Syntactic Structure of Awgni Sentences Based on Form

The study attempted to assess systematic examination of syntactic representations found in structural based Awgni sentence. Through purposive sampling, seventeen written and oral texts were selected. Seven informants (three females and four males) were interviewed to crosscheck these data. Results indicated that sentences in terms of their forms, forming, constituents' combination, or causal relationship, the number and types of clause they contain were different. Each sentence structure shares syntactic representations (Ss) that include Noun Phrases (NPs), Verb Phrases (VPs), Prepositional phrases (PPs), Adverbial Phrases (ADVPs), and Adjectival Phrases (APs). Sentences have both linear sequences of words; a hierarchical structure with phrases nested in phrases and resulted in dominance and precedence relationships. Finally, the study recommended a further research on some basic properties of Awgni syntax, grammatical functions, and semantic roles.
