Grammar?

Grammar “includes syntax, morphology and semantics and wasoriginally associated with logic andrhetoric.”

The Grammar Papers, QCA, 1998

What do this mean to me??

Page 5: Grammar and creativity

Powerpoint TemplatesPage 5

Grammar?

Morphology (word level)Analysis of stem/root words, prefixes/suffixes, number, gender, person, “word families”…

Syntax (sentence level)Study of sentence structures(clauses, subjects, verbs, objects…)

Semantics (text level)Study of meaning: literal (denotation) and implied(connotation)

Logic &Rhetoric form/content distinction to highlight

the interdependence of language & meaning (grammar as a way to make language more effective)

Ana Tijoux: Las horas• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnRywV8Hh-U

Hace horas que te espero y hace horas no te veo hace horas que te quiero pero hace horas que te pierdo hace horas que te espero y hace horas no te veo hace horas que te quiero pero hace horas que te pierdo Hace horas que te pierdo en esta esquina sólo me acompaña esta tímida neblina el sabor de tus besos impregnados al vapor de este solitario invierno quizás me olvidaste o quizás la verdad tú solo me borraste este amor es un chiste triste triste como se siente cuando todo lo perdiste la miel la piel y el riel cual es el sentido cuando la vida luego es tan cruel dame más tiempo frecuento un momento juro que mi sombra será tan discreta como tu silencio pero nunca me respondes …

Playfulness with language

Premier jour Jacques Prévert, Parole

Des draps blancs dans une armoireDes draps rouges dans un litUn enfant dans sa mereSa mère dans les douleursLe père dans le couloirLe couloir dans la maisonLa maison dans la villeLa ville dans la nuitLa mort dans un criEt l’enfant dans la vie.

Fais des phrases completes? Ecris une histoire?

Playfulness with language

Le message Jacques Prévert, Parole

La porte que quelqu’un a ouverteLa porte que quelqu’un a referméeLa chaise où quelqu’un s’est assisLe chat que quelqu’un a caresséLe fruit que quelqu’un a morduLa lettre que quelqu’un a lueLa chaise que quelqu’un a renverséeLa porte que quelqu’un a ouverteLa route où quelqu’un court encoreLe bois que quelqu’un traverseLa rivière où quelqu’un se jetteL’hôpital où quelqu’un est mort.

Farbengedicht (Colour poem) – Jodie Baker

Blau ist für Frieden – die Menschheit an seinem BestenGelb ist für Glück – für gutes oder für schlechtesBraun ist für Traurigkeit – die Risse von vielenRot ist für Zorn – Hass und Wut!Schwarz ist für Furcht – Panik ohne EndeWeiß ist für Reinheit – Freundlichkeit und Zartheit,Rosa ist für Ausdauer – immer versuchen!Violett ist für Zeit – der Anfang und das EndeUnd grün ist für Leben – alle diese Farben wie eine.

This poem was written by pupils in year 8 last year when they had only been learning German for 4 weeks. After learning the colours they wrote colour poems for homework. (making full sentences and asking basic questions)Liz Black, University of York.

KenningsA kenning is a form of metaphor, originally used in Anglo-Saxon and Norse poetry.

In a kenning, an object is described in a two-word phrase, such as 'whale-road' for 'sea'.

Some kennings can be more obscure than others, and are close to being a riddle.

Wrecking Ball"

We clawed, we chained our hearts in vainWe jumped never asking why

We kissed, I fell under your spell.A love no one could deny

Don't you ever say I just walked awayI will always want you

I can't live a lie, running for my lifeI will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ballI never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your wallsAll you ever did was wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck meI put you high up in the sky

And now, you're not coming downIt slowly turned, you let me burn

And now, we're ashes on the groundDon't you ever say I just walked away

I will always want youI can't live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

En vano hoy mi corazón saltó, Pero sin preguntar, hoy te besé Un hechizo fue Amor, no lo puedo negar No me digas que sólo me alejéYo siempre te amaré Ya no mentiré, por ti escaparé Yo siempre te amaré Es como una Demolición Golpea fuerte el corazón cada muro en mi derribas hoy lo único que hiciste tu, fue destruir sólo, fue destruir Te puse en lo alto de Cielo Y ahora no bajarás Esto cambio el fuego Me quemó Cenizas quedarán No me digas que sólo me alejé Yo siempre te amaré Ya no mentiré, por ti escaparé Yo siempre te amaré
