Accumulation: the accumulative connection is present
when no other type
of syntactic connection can be identified.
Cf.
(to give) the boy an apple – (to give) an apple to the boy
The presence of a certain syntactic connection
between the words in the
phrase “the boy an apple” can be proved by the fact that the change of order results
in the change of the form.
The accumulative connection is widely spread in
attributive phrases made up
by attributes expressed by different parts of speech (
these problematic (issues); some
old (lady)).
The position of the elements relative to each other is fixed, they cannot
exchange their positions
(*problematic these (issues); *old some (lady
)).
So, according to the
type of syntactic connection, the following subclasses
are singled out:
1.
Independent
one-class phrases with
-
syndetic coordination (
sense and sensibility
),
-
asyndetic coordination (
the Swiss, the Dutch, the Germans
);
2.
Independent hetero-class phrases with interdependent
primary
predication (
he runs
).
3.
Dependent one-class phrases with the accumulative connection (
sharp
green (pencil)
).
4.
Dependent hetero-class phrases with
-
accumulative connection (
my green (pencil)
),
-
interdependent
secondary predication
((to find) the cup broken; (she
took the box), her fingers pulling the ribbon))
