Isilimi

Isisho siwumusho noma inkulumo evame ukuveza incazelo engokomfanekiso, engekho ngokoqobo enamathele emshweni. Eminye imisho eba yizisho ezingokomfanekiso, nokho, igcina incazelo engokoqobo yomusho. Ihlukaniswe njengolimi oluhleliwe, incazelo engokomfanekiso yesisho ihlukile enchazelweni engokoqobo.The Oxford companion to the English language (1992:495f.) Izisho zenzeka kaningi kuzo zonke izilimi; esiNgisi sisodwa kunezisho ezilinganiselwa ezigidini ezingamashumi amabili nanhlanu.Jackendoff (1997).

Izisho eziningi zazibhekiselwa ngokoqobo ekusetshenzisweni kwazo kwamgempela, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi ukuchazwa kwencazelo engokoqobo kwashintsha futhi inkulumo ngokwayo yakhula isuka kwincazelo yayo yangempela - ngokuvamile yaholela emthonjeni womdabu. Ngokwesibonelo, inkulumo ethi "chitha ubhontshisi" (okusho ukudalula imfihlo) yaqinisekiswa okokuqala ngo-1919, kodwa kuthiwa ivela endleleni yasendulo yokuvota ngokufaka ubhontshi ezimbizeni, ezingase zichithwe, kumbuleke imiphumela ngaphambi kwesikhathi.

Ezinye izisho ezokufanekisa. Ngokwesibonelo, "ukwephula umlenze" kuyisisho esididayo sokufisela umuntu inhlanhla ngaphambi kokungena  enkundleni kumbe yokudlala noma yesethulo senkulumo. Kungenzeka kwavela ekukholelweni ukuthi umuntu akufanele asho amazwi athi "ngikufisela inhlanhla" kumlingisi ngoba kukholelwa ukuthi ukwenza kanjalo kuzobangela umphumela ophambene."Break a legge" kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi iyisiqalo salesisho. I-legge yintambo yekhethini evulwayo noma evalwayo okuyiyona elihlukanisa isiteji nezithameli. Uma ikhethini livulwa ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuze abadlali bamukele ukushaywa kwehlombe okuqhubekayo, i- legge ingase "iphule" ekusetshenzisweni ngokweqile, okungabonakala njengokusebenza okuyimpumelelo, yilokhu okufiselekayo ngalesisho.
