Tree diagrams are most often drawn above the item
being diagrammed. A tree consists of nodes. A node has a label, for example NP
for noun phrase, VP for verb phrase, and so on. The node at the very top of the
tree, the one from which all the others ultimately derive, is called the root
of the tree. The nodes are connected by lines, known as edges. The terminal
nodes of our diagrams, the ones without any children, are known as the leaves
of the tree. They will contain labels for the word categories of each word.
Every sentence can he analysed at four distinct form levels: the word-level,
the phrase-level, the clause-level and the sentence- level. And this is called
the rank scale.
I have prepared a worksheet which consists of 2
sentences to be analysed using tree diagram and I have exchange my worksheet with
my partner Christine Jane. I have to correct up worksheet that done by my
partner with my own answer scheme. It was quite hard to prepare a worksheet
where I have to make sure that my partner can answer the worksheet that was
prepared by me. Through this activity, I get more confident in learning sentence structure
where I have learned a lot of thing from my partner and the mistakes that I had
done. I think it is very important as a future English teacher to
master the sentence structure in order to produce a good writing in English
language.
