| 4. Asyndetic Sentences
In some composite sentences clauses are not attached to one another in any grammatical way, they simply abut against each other, they make contact but are not connected. Grammar books differ in identifying the linguistic essence of such syntactic structures. In traditional grammar asyndetic sentences, just as syndetic ones, were classified into compound and complex. For instance, the sentence He came to her; she did not move would be classed among the compound sentences, and the sentence I can see what you are driving at among complex ones. This traditional treatment of asyndetic composite sentences was criticized by some scholars. For example, a different approach is found in N. S. Pospelov's treatments of asyndeton in Russian syntax where asyndetic sentences are viewed as a special syntactic category with no immediate relevance to subordination or coordination. Various approaches to classifying asyndetic composite sentences have been sought, but non of them has provided an adequate interpretation of this phenomenon so far. According to Prof. Ilyish, in some types of asyndetic composite sentences, there is a main and a subordinate clause, while the other types of asyndetic sentences do not admit of such a distinction. E g. This is the most interesting book I have ever read. – attributive clause I think you should go there right away. – object clause Should any problems occur, give me a call. – conditional clause 109 The old man felt offended; he had been treated unjustly . – causal clause He pressed the button, something clicked inside. – clause of result As it can be seen from the above examples, the semantic relations between clauses are signalled only by the lexical meaning of the words making up the sentence. This example is illustrative of the interaction between vocabulary and syntax which should not be overlooked in grammatical analysis. жүктеу/скачать 0,5 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
