The '''SPOAC model''' is a pedagogically oriented [[tree diagram]] based model of [[sentence]] [[sentence analysis|analysis]] in which each [[node]] is marked in terms of both [[part of speech|form]] and [[syntactic function|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:

===Origin===
"SPOAC" is an [[acronym]] derived from the five primary sentence functions in the model of analysys - namely, '''s'''ubject, '''p'''redicator, '''o'''bject, '''a'''dverbial and '''c'''omplement.
