    Grammatical abbreviations are generally written in full or small caps to visually distinguish them from the translations of lexical words.

    In the English examples, the verb roll agrees in number with cars, implying that the latter is still the syntactic subject of the sentence, despite being in a noncanonical subject position. However, in the Zulu example of locative inversion, it is the noun isikole , "school" that controls subject-verb agreement, despite not being the semantic ...

  9. Valency (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valency_(linguistics)

    The linguistic meaning of valency derives from the definition of valency in chemistry. Like valency found in chemistry, there is the binding of specific elements. In the grammatical theory of valency, the verbs organize sentences by binding the specific elements. Examples of elements that would be bound would be the complement and the actant. [1]
