CHAPTER II TYPES OF MEANING: GRAMMATICAL AND LEXICAL
2.1Grammatical Meaning and Structure
"Randomly grouped words have little meaning on their own unless they occur randomly. For example, each of the following words has a lexical ma at the word level as shown in the dictionary have no, but they do not make grammatical sense as a group:
a. [ungrammatical]
It lights up purple before jumping down the hill.
But when these words are given a separate order, grammatical meaning is created because of their connection.
a. [with grammatical meaning]
Purple lights bounced from above in front of him. (Bernard O'Dwyer, Modern English Structures: Form, Function and Position. Broadview Press, 2006)
Number and Tense
"Different forms of the same lexeme usually, but not necessarily, differ in meaning: they have the same lexical meaning (or meaning), but differ in grammatical meaning, that is, the singular form (singular form of a noun). a particular subclass) and the second is a plural form (a noun of a particular subclass); and the difference between the singular and plural forms, or for another example - the difference between the past, present and future forms of verbs, is semantically relevant: it affects the meaning of the sentence. "nosi... the meaning of the constituent words (that is, lexemes) is partially determined by the grammatical meaning".
Word Class and Grammatical Meaning
"Notice... how a phrase can change meaning. Consider the following:
He brushed his muddy shoes with a brush. [verb]
He brushed his muddy shoes. [name]
The transition from a construction with a verb to one with a noun involves more than changing the word order in these sentences. There is also a change of meaning. The verb emphasizes the activity and indicates that the shoes will be cleaned, but the noun indicates that the activity was much shorter, more face-to-face, and performed with little interest, so the shoes were not properly cleaned. "Now compare the following:
Next summer I will go to Spain for vacation. [adverb]
Next summer is going to be amazing. [name]
According to traditional grammar, next summer is an adverb in the first sentence and a noun in the second. Again, a change in grammatical category results in a change in meaning.
An adverbial phrase is an adverb, a component attached to the rest of the sentence, providing a temporal context for the entire sentence. On the other hand, using a phrase as a noun in subject position makes it less conditional and less abstract; It is now a topic of discourse and a more clearly bounded time period.”
