CLASSIFICATION OF SENTENCES
Based on the number and type of clauses in a sentence, there are three types of sentences:
SENTENCE
SIMPLE COMPOUNDCOMPLEX
![Page 8: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF SENTENCES SIMPLE SENTENCE = SINGLE INDEPENDENT/MAIN CLAUSE,
all sentence elements are realized as phrases:[The members] [did not know] [the scope of the problem]. S (NP) V (VP) O (NP)
COMPLEX SENTENCE = ONE INDEPENDENT/MAIN CLAUSE AND AT LEAST ONE DEPENDENT/SUBORDINATE CLAUSE, at least one sentence element is realized as a clause:[The members] [know] [that the problem has a wide scope]. S (NP) V (VP) O (clause)[The members] [knew] [the answer] [when the chairman asked]. S (NP) V (VP) O (NP) (A) (clause)
![Page 9: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF SENTENCES
COMPOUND SENTENCE = AT LEAST TWO INDEPENDENT/MAIN CLAUSES:[She] [took] [the test] [in June] and [she] [passed] [it] [easily].S (NP) V (VP) O (NP) A (PP) CONJ. S(NP) V (VP) O (NP) (A) (AdvP)[Mary] [likes] [dogs] but [she] [doesn’t like] [hamsters].S (NP) V (VP) O (NP) CONJ. S(NP) V (VP) O (NP)
![Page 10: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
LINKERS LINKERS are syntactic items which link two
syntactic element. Depending on the type of syntactic elements
which are linked, linkers can be classified into two groups:
CONJUNCTS – they link SENTENCES, e.g.He studied hard. However, he didn’t pass the exam.
CONJUNCTIONS – they link CLAUSES, and according to their function they can be further divided into: Coordinators (and, but, or) Subordinators (if, although, that, when, etc.)
![Page 11: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SUBORDINATION vs. COORDINATION
Both SUBORDINATION and COORDINATION are processes of linking of at least two syntactic units.
However, they are different HIERARCHICALLY: SUBORDINATION: syntactic units being linked are
NOT on the same syntactic level. COORDINATION: syntactic units being linked ARE
ON THE SAME syntactic level. Why do we talk about SYNTACTIC UNITS and not
CLAUSES? Because, both CLAUES and PHRASES can be
COORDINATED (but, phrases CANNOT be SUBORDINATED)
![Page 12: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SUBORDINATION OF CLAUSES
SUBORDINATION (← OR →) is a non-symmetrical relation holding between 2 clauses in such a way that one is a constituent of the other (MAIN/MATRIX CLAUSE has SUBORDINATE CLAUSE as ITS CONSTITUENT).
They think that she can succeed if she tries hard enough.S V O
conj. S ------V------ -------------(ADV)---------- conj. S V -----
(ADV)-----THIS MEANS THAT SUBORDINATION IS RECURSIVE:A subordinate clause itself can have as its constituent another subordinate clause (that she can succeed if she tries hard enough).
![Page 13: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SUBORDINATION OF CLAUSES
The relationship of subordination can be represented graphically with a TREE DIAGRAM:
They think
that she can succeed
if she tries hard enough
![Page 14: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
COORDINATION COORDINATION (↔) is a symmetrical
relation holding between 2 clauses which are of EQUAL STATUS.
Why do we mention EQUAL STATUS? Because, the two coordinated clauses
can be either two MAIN/INDEPENDENT clauses (=COMPOUND sentence), or two SUBORDINATE/DEPENDENT clauses.
![Page 15: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
COORDINATION Coordination of two MAIN/INDEPENDENT
clauses:She took the test and she passed it.
This structure is actually a COMPOUND SENTENCE.
It too, just as a complex sentence, can be represented graphically.

SUBORDINATORS SUBORDINATORS (i.e. SUBORDINATING
CONJUNCTIONS) are FORMAL INDICATORS of SUBORDINATION.
They introduce subordinate clauses and are classified into the following groups:
that, if, although, as, because, since, when, while, etc.
in order that, provided that, as soon as, as though, etc.
no sooner…than, hardly…when, … the moment, once,… 0, Did you …, Had he done…

CLAUSES Every complex sentence consists of two types of
clauses: MAIN/INDEPENDENT/SUPERORDINATE CLAUSES DEPENDENT/SUBORDINATE CLAUSES
SUBORDINATE clauses are CONSTITUENTS of larger syntactic units (PHRASES or SENTENCES)
Clauses in phrases: NP: [His hope that things will improve] is unfounded. AP: He is [sure that things will improve]
Clauses in sentences: I know [that things will improve].

STRUCTURAL CLASSIFICATION OF DEPENDENT CLAUSES
Structural classification is based on the STRUCTURE OF THE VERB ELEMENT IN A GIVEN CLAUSE Depend
ent clauses
FINITE NON-FINITE
Infinitival
Participial
VERBLESS
![Page 25: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
FINITE DEPENDENT CLAUSE A FINITE CLAUSE is a clause which has a
finite VP as its V element. In other words: the VP agrees with the SUBJECT (there is CONCORD between S and V).
He told me that he was studying hard for the exam. *He told me that he were studying hard
for the exam. I can’t go out because I’m studying.
*I can’t go out because I’s studying.
![Page 26: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
NON-FINITE DEPENDENT CLAUSES When the V element is a non-finite VP, there are several
possibilities: I expected her to quit. (NOTE: I expected them to quit.) The only solution would be for her to quit. All I did was push the red button. Rather than Paul do it, I will. Leaving the camp, they dented their RV. With all his friends having been wounded, Rambo was in
a desperate situation. Having been in a similar situation before, he knew what
to do. Rambo left Cambodia, his job finished. Convinced that somebody at the court wanted to poison
him, the king didn’t eat anything.

VERBLESS DEPENDENT CLAUSES
Angry, he reached for his baseball bat. Too angry to think about consequences, he
grabbed his shotgun and started shooting. When ripe, bananas tend to look rotten from
the outside. With that problem now out of our way, we can
focus on what is really important. VERBLESS CLAUSES:
have NO V element they are usually ellipsis of be and the subject both the verb and the subject are recoverable
from the context
![Page 28: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES OF NON-FINITE AND VERBLESS CLAUSES
Non-finite and verbless clauses differ syntactically from finite clauses in several important respects: In non-finite clauses there is NO SUBJECT-VERB
AGREEMENT: For him [to do] such a thing is unbelievable. For them [to do] such a thing is unbelievable. They [do]/ [ *does] unbelievable things.
Because they contain a non-finite VP, non-finite clauses CANNOT express TENSE, MOOD and MODALITY
Non-finite clauses often contain NO SUBORDINATOR: Determined to do it, they jumped.
![Page 29: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES OF NON-FINITE AND VERBLESS CLAUSES
Non-finite clauses are often subject to SYNTACTIC COMPRESSION (no subordinator, no subject, no auxiliary verb): (Because they were) Determined to do it, they jumped.
The SUBJECT is either IMPLIED (a) or OVERT (b): A) To reach the summit, the climbers had to risk a lot. B) Lunch finished, the guests left. For him to do such a
thing is unimaginable. Non-finite clauses can cause AMBIGUITY:
We met him leaving the room. When we were leaving the room? When he was leaving the room?

ADVERBIAL CLAUSES: detailed SEMANTIC classification (2/2)
SEMANTIC TYPES OF ADVERBIAL CLAUSES (continued): ADVERBIAL CLAUSES OF PURPOSE:[To stop the global warming], Chuck Norris started beating up all CO2 molecules. ADVERBIAL CLAUSES OF RESULT:Many households put life-size pop-up boards of Chuck Norris at their porches [so that by the next day the crime rate had dropped to zero]. ADVERBIAL CLAUSES OF MANNER AND COMPARISON:If you meet Chuck Norris, you must do exactly [as he tells you to].Chuck Norris hunted the terrorists [as a tiger stalks his prey]. ADVERBIAL CLAUSES OF PROPORTION:[As the lane got narrower], (so) the overhanging branches made it more difficult for the terrorists to keep sight of Chuck Norris chasing them.[The narrower the lane got], [the more difficult] the overhanging branches made it for the terrorists to keep sight of Chuck Norris chasing them. ADVERBIAL CLAUSES OF PREFERENCE:[Rather than travel by air], Chuck Norris would prefer a week on a big liner all by myself.

A brief digression on condition and concession: Adverbial clauses of concession denote that
in the light of the circumstances in the dependent clause, the main clause is surprising, and they are introduced by ALTHOUGH, THOUGH, WHILE, WHEREAS, EVEN THOUGH: [Although he had offended Chuck Norris], he
survived, albeit rather physically deformed. Sometimes they are introduced by ZERO
SUBORDINATOR (inversion, etc.): [Unarmed as/that he was], Chuck Norris braved an
armed assault by 10 000 terrorists.
![Page 42: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
A brief digression on condition and concession: Adverbial clauses of condition denote that
there is a state of dependence of the main clause on one circumstance or a set of circumstances described in the subordinate clause, and they are introduced by IF, UNLESS, PROVIDING THAT, etc.: [If you offend Chuck Norris], you are a dead man.
Sometimes, however, IF introduces ADVERBIAL CLAUSES OF CONCESSION: [If he is spiritually poor], at least Chuck Norris is
honest.
![Page 43: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A brief digression on structural properties of non-finite adverbial clauses:
Almost all adverbial clauses can be realized as either FINITE CLAUSES or NON-FINITE CLAUSES, where NON-FINITE CLAUSES can be subject to varying degrees of SYNTACTIC COMPRESSION or ELLIPSIS (dropping the repetitive phrases out of the subordinate clause): [When they saw Chuck Norris approaching], the terrorists
fled. [Having seen Chuck Norris approaching], the terrorists fled. [Chuck Norris approaching], the terrorists fled.
However, there is a limit to what can be dropped out and how compressed the structure may be. *[Approaching], the terrorists fled.
![Page 44: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
A brief digression on structural properties of non-finite adverbial clauses:
Non-finite adverbial clauses are bound to the rule of SUBJECT RECOVERABLITY (i.e. there should be a suitable subject in the subject position of the main clause). [Persuaded by our optimism], Chuck Norris gladly
contributed time and money to the scheme. However, the SENTENCE MAY BECOME AMBIGUOUS if
the NP with which the understood subject of the non-finite clause should be identified DOES NOT APPEAR AS THE SUBJECT OF THE MAIN CLAUSE. [Flying through the air at the speed of sound], a sudden
thought struck Chuck Norris. [Since leaving her], the whole life has seemed pointless. SUBJECT RECOERABILITY RULE is also knows as
ATTACHMENT RULE.
![Page 45: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
A brief digression on structural properties of non-finite adverbial clauses:
SUBJECT RECOVERABLITY / ATTACHEMENT RULE is traditionally stated with reference to PARTICIPLES, but it applies just as much to INFINITIVAL and VERBLESS CLAUSES as to participial clauses.
Here’s a gradation of acceptability in terms of subject recoverability: [To climb the rock face], Chuck Norris had to take various
precautions, because he did not want to damage it. ?[To climb the rock face], various precautions had to be taken,
because he did not want to damage it. ??[Though very ill], the medicine cured him in no time. *[A result of the rise in prices], our economy is suffering. **[To climb the rock face], certain precautions are set out
below. The only exception to this rule are verbless clauses with
impersonal reference: I’ll help you, [if necessary]. (i.e. if IT is necessary).

A brief digression on structural properties of non-finite comparative clauses:
Many comparative clauses in the postmodification of ADVERB PHRASES and ADJECTIVE PHRASES can be realized with varying degrees of SYNTACTIC COMPRESSION or ELLIPSIS (similarly to adverbial clauses): Nobody speaks English better [than Chuck Norris]. (i.e. than
Chuck Norris speaks English). However, ambiguity mar arise according to whether the NP is
interpreted as the subject or the object of the original clause. He loves the dog more [than his wife].
However in formal contexts, if a pronoun is used, there is no ambiguity: He loves the dog more [than her]. He loves the dog more [than she].
In informal communication the objective case is used (her), so there can be ambiguity.
Similar: He attacked the government more than we/us.

A brief digression on the comparative item MORE:
The comparative item MORE can have as many as six functions and it is very important to be aware of that in order to avoid errors in syntactic analysis: MORE as QUANTIFIER:
Jack has more girlfriends than his brother (has). MORE as HEAD OF NP:
More (of them) are at home than (are) abroad. MORE as ADJUNCT:
I agree with you more than ((I agree) with) Robert. MORE as MODIFIER OF ADJECTIVE HEAD:
His speech was more interesting than I expected (it would be). MORE as MODIFIER OF ADJECTIVE PREMODIFIER:
It was a more lively discussion than I expected (it would be). MORE as MODFIER OF ADVERB:
The time passed more quickly than (it passed) last year.
![Page 54: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
A brief digression on the comparative item MORE:
Why do we make a distinction between these two? After all they look quite similar: MORE as MODIFIER OF ADJECTIVE HEAD:
His speech was more interesting than I expected (it would be).
MORE as MODIFIER OF ADJECTIVE PREMODIFIER: It was a more lively discussion than I expected (it
would be). Because there is a difference between:
There are more intelligent monkeys that Herbert.There are monkeys (who are) more intelligent that Herbert.

CONDITIONAL CLAUSES Conditional clauses are adverbial clauses (i.e.
subordinate clauses) which convey a condition upon which the situation in the main clause is DEPENDENT.
They are introduced by the following subordinators: If unless (negative condition) on condition (that) provided (that) given (that) supposing (that) assuming (that) in case as long as if only
![Page 57: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
TYPES OF CONDITIONAL CLAUSES Depending on the type of condition that they express,
conditional clauses can be classified into: Direct conditional clauses
They convey a CONDITION UPON WHICH THE SITUATION IN THE MAIN CLAUSE IS DIRECTLY DEPENDENT, there are two subtypes: OPEN : If it doesn’t rain, we’ll go out. HYPOTHETICAL : If it weren’t raining, we’d go out.
Indirect conditional clauses They convey a CONDITION UPON WHICH THE SITUATION IN
THE MAIN CLAUSE IS INDIRECTLY RELATED WITH If you are going my way, I need a lift.
Rhetorical conditional clauses They are used as figures of speech to EMPHASIZE THE
NEGATION OF THE MAIN CLAUSE: If they’re telling the truth, I’m the king of Spain.

TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION According to the traditional classification, all conditional
clauses (or conditionals) are classified into: FIRST CONDITIONAL / TYPE A / TYPE 1
IF SHE COMES TO THE PARTY, HE WILL BE HAPPY. TIME REFERENCE: FUTURE, FULFILMENT POSSIBLE, REAL POSSIBILITY
SECOND CONDITIONAL / TYPE B / TYPE 2 IF SHE CAME TO THE PARTY, HE WOULD BE HAPPY. TIME REFERENCE: FUTURE, FULFILMENT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, LOW
POSSIBILITY (DREAM, WISHFUL THINKING, ETC.) THIRD CONDITIONAL / TYPE C / TYPE 3
IF SHE HAD COME TO THE PARTY, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY. TIME REFERENCE: PAST, FULFILMENT IMPOSSIBLE, UNREAL
POSSIBILITY MIXED TYPE (e.g. ZERO CONDITIONALS)
IF SOMEBODY IS AT THE PARTY, HE SHOULD BE PARTYING. TIME REFERENCE: ALWAYS, FULFILMENT CERTAIN, NO POSSIBILITY:
CERATINTY OTHER TIME REFERENCES ALSO EXIST

TRADITIONAL vs. LINGUISTIC CLASSIFICATION
FIRST CONDITIONAL > OPEN CONDITIONAL, FUTURE TIME REFERENCE
IF SHE COMES TO THE PARTY, HE WILL BE HAPPY. SECOND CONDITIONAL > HYPOTHETICAL
CONDITIONAL, FUTURE TIME REFERENCE IF SHE CAME TO THE PARTY, HE WOULD BE HAPPY.
THIRD CONDITIONAL > HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONAL, PAST TIME REFERENCE
IF SHE HAD COME TO THE PARTY, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY.
WHAT ABOUT OPEN CONDITIONAL WITH PAST TIME REFERENCE?
IF IT RAINED, AYRTON SENNA ALWAYS PRACTICED FOR WET RACES.
THE TRADITIONAL CLASSIFICATION IS FLAWED AND IMPRECISE.

OPEN CONDITIONAL CLAUSES Open conditionals are called open, because they convey
open or real conditions. In other words, the question of whether the condition will
be fulfilled is OPEN, i.e. the possibility for the condition to be fulfilled EXISTS.
They can have the following time references: FUTURE PRESENT PAST
There are NO RESTRICTIONS on the use of verb forms (in either the IF-CLAUSE or the MAIN CLAUSE) I.e. THE COMBINATION OF TENSES IS FREE
The use (mood) of verb forms is INDICATIVE (NOT hypothetical), therefore the open conditional clauses are SUBJECT TO THE SEQUENCE OF TENSES RULE
![Page 61: COMPLEX SENTENCE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56816774550346895ddc6775/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

HYPOTHETICAL CONDITIONAL CLAUSES
Hypothetical conditionals are called hypothetical (or unreal), because they convey hypothetical/unreal conditions.
In other words, the question of whether the condition will be fulfilled is NOT OPEN, i.e. the possibility for the condition to be fulfilled DOES NOT EXISTS.
They can have the following time references: FUTURE PRESENT PAST
There are RESTRICTIONS on the use of verb forms (in both the IF-CLAUSE and the MAIN CLAUSE) I.e. THE COMBINATION OF TENSES IS NOT FREE
The use (mood) of verb forms is SUBJUNCTIVE (i.e. hypothetical), therefore the hypothetical conditional clauses are NOT SUBJECT TO THE SEQUENCE OF TENSES RULE

CONDITIONAL CLAUSES => CLOSING REMARKS With verbs SHOULD, HAD and WERE it is
possible to have SUBJECT-OPERATOR INVERSION: Had he done that, I would have helped him. Were you in my shoes, you would do the same
thing. Should he send a complaint, we will sue him.
Will and would can have SPECIAL USES in IF-CLAUSES: POLITENESS: If you will/would wait, I will see to it. EXPRESSING WILLINGNESS: If you will/would
listen to me, I will be able to help you.
