisting in ordered expositions of the constituent parts in question. Thus, the phonological description of language is effected by the science of phonology; the lexical description of language is effected by the science of lexicology; the grammatical description of language is effected by the science of gra mmar. Theoretical grammar is also connected with phonology, which can be proved by the fact that a word stress may change a part of speech. E.g.: to import (v) – ímport (n); to expórt (v) – éxport (n), etc. A change of intonation may change the communicative type of a sentence: We surrender (a declarative sentence) – We surrender?! (an interrogative-negative emotional sentence). Grammar is also related to lexicology: it is not indifferent as to the meaning of words: the meaning of a word may change the type of the predicate in a sentence. E.g.: a) He made a good report. b) He made a good reporter. In the first sentence we 19 observe a simple verbal predicate while in the second sentence we see a compound nominal predicate. Interrelation of theoretical grammar to practical one is also undisputable, but their purposes are different: the purpose of practical (or prescriptive) grammar is to prescribe the rules how to correct build sentences, or the Past Indefinite forms, or the plural number forms, etc., while the main purpose of theoretical (scientific, descriptive) grammar is to give a scientific description and analysis of the structure of Modern English and its grammatical categories along with the purpose of giving students a deeper insight into the mechanism, processes and tendencies in the grammatical structure of English.
