Study Notes

Nominal Sentences

In English grammar, a nominal sentence is a type of sentence where the subject is a noun phrase rather than a pronoun. A nominal sentence expresses what someone says about something or what something means. It follows this basic structure: subject + verb + object. Unlike declarative sentences, which typically begin with a capital letter and end with a period, nominal sentences do not follow standard punctuation rules due to their unique function. Instead, they often end with conjunctions like 'and,' 'or,' or prepositions like 'of' or 'with,' depending on the context.

Nominal sentences can serve several purposes within a text:

Expressing Definitions

A common purpose of nominal sentences is defining a word. For example:

The cat is a mammal. — Subject: the catVerb: isObject: a mammal

This sentence defines "cat" as belonging to the category "mammals."

Explaining Relationships between Objects

Another use of nominal sentences is to establish relationships among objects. Take, for instance:

The fork is on the table. — Subject: the forkVerb: isObject: on the table

This sentence conveys the location of the fork relative to the table.

Describing Comparisons

Comparisons can also be made using nominal sentences, such as:

The height of the statue is greater than the width of the base. — Subject: the height of the statueVerb: isObject: greater than the width of the base

Here, the comparison is between two aspects of the statue - its height versus its base's width.

Forming Questions

Nominal sentences can also form questions by rearranging the order of elements. For example:

What is the color of the car? — Subject: whatVerb: isObject: the color of the car

By starting the sentence with "What," it becomes a question seeking information about the car's color.

In summary, nominal sentences play a crucial role in conveying definitions, establishing relationships, making comparisons, and forming questions in English texts. They allow us to express various ideas without being restricted by traditional sentence structures or punctuation conventions.
