A Critical Review of English Education—Part 4 (1)

For the past 156 days (cf. https://note.com/real_hare9943/n/n3e580aa008eb), we have picked out and been discussing the following sentence,

　This is a pen.

which unfortunately has long been stigmatized as a typical one of the most unexpected utterances in daily spoken English.

However, isn’t this kind of statement a mere echo of others―perhaps? What’s more, isn’t it possibly just a unilateral blanket opinion?

With this awareness of the issue, we have been executing “factor decomposition” as follows in pursuit of acquiring a more penetrating vision to locate the latent problems involved:

　imagination　usefulness　grammar　pronunciation

From today, we will consider the topic of “creativity of language and constraints on such creativity.” Enjoy!

First, there is often a “discrepancy” between a sentence’s “phonetic configuration” and its “syntactic structure.”

Well, we are running out of time. So, let’s call it a day. Thank you for watching! See you tomorrow, friends! Have a great one!

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
