SPOAC

The SPOAC model is a pedagogically oriented tree diagram based model of sentence analysis in which each node is marked in terms of both form and function. In addition to sentence components being analyzed in terms of form and function, the sentence itself is marked in terms of its utterance function as well as its structural form.

Comments

The model operates with the following form and function labels:

Syntactic functions
S subject
P predicator
O object
Od direct object
Oi Indirect object
A adverbial
C complement
Cs subject complement
Co object complement
CO coordinator
CJT conjoint
DEP/D dependent
H head
Ø zero function
X stacking function
Utterance functions
STA statement
QUE question
COM/DIR command/directive
EXC exclamation
PER performative
OPT optative
CON condition

The term "SPOAC" is an acronym derived from the five primary sentence functions in the model of analysys - namely, subject, predicator, object, adverbial and complement.
