CASE GRAMMAR
Filmore’s case grammar has made several modifications in Chomsky’s transformational
grammar
...
In contrast to Chomsky’s verb
phrases, Filmore also focused on the study of noun phrases where various functions of nouns in
sentences were shown
...
In teaching English grammar, it might be a little difficult to adapt and teach the case
grammar to students because it requires full knowledge about the different case categories
namely: agentive, objective, instrumental, locative, benefactive, dative, factitive and
commitative
...
Because in case frames, Filmore enumerated possible sequences of verb
phrases depending on what verb will be used
...
As an English teacher, if I were to choose between transformational or case grammar, I
will choose transformational, because aside from being the basic analysis in understanding
sentences and its meaning with the help of deep structure and surface structure, the process itself
is easier and more comprehensible in teaching grammar compared to case grammar
...
Moreover, in the comparison of their
respective diagramming, transformational has a more organized pattern based on the original
sentence unlike in case grammar it has a tendency to rearrange sequence of words by separating
the verb in order to emphasize the case categories whether the noun was agentive, locative, etc
...
For Filmore’s case grammar it would be better if there weren’t too much details
of the tenses, aspects or case patterns that affects the diagramming
...
However, it could still be one of the
choices in teaching grammar, but only for specific learners like the advanced students who could
cope up with the changes Filmore has made in studying grammar, for this could take a lot of time
and effort to be achieved
