Analysing the Main syntactical and Morphological Features of a Text: Raising the Awareness about the Importance of Noun Phrases and Developing an Exercise to a Group of Advanced Language Learners

Abstract

The current paper presents a syntactical and morphological analysis of an authentic text. The article tries to move grammar teaching from a non- communicative approach into a communicative approach. The analysis focuses on noun phrases and their pre and post modification positions. The paper also contributes to the field of grammar teaching, particularly, the field of task-based learning. The researcher will suggest some exercises for potential advanced language learners of English. The analysis will also make language teachers aware of the importance of these authentic texts in explaining noun phrases. It also broadens their understanding of the pre and post modification positions of noun phrases.
