Syntax and experience: a. The basic premise of Martinet's theory can be viewed as a development from Hjelmslev's general schema (although these two authors differ widely in their applications of the schema) . The main role of language being to transmit experiences from a speaker to a hearer, any aspect of language organization should be studied in relation to the experience to be transmitted.
As such, these relations are not to be considered as either semantically motivated stage of syntactic borne to clauses or definable in structure. ) seemed somewhat effort at grammar. 6 division circumstants.
2) TESNIERE'S STRUCTURAL SYNTAX 57 Thus we could say that Tesnière goes one step beyond Martinet in the direction of a semantic grammar.

Since the "structural" connections which have themselves a semantic foundation of the components, we semantic, rather conclude than recognizes in the definition that syntactic, he the stemmas are a representation. The purely syntactic considerations appear in connection with the notion translation of nucleus: dissociation, and form the core of a truly functional syntax, which would make explicit content junction, the passage from the form of (expressed in stemmas) to the form of expression (the "linear order").
