§ 1 Union and non-union complex sentences

In this lesson we will look at groups of complex sentences and systematize our knowledge about them.

So, it is known that complex sentences, depending on the means of communication between the parts, are divided into allied and non-allied.

For example:

The conjunction between the parts of a complex sentence is carried out using the conjunction that and intonation.

The non-union connection between the parts of a complex sentence is carried out using intonation.

§ 2 Types of complex conjunction sentences. Compound Sentences

Depending on the means of communication, compound sentences are divided into compound sentences (CCS) and complex sentences (CCS).

The parts of any complex sentence are connected using coordinating conjunctions and intonation. Coordinating conjunctions can connect both homogeneous members of a sentence and equal simple sentences as part of a compound sentence.

For example:

A simple sentence with homogeneous predicates.

Complex sentence -

Coordinating conjunctions are divided into three groups:

Connecting: and; yes (meaning and); not only... but also; both... and;

·Adverse: a; But; yes (meaning but); however; but;

Separating: or; or; then... then; not that... not that.

The semantic connection of simple sentences within a complex sentence is determined by the conjunctions by which they are connected. Depending on the group of conjunctions, a semantic connection can convey simultaneity and sequence of actions, causal relationships, alternation of events and their mutual exclusion, as well as comparison and contrast.

For example:

This compound sentence reflects the alternation of events conveyed with the help of the disjunctive conjunction not this...not that.

§ 3 Complex sentences

Parts of a complex sentence are connected using subordinating conjunctions or allied words (in the form of pronouns and adverbs) and intonation. Both subordinating conjunctions and allied words connect simple sentences in a complex sentence, one of which is subordinate in meaning to the other, i.e. from one sentence (main) to another (subordinate) you can pose a question.

For example:

Subordinating conjunctions are divided into the following groups:

·Causal: because; because; because; in view of the fact that; thanks to the fact that; due to the fact that; due to the fact that, etc.;

· Target: in order (to); in order to; so that etc.;

·Temporary: when; only; only only; Bye; barely, etc.;

Conditional: if; if; once; whether; how soon, etc.;

·Comparative: how; as if; as if; as if; exactly, etc.;

· Explanatory: what; to; like others;

·Concessive: despite the fact that; Although; no matter what, etc.

The semantic connection of simple sentences within a complex sentence is also determined by the conjunctions by which they are connected. Subordinating conjunctions can indicate the cause, condition, purpose of those events and phenomena referred to in the main sentence.

For example:

In a complex sentence, the meaning of the goal is conveyed, reflected with the help of the conjunction so.

The conjunction between parts of a complex sentence, as well as between homogeneous members of a simple sentence, is often used as a stylistic device called polyunion, or polysyndeton.

For example:

The ocean walked before my eyes, and swayed, and thundered, and sparkled, and faded, and glowed, and went somewhere into infinity.

Or a poem by Z.N. Gippius, seething with political passions, written in the form of a polyunion, using the conditional conjunction “if”:

If the light goes out, I can't see anything. If a person is a beast, I hate him. If a person is worse than a beast, I kill him. If my Russia is over, I die.

This stylistic device, which consists of deliberately increasing the number of conjunctions in a sentence, slowing down speech with forced pauses, emphasizes the role of each word in the sentence, creates unity of enumeration and enhances the expressiveness of speech.

§ 4 Brief summary of the lesson

Of course, being a unit of communication, both compound and complex sentences are at the same time a unit of formation and expression of thought. The ability to correctly construct and use complex sentences in speech reflects a person’s intelligence.

It was understood as a combination of simple sentences, achieved using certain syntactic means and characterized by semantic, constructive and intonational integrity. But its parts are not simple sentences, since: 1) they often cannot be independent communicative units, but exist only as part of a complex one; 2) do not have intonation completeness; 3) the entire proposal entirely answers one information question, i.e. represents one communicative unit. It is more correct to consider them not simple sentences, but predicative units.

Classification of complex sentences

Let's look at compound and examples and their classification. Let's start with the fact that both are complex. Complex sentences differ in the nature of the connection, the nature of the predicative units, and the order of the parts. They are union and non-union. Conjunctive sentences, which we will focus on in this article, are, in turn, divided into compound and complex sentences (see examples below).

Complex sentence (SSP)

The structural-semantic classification of SPP is based on an important formal feature - the nature of the syntactic, formal dependence of the subordinate part on the main one. This feature unites the scientific classifications of V.A. Beloshapkova and "Russian Grammar-80". All SPPs are divided into sentences of undivided and dissected types. Their differential features are as follows.

Undivided type

1. The subordinate part is in a clause position (refers to one word in the main one), a clause or correlative connection (refers to a demonstrative pronoun).

2. One of the parts is synsemantic, i.e. cannot be a semantically sufficient communicative unit outside of a complex sentence.

3. Means of communication - syntactic (multi-valued) conjunctions and allied words.

Exploded type

1. The subordinate clause refers to the entire main sentence: a determinative connection.

2. Both parts are autosemantic, i.e. potentially capable of existing independently.

3. Means of communication - semantic (unambiguous) conjunctions.

The most important sign is the first, structural sign.

Further classification of dissected type SPPs is carried out taking into account the content, semantic aspects (such as time, condition, concession, cause, purpose, consequence, comparative, comparative aspect that a complex sentence may have).

Examples from fiction and other suggestions:

  • Several hours have passed since I left the city (temporarily).
  • If you can, come by two o'clock (condition).
  • Although it was already late, the lights were on in the house (concession).
  • I almost never have free time, music requires full dedication (reason).
  • To study well, you need to work hard (goal).
  • His eyes shone like stars shine in the dark sky (comparative).
  • If he masters thought, then he even more masters form (comparative).

The classification of NGN of an undifferentiated type is primarily based on a structural feature - the nature of the means of communication, and only at the second stage - on semantic differences.

Types of non-divided type IBS

1. With a union connection: explanatory, defining (quantitative, qualitative, qualification) and comparative.

2. With pronominal connection: pronominal-interrogative and pronominal-relative complex sentences.

Examples from fiction and other sentences with conjunctions:

  • It’s stupid that you won’t come (explanatory).
  • The air is so clean, as if it were not there (definitive, quantitative).
  • He spoke quickly, as if he was being urged on (definitive, qualitative).
  • All this happened as if no one was in the room (determinative complex sentence).

Examples from literature and other sentences with pronominal connections:

  • You had to hear how he spoke (pronominal interrogative).
  • The house we live in is new (pronominal-relative, oriented).
  • No matter who applied, there was no refusal (pronominal relative, unoriented complex sentence).

Examples of sentences (grade 5, the Russian language textbook will help you continue this list), as you can see, can be given in a variety of ways.

A more detailed theoretical part can be found in many manuals (for example, V.A. Beloshapkova Grammar-80, etc.).

Complex sentences- These are sentences consisting of several simple ones.

The main means of connecting simple sentences into complex ones are intonation, conjunctions (coordinating and subordinating) and allied words (relative pronouns and pronominal adverbs).

Depending on the means of communication, complex sentences are divided into allied And non-union. Union proposals are divided into compound And complex.

Compound Sentences (SSPs) are complex sentences in which simple sentences are linked to each other by intonation and coordinating conjunctions.

Types of compound sentences by nature of the conjunction and meaning

SSP type Unions Examples
1. connecting unions(connective relations). AND; Yes(meaning And); neither..., nor; yes and; Same; Also; not only... but also...

They opened the door and air from the yard steamed into the kitchen.(Paustovsky).
Her face is pale, her slightly parted lips also turned pale(Turgenev).
Not only was there no fish, but the rod didn’t even have a fishing line(Sadovsky).
He didn’t like jokes, and even her in front of him left alone(Turgenev).

2. Compound sentences with adversarial conjunctions(adverse relationships). A; But; Yes(meaning But); however(meaning But); but; but then; and then; not that; or else; particle(in the meaning of the union A); particle only(in the meaning of the union But).

Ivan Petrovich left, but I stayed(Leskov).
Beliefs are instilled by theory, behavior is shaped by example.(Herzen).
I didn't eat anything, but I didn't feel hungry(Tendryakov).
It rained in the morning, but now the clear sky was shining above us(Paustovsky).
You today gotta talk with his father, otherwise he will worry about your departure(Pisemsky).
The boats immediately disappear into the darkness, only splashes of oars and the voices of fishermen can be heard for a long time(Dubov).

3. Compound sentences with dividing unions(separation relations). Or; or; not that..., not that; then..., then; either... or...

Either eat the fish or run aground(proverb).
Either he was jealous of Natalya, or he regretted her(Turgenev).
Either the silence and loneliness had an effect on him, or he just suddenly looked with different eyes at the environment that had become familiar(Simonov).

Pay attention!

1) Coordinating conjunctions can connect not only parts of a complex sentence, but also homogeneous members. Their distinction is especially important for punctuation marks. Therefore, when analyzing, be sure to highlight the grammatical basics in order to determine the type of sentence (simple with homogeneous members or complex sentence).

Wed: A man walked from a smoky ice hole and carried a large sturgeon(Peskov) - a simple sentence with homogeneous predicates; I'll give you money for the trip, and you can call a helicopter(Peskov) is a complex sentence.

2) Coordinating conjunctions usually take place at the beginning of the second clause (the second simple sentence).

In some places the Danube serves as a border, but it serves and is expensive people to each other(Peskov).

The exception is unions, too, also, particles-unions, only. They necessarily occupy or can occupy a place in the middle of the second part (the second simple sentence).

My sister and I cried, my mother also cried(Aksakov); His comrades treated him with hostility, but the soldiers truly loved him.(Kuprin).

Therefore, when parsing, such complex sentences are often confused with non-union complex sentences.

3) The double conjunction not only..., but also expresses gradational relations and is classified as a connecting conjunction in school textbooks. Very often, when parsing, only the second part is taken into account ( but also) and are mistakenly classified as adversative conjunctions. To avoid making mistakes, try replacing this double conjunction with the conjunction and.

Wed: Language should not only be understandable or simple, but also language must be good (L. Tolstoy). - Language must be understandable or simple, and language must be good.

4) Compound sentences are very diverse in meaning. Quite often they are close in meaning to complex sentences.

Wed: If you leave, it will become dark(Shefner). - If you leave, it will become dark; I didn't eat anything, but I didn't feel hungry(Tendryakov). - Although I didn't eat anything, I didn't feel hungry.

However, during analysis, it is not this specific meaning that is taken into account, but the meaning determined by the type of coordinating conjunction (conjunctive, adversative, disjunctive).

Notes In some textbooks and manuals, complex sentences include complex sentences with explanatory conjunctions that is, namely, For example: The board authorized him to speed up the work, that is, in other words, he authorized himself to do this(Kuprin); Bird flights developed as an adaptive instinctive act, namely: it gives birds opportunity to avoid unfavorable winter conditions(Peskov). Other researchers classify them as complex sentences or separate them into an independent type of complex sentences. Some researchers classify sentences with particles only as non-union sentences.
