limit being the elementary sentence. Omission of some
element of the elementary
sentence destroys it as a structural and semantic unit.
Thus, the sentence “
A low rumbling sound had broken the silence around
them
.” (from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone)
can be made more
complicated by adding new attributes, introducing dependent clauses, inserting
modal words, etc. The process will have no end. However, omission of elements
that do not affect the structural and semantic completeness of the sentence can go
on until it meets a certain limit. Such limit for the sentence under consideration is
“A sound had broken the silence”. It realizes the syntactic
structure made up by the
subject + a simple predicate expressed by a verb of non-prepositional directivity +
a direct object.
