To determine the variety of syntactic patterns that |
|
potential English teachers would normally use and the |
|
possible differences in their oral and written discourse, |
|
1000-word oral and written language samples were |
|
collected from 21 student teachers. These samples were |
|
divided into T-units and classified according to 23 |
|
sentence patterns based on Paul Robert's kernel rules |
|
with selected transformations. Significant differences in |
|
syntax were identified between the subjects' oral and |
|
written language. For example, the subjects used four |
|
times as many "subject-verb-direct object" sentences in |
|
written than in oral language and they utilized a greater |
|
variety of sentence patterns in oral than in written |
|
language. (Tables show the frequency of individual |
|
sentence patterns used in the samples, significant |
|
differences between oral and written syntax, and the |
|
intercorrelation of 19 variables considered to be |
|
indicators of syntactic maturity.) (JB) |
