Identification and Judgment of Composition Elements Sample Clauses

Identification and Judgment of Composition Elements. For the initial phase of this project, I performed an extensive numerical analysis of each composition. I first established a total word count for each composition, and then I focused my attention exclusively on verbal elements. I highlighted all verb usages in each of the compositions. I made a distinction between isolated main verb usage and auxiliary verb/main verb usage. This distinction allowed closer analysis of the more complex constructions that auxiliary verb/main verb phrases are comprised of. Compositions that contain a greater number of these auxiliary verb/main verb phrases in proportion to the total number of verbs used in the composition often indicate that the writer has more proficiency with the language. Phrase constructions containing gerunds and infinitives were not identified as verb forms as those forms “fulfill the function of noun without being formally nouns” (Koffi, 2010, p. 212). Likewise, verbal participles were also not examined in this study since they usually serve an adjectival function (Koffi, 2010, p. 213) and were therefore outside the parameters of this study. Once the main verb and auxiliary verb/main verb constructions were identified, I performed error detection and correction of phi-feature agreement on each of the compositions. In phrase constructions that contain both an auxiliary verb and a main verb, although the auxiliary verb handles phi-feature agreement between the verb and subject (Koffi, 2010, p. 168), I also examined the main verb for construction problems. Although auxiliary verbs are carriers of tense, mood, and aspect information, this information was not pertinent to a study of phi-feature agreement. Once the pertinent verbs were identified, I then determined if they were used correctly or if they were used incorrectly. In order to error- correct the compositions, I used what Xxxxxx refers to as ‘native-speaker competence rules’ (1999, p. 3) and verified their validity against English grammars listed in References. If the verbs were used incorrectly, I determined if the error was related to phi-feature agreement or was due to another usage mistake. If an incorrect verb was used in the composition (e.g., “be” should have been used instead of “have”), the correct verb usage was indicated but the incorrect verb was used in the error analysis. The results of these findings were then parsed and processed.
