I. Define the kinds of sentences according to the purpose of the utterance.
Presently, looking along the road, she [Kezia] saw two little dots.
Now she could see that they were the Kelveys... "Hello," she said to the passing Kelveys. "You can come and see our doll's house if you want to" ...But at that Lil turned red and shook her head quickly. "Why not?" asked Kezia. Lil gasped, then she said, "Your ma told our ma you wasn't to speak to us."— "Oh, well," said Kezia. She didn't know what to reply. "It doesn't matter... Come on. Nobody's looking. ... Don't you want to?" asked Kezia... Kezia led the way. Like two little stray cats they followed across the courtyard to where the doll's house stood. ... "I'll open it for you," said Kezia kindly. She undid the hook and they looked inside. "There's the drawing-room and the dining-room and that's the—" "Kezia!" Oh, what a start they gave!... It was Aunt Beryl's voice. "Run away, children, run away at once" (Mansfield).
II. Define the communicative sentence type, dwell on the actual division of the following sentences. Define the speech-act features of these sentences.
MODEL: "What have you got?" "His book. "
The first sentence is interrogative and its rheme "what have ... got" is informationally open. As it is a special question, the nucleus of inquiry is marked by the interrogative pronoun which is the rhematic peal. The theme of the sentence is "you". The second sentence is elliptical and rhematic. The rhematic peak of the answer ("His book") is the reverse substitute of the interrogative pronoun. As the two sentences make up a thematic unity, the theme in the answer is zeroed.
1. 'I’d like to know what you think of her. Go and see Dr. Rose first." (Christie)
2. Why not walk down to the village after tea? (Christie)
3.Suppose you fetch your bricks and build a nice house, or an engine (Christie).
4. "I beg you, Mr. Holmes, to do what you can." (Doyle)
5. Can the leopard change his spots?
6. I have never been told to come there to retype the papers.
7. "How long have you lived in Hollowquay?" "Barely a month."
8. "Well, that's all right. No need to give me a whole account of your literary triumphs in early youth." (Christie)
9. Sunday was a holiday for Dad, not for Mum (Leacock).
