CLASSIFICATION OF SENTENCES
Based on the number and type of clauses in a sentence, there are three types of sentences:
SENTENCE
SIMPLE COMPOUNDCOMPLEX
![Page 5: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/5.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 6: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/6.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)

NOW, AN EXERCISE TO PRACTICE SYNTACTIC RELATIONS OF COORDINATION AND SUBORDINATION
PAGE 167 – exercise 3
![Page 19: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BEFORE THAT, SOME THEORY…
![Page 20: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/20.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 21: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/21.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 Oconj. 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 22: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/22.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 23: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/23.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 24: Complex Sentence PRACTICE CLASS #10 (#11) 2012-05-29/30](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519d2ac55034649768b4977/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
