A Critical Review of English Education Part 2 (41)

For the past 83 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

For the past thirty-nine days, we have been concentrating on pronunciation factors again.

　pronunciation (65)

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

For the past five days, we have concerned ourselves with Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” picking out and discussing some intriguing points.
