A mondattani elemzés lehetőségei az általános iskolában

Abstract

This study shows how to use generative grammar for educational purposes. Within the concept of
integrating teacher training as a whole, it focuses on primary-school education. First the linguistic
background is outlined, then the topic is placed in the present Hungarian educational context.
The study emphasizes the competence-developing nature of grammar, and it investigates the
techniques of sentence structure representation. It proposes a sentence representation method
that maps word order, and represents syntactic functions with a tree structure at the same time.
As the antecedents of this method, it introduces the immediate constituent analysis, as well as the
spirit and the analytical techniques of Bánréti Zoltán’s NYKIT-program (Nyelv – Kommunikáció –
Irodalom Tizenéveseknek; Grammar – Communication – Literature for Teenagers). The proposed
method is illustrated by examples. The paper also discusses ways to examine the relationship
between the sound structure and the meaning of the sentence without using a tree structure.
