Process Grammar Model

Process Grammar Model: Immediate grammar and Adjustive grammar Hilofumi Yamamoto, Ph.D. Institute of Science Tokyo Immediate grammar is a grammar that corresponds to the situation where utterances are intuitively selected and promptly realized. Adjustive grammar is a grammar used for utterances with appropriate judgment and adjustment. We propose a process grammar model as a framework for describing language use with two extremes: one that must be spoken immediately and one that is spoken after careful consideration and adjustment. Immediate grammar is not just about speaking anything immediately; strict rules exist. Adjustive grammar is vital for choosing the right words and using the proper grammar. Still, depending on the degree of adjustment (or the degree of revision), there are several ways of expression and a state of over-adjustment. This model, which considers the time axis of expression, is not wholly different from all previous grammar studies, but a framework for further developing previous grammar studies. Tasuki-gake/cross-directional Effect System 1 and 2 utterance examples added. --- PGM framework introduces the Tasuki-gake Effect The Tasuki-gake Effect describes a cross-contextual phenomenon that occurs when Immediate Grammar and Adjustment Grammar are used outside their typical contexts: - When Immediate Grammar is used in structured or prepared media (novels, speeches), it adds vividness, speed, and naturalness to expression.- When Adjustment Grammar is used in spontaneous, face-to-face contexts, it conveys politeness, formality, or ritual tone.
