The purpose of this section is to analyze the decreasing value of the production in frequency between the three types of the bigram syntactic sequences and the three types of the trigram syntactic sequences in order to test Hypothesis 2 which was proposed for this study. Hypothesis 2 denotes that, in the learner’s corpus, as compared to the reference corpora, the production rate of the articles is lower in the NPs which have an adjective preceding a noun (Art + Adj + N) than noun phrases which have

Writing has been something that I have grown to love. At first, writing always felt like a chore. It felt difficult, boring, and tedious. However, once I entered my junior year of high school, my perception on writing immensely changed. During this year I fell in love with analyzing novels and finding new things within them. I enjoyed scouring the novels for any bit of new information and re-reading to gain another perspective. A paper that I was particularly happy with was on The Kite Runner by

Compare the central characters in ‘Medusa’ and ‘My Last Duchess’ Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘Medusa’ and Robert Browning’s ‘My Last Duchess’ are two entirely different poems in many respects. Written in entirely different eras, some would say that they are as opposite as poetry could be.

such as: articles (the, a), main verbs (fly, eat), nouns (chair, nest), proper nouns (Chris, Max), pronouns (he, they), adjectives (sad), and prepositions (in, on).

The tenth poem stands out after the depiction of the gradually building tension between the lovers in the previous texts as it once again, like the first and second poem, seems to describe just the scenery. The speaker waits and contemplates a beautiful flower bed, which he portrays in detailed sensual images. The first verse outlines the situation and conveys the speaker’s calm state of mind.
