  • I don’t know about your terminology, so perhaps my analysis won’t be of use to you; but this is how I’d parse your example according to modern grammar..

    Can anyone figure out what would “No matter the season” be? Of…). In terms of sentence elements.

    The role no matter the season(s) plays in this sentence is adjunct to the main clause. What is grammatically loose? Many kinds of expressions can fill it: regardless of the season / whatever the season / whatever season it is / summer or winter / whether it’s summer or winter / throughout the year.

    The internal structure, no matter as a stock phrase with peculiar grammar. Every interrogative clause complements a subject’s body (no matter, where you live / how angry she is / how annoyed you are). The topic usually takes an interrogative clause complement. Where it’s reduced to an NP. That is fairly common; the meaning is no matter the season .

    If no matter is an elliptic clause, a reduction of it is no matter. Probably when it occurs, the elliptical clause has its own function…) (Cerberus says no matter is itself an elliptic clause. If it’s he wrote that it’s a reduction of it, no matter has its own function. I disagree, because if you actually expand it that way, the sentence becomes ungrammatical unless you also change the punctuation or prosody. No matter can be used even without punctuation, in the same situations as if : “I’ll drop by no matter what happens/If nothing happens.” Is

    “Damnewhere else in Britain” a PostM, realised by restrictive relative cl (with zero marker: challenge found…)?

    My last two years of high school is over. All good. Sounds good to me.

    Do climbers sign to ME as IO? Is there a word for that? An IO has to as unannounced noun phrase, and it can’t be moved after its direct object (as could this phrase, if the DO wasn’t so long). Some verbs, like transfer, can take a to PP complement but cannot take an IO.

  • Because Spanish jargon terms often have nothing to do with the meaning of the English words they’re made from. Where is this more the case than in maths?

    I would use whatever term seems better established—regardless of whether it sounds artificial to native English speakers who aren’t mathematicians—so as to give the reader the best possible chance to figure out what I’m talking about.

    I didn’t get your question in reply to the question you post on Quora, but I did answer you by e-mail. -To my ear, there is a verb filter, and a count noun filter. -Grup. The count noun is the number. Each one is different. Is there a non-count noun filtration? How could water filtration be named from coffee grounds? (I know it is possible with a mathematical example).

    Had an excellent idea of how to use filtrate in everyday English, once I started searching for such uses just now. A Google search for filtrated hits mainly dictionary sites. At the moment, the first non-dictionary hit is a link to this question. Can anybody confirm that to my ear was almost hardly a word, and it sounds weird and artificial. I can understand. How is filtered sounding? Is it a common, everyday word, and is correspondingly, gets hundreds of times as many Google hits.

  • Asked on March 3, 2021 in Grammar.

    When I start with the

    verb form, history shocks me.

    There are two parties to a typical shocking event: the shock-er, the one doing the shocking, and the shock-ee, the one being shocked (in this case, me). In grammar, the first is called the agent and the second the patient.

    English language is so confusing that I mean many things. But luckily, we do. When “shock” is used as a verb, the main hint is the word order: John shocked Kaitlin vs. What would have happened if Kaitlin’s wife was murdered like John Singling? The subject of the film is the agent. Direct objects are patients (possible objects) but direct objects are the patients (possible objects) (disregarded persons).

    How do we turn a verb into an adjective? The suffix -ing makes an adjective (called a participle) that describes the agent: shock are shock. Many feel the heat, sometimes more than when things really shock. The suffix -ed makes an adjective (called the past participle) that describes the patient: shock shocked, startled or upset.

    (Many words have irregular past participles which mean “brother” or “broke” and are

    not breaked) If any from the past is to be used as the past., then how do I put it together?
