Analysis and synthesis are two important processes in a language. Analyse is 'to break'; whereas synthesize is 'to join'. So, analysis means the examination of elements or structure of the given contents; on the other hand, synthesis means the combination of elements, ideas and beliefs.
The analysis of a sentence helps in:
- parsing a sentence (parsing is identifying the parts of speech of the words of a sentence.)
- spotting error in a sentence
- interpretation of a particular part of a sentence
- classifying the sentence into simple, compound or complex category
The synthesis of a sentence helps in:
- framing correct sentences of all types such as simple, compound or complex
- composing our ideas, opinion, reports
- writing essay, paragraph, letter, report
- developing fluency in language.
Analysis
When we analyse a sentence, we do the detailed examination of each and every part of a sentence/ a paragraph. At a time, we examine or try to understand a part of a sentence rather than the whole sentence.
Let us analyse a sentence: He leads a happy life.
In this sentence,
'He' is a personal pronoun in third person singular number acting as a subject of this sentence.
'Leads' is the verb in this sentence. It is a main verb in singular form. 'Leads' is coming as a transitive verb here, as it takes an object after it.
'A' is an indefinite article. 'A' is a determinative adjective or determiner.
'Happy' is a descriptive adjective, and it is in positive degree.
'Life' is an abstract noun.
'A happy life' is the object of this sentence.
This sentence is an example of a simple sentence.
Synthesis
When we synthesize, we combine words to form a sentence. Also, we combine simple sentences to form compound and complex sentences.
Let us synthesize these three sentences:
1. We know. 2. He leads a happy life. 3. He is content.
Synthesis: We know that he leads a happy life because he is content.
[Note: 'that' and 'because' are conjunctions as they are used as link words.]
