Parallel and homogeneous subordination. Types of subordination in SPP

42. The concept of a non-union complex sentence. Typology non-union proposals

Non-union complex sentence - this is a complex sentence in which simple sentences are combined into one whole in meaning and intonation, without the help of conjunctions or allied words: [ Habit from above to usgiven ]: [ replacement happinessshe] (A. Pushkin).

Meaningful relationships between simple sentences in allied ones and are expressed differently. In allied sentences, conjunctions take part in their expression, so the semantic relationships here are more definite and clear. For example, union So expresses the consequence because- the reason, If- condition, however- opposition, etc.

The semantic relationships between simple sentences are expressed less clearly than in a conjunction. In terms of semantic relationships, and often in intonation, some are closer to complex ones, others - to complex ones. However, it is often the same non-union complex sentence in meaning it can be similar to both a compound and a complex sentence. Wed, for example: The spotlights came on- it became light all around; The spotlights came on and it became light all around; When the spotlights came on, it became light all around.

Meaningful relations in non-union complex sentences depend on the content of the simple sentences included in them and are expressed in oral speech intonation, and in writing various signs punctuation (see section “Punctuation marks in non-union complex sentence»).

IN non-union complex sentences The following types of semantic relations between simple sentences (parts) are possible:

I. Enumerative(some facts, events, phenomena are listed):

[I_did not see you for a whole week], [Ihaven't heard you for a long time] (A. Chekhov) -, .

Such non-union complex sentences approach complex sentences with a connecting conjunction And.

Like the compound sentences synonymous with them, non-union complex sentences can express the value 1) simultaneity listed events and 2) their sequences.

1) \ Bemep howled plaintively and quietly], [in the darknessthe horses neighed ], [from the campswam tender and passionatesong- thought] (M. Gorky) -,,.

stirred ], [ fluttered up half asleepbird ] (V. Garshin)- ,.

Non-union complex sentences with enumerative relations may consist of two sentences, or may include three or more simple sentences.

II. Causal(the second sentence reveals the reason for what is said in the first):

[I unhappy ]: [every dayguests ] (A. Chekhov). Such non-union complex sentences synonymous with complex subordinates with subordinate clauses.

III. Explanatory(the second sentence explains the first):

1) [ Items were lost your form]: [everything merged first into a gray, then into a dark mass] (I. Goncharov)-

2) [Like all Moscow residents, yoursFather is like that ]: [ I would like he is a son-in-law with stars and ranks] (A. Griboyedov)-

Such non-union sentences are synonymous with sentences with an explanatory conjunction namely.

IV. Explanatory(the second sentence explains the word in the first part that has the meaning of speech, thought, feeling or perception, or a word that indicates these processes: listened, looked, looked back and so on.; in the second case we can talk about skipping words like see, hear and so on.):

1) [ Nastya during the storyI remembered ]: [from yesterdayremained whole untouchedcast iron boiled potatoes] (M. Prishvin)- :.

2) [ I came to my senses, Tatyana looks ]: [bearNo ]... (A. Pushkin)- :.

Such non-conjunctive sentences are synonymous with complex sentences with explanatory clauses (I remembered that...; looks (and sees that)...).

V. Comparative and adversative relations (the content of the second sentence is compared with the content of the first or contrasted with it):

1) [Allhappy family looks like and each other], [eachunhappy family but in my own way] (L. Tolstoy)- ,.

2) [Rankfollowed to him]- [he suddenlyleft ] (A. Griboyedov)- - .

Such non-union complex sentences synonymous with complex sentences with adversative conjunctions a, but.

VI. Conditional-temporary(the first sentence indicates the time or condition for the implementation of what is said in the second):

1) [ Do you like to ride ] - [ love and sleighcarry ] (proverb)- - .

2) [ See you with Gorky]- [ talk with him] (A. Chekhov)--.

Such sentences are synonymous with complex sentences with subordinate clauses of condition or time.

VII. Consequences(the second sentence states the consequence of what is said in the first):

[Smallthe rain is falling since morning]- [ it's impossible to get out ] (I. Turgenev)- ^TT

44. Contaminated types of complex syntactic structures

The identification of two levels of division of complex syntactic constructions leads to the conclusion about the structural contamination of such constructions. Are contaminated complex constructions, in which entire complex sentences act as constituent components. Since a subordinating relationship is the closest connection (compared to a coordinating one, for example), it is natural that a complex sentence usually acts as a single component of a complex syntactic construction, although a non-union combination of parts within a component is also possible if these parts are interdependent.

A complex sentence can be a component of a complex sentence, a non-union sentence, and, finally, even a complex sentence.

1. Complex sentence as a component complex design With coordinating connection: Each child must experience his own, deeply individual life in the world of words, and the richer and fuller it is, the happier days and the years that we passed through a field of joys and sadness, happiness and grief (Sukhoml.). The peculiarity of the structure of this sentence is that the coordinating conjunction and (at the junction of two components of a complex structure) stands immediately before the first part of the comparative conjunction than, but attaches the entire comparative sentence as a whole, which, in turn, is complicated by a attributive clause.

In addition to the conjunction and, others are often found in similar syntactic conditions. coordinating conjunctions: Our matchmaking with the countess’s house is destroyed and cannot be restored; but even if it could, it would never exist again (Ven.); What happened is past, no one cares about it, and if Laevsky finds out, he won’t believe it (Ch.).

The following complex constructions with a coordinating connection at the first level of division are similar in structure, although they have different degrees of internal complexity:

1) Occasionally a small snowflake stuck to the outside of the glass, and if you looked closely, you could see its finest crystalline structure (Paust.);

2) We left Blok’s reading, but went on foot, and Blok was taken to the second performance in the car, and by the time we got to Nikitsky Boulevard, where the House of Press was located, the evening ended and Blok went to the Society of Lovers of Italian Literature (Past.).

2. A complex sentence as a component of a complex structure with a non-union connection: For a long time it was done like this: if a Cossack was riding on the road to Millerovo alone, without comrades, then if he met the Ukrainians... did not give way, the Ukrainians beat him (Shol. ). A feature of the structure of this sentence is the presence in the first part of a synsemantic words like that, the content of which is specified by a complex sentence, in turn, complicated by a lexically non-free part worth...

3. A complex sentence as a component of another complex sentence [The absence of different types of syntactic connections in such constructions could serve as a basis for considering them in polynomial complex sentences (see § 124). However, the special structural organization of such proposals and its similarity with the constructions described in this section make it possible to place them here in order to preserve the system in presentation.].

1) Let the father not think that if a person is nicknamed Quick Momun, it means he is bad (Aitm.).

2) Everyone knows that if a fisherman is unlucky, sooner or later such good luck will happen to him that they will talk about it throughout the village for at least ten years (Paust.).

This structural type of complex sentence is distinguished by its unity of construction: the first subordinating conjunction does not refer to the part immediately following it, but to the entire subsequent construction as a whole. Most often, a complex sentence placed after a subordinating conjunction has a double conjunction holding its parts together (if...then, with what...that, although...but, etc.) or subordinating conjunctions with bonding particles (if... then, if...so, once...then, since...then, once...then, etc.). For example: Who doesn’t know that when a patient wanted to smoke, it means the same thing that he wanted to live (Prishv.); It seemed that in order to believe that the plan for the slow movement of deforestation and food consumption was his plan, it was necessary to hide the fact that he insisted on a completely opposite military enterprise in 1945 (L.T.); Baburov, during this outburst of anger, suddenly gathered the remnants of his pride and in response said loudly, with some even pompousness, that since there is an order not to let the enemy into the Crimean land, then no matter what it costs him, he will carry out the order (Sim.).

In the above examples, there are different degrees of internal complexity, but they are united by one common structural indicator: they are built according to the “main part + subordinate clause” scheme (usually explanatory, but causal, concessive and consequential are also possible), which is a whole complex sentence (with relations conditions, reasons, time, comparison, less often - concessions and goals). This feature of contaminated complex sentences does not allow us to see here the usual sequential subordination in a complex sentence with several subordinate clauses. Such a description does not reflect the actual structure of the syntactic construction.

As can be seen from the examples given, the most common type of contaminated complex sentence is a sentence with the conjunction that (at the first level of division). However, other conjunctions are also possible, although they are much less common, for example: because, since, so, although. The following combinations of subordinating conjunctions are possible: that once... then; what if...then; what once...that; that although...but; because somehow... because once upon a time; because if...then; because once...then; because although...but; so once... then; so if...then; so once...then; so although...but; since once upon a time; since if...then; so just...that; because although...but; so as to; although if...then; although once upon a time; at least once...then; although so that etc. For example: But, probably, something had already happened in the world or was happening at that time - fatal and irreparable - because although it was still the same hot seaside summer, the dacha no longer seemed to me like a Roman villa (Cat .); I really wanted to ask where Molly was and how long ago Lee Duroc returned, because although nothing followed from this, I am naturally curious about everything (Green).

Approximately the same confluence of alliances is observed in the sentence. The second poster said that our main apartment is in Vyazma, that Count Wittgenstein defeated the French, but that since many residents want to arm themselves, there are weapons prepared for them in the arsenal (L. T.) , where the third explanatory clause (after the conjunction but) is a complex sentence.

A complex sentence can be a component of a complex polynomial sentence with several main ones: When they were driving to the logging site, it suddenly became very warm and the sun shone so brightly that it hurt their eyes (gas).

4. A complex sentence as a component of a complex sentence: I didn’t want to think that not only the guys were not interested in this magnificent picture, but many adults were at least indifferent. A compound sentence with the conjunction not only...but also is used here as an explanatory clause.

Such proposals are possible only with gradational conjunctions, for example: not only...but also; not really...but; not so much...as much.

5. A non-union complex sentence as a component of a complex sentence: The density of the grasses in other places on Prorva is such that it is impossible to land on the shore from a boat - the grasses stand like an impenetrable elastic wall (Paust.).

48.Basics of Russian punctuation. Functional features of Russian punctuation

Russian punctuation, currently a very complex and developed system, has a fairly solid foundation - formal and grammatical. Punctuation marks are primarily indicators of the syntactic, structural division of written speech. It is this principle that gives modern punctuation stability. The largest number of characters is placed on this basis.

“Grammatical” signs include such signs as a period that marks the end of a sentence; signs at the junction of parts of a complex sentence; signs that highlight functionally diverse constructions introduced into a simple sentence ( introductory words, phrases and sentences; inserts; appeals; many segmented designs; interjections); signs for homogeneous members of a sentence; signs highlighting postpositive applications, definitions - participial phrases and definitions - adjectives with extenders, standing after the word being defined or located at a distance, etc.

In any text one can find such “obligatory”, structurally determined signs.

For example: But I decided to re-read several of Shchedrin’s works. It was three or four years ago, when I was working on a book where real material was intertwined with lines of satire and fairy-tale fiction. I then took Shchedrin to avoid accidental similarities, but, having started reading, having read deeply, immersing myself in the amazing and newly discovered world of Shchedrin’s reading, I realized that the similarities would not be accidental, but obligatory and inevitable (Cass.). All signs here are structurally significant; they are placed without regard to the specific meaning of parts of sentences: highlighting subordinate clauses, fixing syntactic homogeneity, marking the boundaries of parts of a complex sentence, highlighting homogeneous adverbial phrases.

The structural principle contributes to the development of solid, commonly used rules for the placement of punctuation marks. Signs placed on this basis cannot be optional or copyrighted. This is the foundation on which modern Russian punctuation is built. This is, finally, the necessary minimum, without which unhindered communication between the writer and the reader is unthinkable. Such signs are currently quite regulated, their use is stable. Dividing the text into grammatically significant parts helps to establish the relationship of some parts of the text to others, indicates the end of the presentation of one thought and the beginning of another.

The syntactic division of speech ultimately reflects the logical, semantic division, since grammatically significant parts coincide with logically significant, semantic segments of speech, since the purpose of any grammatical structure is to convey a certain thought. But quite often it happens that the semantic division of speech subordinates the structural, i.e. the specific meaning dictates the only possible structure.

In the sentence The hut is thatched, with a pipe, the comma standing between the combinations is thatched and with a pipe, fixes the syntactic homogeneity of the members of the sentence and, therefore, the grammatical and semantic attribution of the prepositional case form with a pipe to the noun hut.

In cases where different combinations of words are possible, only a comma helps to establish their semantic and grammatical dependence. For example: Inner lightness has appeared. Walks freely on the streets, to work (Levi). A sentence without a comma has a completely different meaning: walks the streets to work (denoting one action). In the original version, there is a designation for two different actions: walking along the streets, i.e. walks and goes to work.

Such punctuation marks help establish semantic and grammatical relationships between words in a sentence and clarify the structure of the sentence.

The ellipsis also serves a semantic function, helping to put logically and emotionally incompatible concepts at a distance. For example: Engineer... in reserve, or the misadventures of a young specialist on the way to recognition; Goalkeeper and goal... in the air; History of peoples... in dolls; Skiing... picking berries. Such signs play an exclusively semantic role (and often with emotional overtones).

The location of the sign, dividing the sentence into semantic and, therefore, structurally significant parts, also plays a large role in understanding the text. Compare: And the dogs became quiet, because no stranger disturbed their peace (Fad.). - And the dogs became quiet because no stranger disturbed their peace. In the second version of the sentence, the reason for the condition is more emphasized, and the rearrangement of the comma helps to change the logical center of the message, draws attention to cause of the phenomenon, whereas in the first version the goal is different - a statement of the condition with an additional indication of its cause. However, more often the lexical material of a sentence dictates only the only possible meaning. For example: For a long time, a tigress named Orphan lived in our zoo. They gave her this nickname because she really was orphaned in early age(gas.). The dismemberment of the conjunction is obligatory, and it is caused by the semantic influence of the context. In the second sentence, it is necessary to indicate the reason, since the fact itself has already been named in the previous sentence.

On a semantic basis, signs are placed in non-union complex sentences, since they are the ones who convey the necessary meanings in written speech. Wed: The whistle blew, the train started moving. - The whistle blew and the train started moving.

Often, with the help of punctuation marks, specific meanings of words are clarified, i.e. the meaning contained in them in this particular context. Thus, a comma between two adjective definitions (or participles) brings these words closer together semantically, i.e. makes it possible to highlight general shades of meaning that emerge as a result of various associations, both objective and sometimes subjective. Syntactically, such definitions become homogeneous, since, being similar in meaning, they alternately refer directly to the word being defined. For example: The darkness of spruce needles is written in thick, heavy oil (Sol.); When Anna Petrovna left for her place in Leningrad, I saw her off at the cozy, small station (Paust.); Thick, slow snow was flying (Paust.); A cold, metallic light flashed on thousands of wet leaves (Gran.). If we take the words thick and heavy, cozy and small, thick and slow, cold and metallic out of context, then it is difficult to discern something common in these pairs, since these possible associative connections are in the sphere of secondary, non-basic, figurative meanings that become the main ones in the context.

Russian punctuation is partly based on intonation: a dot at the site of a large deepening of the voice and a long pause; interrogative and Exclamation point and, intonation dash, ellipsis, etc. For example, an address can be highlighted with a comma, but increased emotionality, i.e. a special distinctive intonation dictates another sign - an exclamation mark. In some cases, the choice of sign depends entirely on intonation. Wed: The children will come, let's go to the park. - When the children come, let's go to the park. In the first case there is enumerative intonation, in the second - conditional intonation. But the intonation principle acts only as a secondary principle, not the main one. This is especially evident in cases where the intonational principle is “sacrificed” to the grammatical principle. For example: Morozka lowered the bag and, cowardly, burying his head in his shoulders, ran towards the horses (Fad.); The deer digs up the snow with its front leg and, if there is food, begins to graze (Ars.). In these sentences, the comma comes after the conjunction and, since it fixes the boundary of the structural parts of the sentence (adverbial phrase and subordinate part of the sentence). Thus, the intonation principle is violated, because the pause is before the conjunction.

The intonation principle does not operate in most cases in its “ideal”, pure form, i.e. Some intonation stroke (for example, a pause), although fixed by a punctuation mark, ultimately this intonation itself is a consequence of the given semantic and grammatical division of the sentence. Wed: Brother is my teacher. - My brother is a teacher. The dash here fixes a pause, but the place of the pause is predetermined by the structure of the sentence and its meaning.

So, the current punctuation does not reflect any single, consistently followed principle. However, the formal grammatical principle is now the leading one, while the principles of semantic and intonation act as additional ones, although in certain specific manifestations they can be brought to the fore. As for the history of punctuation, it is known that the initial basis for dividing written speech was precisely pauses (intonation).

Modern punctuation represents a new stage in its historical development, and the stage characterizing a higher level. Modern punctuation reflects structure, meaning, and intonation. Written speech is organized quite clearly, definitely and at the same time expressively. The greatest achievement of modern punctuation is the fact that all three principles operate in it not separately, but in unity. As a rule, the intonation principle is reduced to the semantic, the semantic to the structural, or, conversely, the structure of a sentence is determined by its meaning. It is possible to single out individual principles only conditionally. In most cases, they act inseparably, although in compliance with a certain hierarchy. For example, a period also marks the end of a sentence, the boundary between two sentences (structure); and lowering of voice, long pause (intonation); and completeness of the message (meaning).

It is the combination of principles that is an indicator of the development of modern Russian punctuation, its flexibility, which allows it to reflect the subtlest shades of meaning and structural diversity.

And everything connected with it is studied in the school Russian language course, and is also included in the examination paper.

Options for subordinating dependent parts ( consistent submission subordinate clauses, including) will be discussed below.

Complex sentence: types of subordinate clauses

A complex sentence is a sentence where there are two or more grammatical stems, one of which is the main one, the rest are dependent. For example, the fire went out(main part), when morning came(dependent part). Subordinate, or dependent, clauses can be different types, it all depends on the question that is asked from the main clause to the dependent one. Yes, when asked Which the dependent part is considered definitive: the forest (which one?) in which we walked has thinned out. If a question of circumstance is attached to the dependent part, then the subordinate part is defined as adverbial. Finally, if the question to the dependent part is one of the questions of indirect cases, then the subordinate clause is called explanatory.

Complex sentence: several subordinate clauses

Often in texts and exercises there are several subordinate clauses. At the same time, not only the subordinate clauses themselves can be different, but also the way they are subordinated to the main sentence or to each other.

Method of submission subordinate clauses
NameDescriptionExample
Parallel subordinationThe main clause includes dependent parts of different types.When the ice broke, fishing began, which the men had been waiting for all winter.(Main sentence: fishing began. First adverbial clause: started (when?); second clause attribute: fishing (what kind?).
Homogeneous SubordinationThe main clause includes dependent parts of the same type.Everyone knows how BAM was built and how dearly the people paid for it.(Main sentence: everybody knows. It includes both subordinate explanatory clauses: how BAM was built And how dearly the people paid for it. Subordinate clauses are homogeneous, since they refer to a single word - it is known one question is asked to them: it is known that?)
Consistent submissionThe main clause includes one subordinate clause, on which other subordinate clauses depend.He guessed that they didn't like the movie they saw.(From main sentence he guessed one clause depends: that they didn't like the film. Another thing depends on the subordinate clause related to the main clause: which they watched.

Determining parallel, homogeneous, sequential subordination of subordinate clauses is a task that causes difficulties for students. When solving this question, you must first find the main sentence, and then, by asking questions from it, determine the nature of the subordination.

Subordination and sequential subordination

In complex sentences, in which there are several predicative stems, there may be subordination of subordinate clauses. Subordinate clauses are subordinate clauses that depend on a single main clause. Consecutive subordination is different from subordination. The fact is that in complex sentences with sequential subordination, not all subordinate clauses depend on the main clause, that is, there is no subordination in them.

It is not an easy task to determine the types of subordinate clauses, especially in sentences with sequential subordination. The question is how to find consistent subordination of subordinate clauses.

  • Read the proposal carefully.
  • Highlight grammatical basics.
  • Determine whether the sentence is complex. In other words, find out whether there is a main and dependent parts, or whether the parts of a complex sentence are equal.
  • Identify subordinate clauses that relate directly to the main clause.
  • The subordinate part, which is not related in meaning to the main sentence, will refer to another part, dependent on the main sentence. This is the sequential subordination of subordinate clauses.

By following this algorithm, you can quickly find the sentence specified in the task.

The main thing is to know the answer to the question, sequential subordination of subordinate clauses - what is it? This is a complex sentence, where a subordinate clause depends on the main clause, which is the main one for another subordinate clause.

Sentence structure with sequential subordination of subordinate clauses

The most interesting structurally is a complex sentence with sequential subordination of subordinate clauses. A chain of interdependent clauses can be located both outside the main clause and inside it.

The day they spent in a sunny city where there are many historical monuments, remembered by them forever.

Here is the main offer they will remember the day forever encircles subordinate clauses connected to each other. The subordinate clause depends on the main clause which they spent in the sunny city. This subordinate clause is the main one for the subordinate clause where there are many historical monuments. Therefore, this is a sequential subordination of clauses. In another sentence He saw the owner scolding his cat for catching a chicken the main clause is located outside the subordinate clauses.

Examples of sequential subordination of subordinate clauses

Consistent subordination of subordinate parts is used as in colloquial speech, and in writing. Such sentences are found in works fiction. For example, A.S. Pushkin: Natalya Gavrilovna was famous at the assemblies for being the best dancer, which was... the reason for the misconduct of Korsakov, who the next day came to apologize to Gavrilo Afanasyevich; at L.N. Tolstoy: I remembered how once he thought that his husband had found out and was preparing for a duel... in which he intended to shoot into the air; from I.A Bunin: And when I looked up, it seemed to me again... that this silence was a mystery, part of what is beyond the knowable.

Connecting sentences using subordinating conjunctions or allied (relative) words. Makar had not noticed before that it seemed to be dawning on the plain (Korolenko).

Since they are different, then this is parallel subordination. Are questions posed to subordinate clauses from one sentence or from different ones? Among the 712 sentences, find a COMPLEX SENTENCE with homogeneous subordinate clauses (7) The artist, who appears on stage, himself becomes a working instrument. Among sentences 6 7, find a complex sentence with serial communication. Find SPPs with sequential subordination of subordinate clauses 1. The whole difficulty is that the grain appears and that it falls into favorable conditions.

Complex sentence

An IPP is a sentence, the parts of which are connected by subordinating conjunctions. Subordinating conjunctions - what, because, if, although, so that, how, when, in order to, since and many others. The SPP with a comma at the junction of 2 conjunctions has a sequential subordination. From the main clause to the subordinate clause we always give a question. 3. The subordinate clause is always separated from the main clause by commas.

Combined submission. Homogeneous subordinate clauses, like homogeneous members, have the same meaning, answer the same question, and depend on the same word in the main clause. It should be borne in mind that with a homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses, it is possible to omit a conjunction or conjunction in the second (third) subordinate clause.

1. Determine the type of sentence according to the purpose of the statement (narrative, interrogative, incentive). 2. Indicate the type of sentence based on emotional coloring (exclamatory or non-exclamatory).

Complex sentences with a complex structure

Much more often in texts there are sentences of three or more parts in which several subordinate clauses are used. We use arrows to show where exactly we are asking the question to the subordinate clause (from the end of the previous part, from the beginning or from the middle). From this diagram it is clear that the second part breaks the first, since the question is asked from the middle of the main sentence. In this example, the homogeneity of the parts is established simply: between them there is the union AND, while in both parts the union HOW is repeated. Pay attention to punctuation with homogeneous clauses. In previous sentences, subordinate clauses were joined using the same conjunctions.

And on this day, when the count had already left, Alexander tried to find a moment to talk with Nadenka alone (A. Goncharov). Having said hello, dad said that he would beat us up in the village, that we had stopped being little and that it was time for us to study seriously (L.N. Tolstoy).

It consists of three ordinary sentences: the 1st is the main one, the others are additional clauses. In this sentence there is a combination of subordinating conjunctions at the junction of sentences 2 and 3 (which is the case). In addition, the coordinating conjunction a, which refers to sentence 6, comes before sentence 5, forming a combination of conjunctions with the subordinating conjunction in that case (and in that case). By general rules they must be separated by commas, but what follows is the 2nd part of the double conjunction in that case... What are the rules for placing punctuation symbols in complex sentence? What are the conditions for the inevitable division of a compound conjunction in a complex sentence? Where can I find exercises on the topic “Complex sentences”?

Read the sentence carefully, identify the grammatical basics in it and indicate the boundaries of the predicative parts (simple sentences). Establish semantic connections between parts: to do this, first find the main one, then ask question(s) from it to the subordinate clause(s). 2. The sentence consists of five parts, connected using a homogeneous subordination of subordinate clauses. 13. Analyze complex polynomial sentences with subordinating connections. I'm trying to instill a love for complex sentences and children. I say that you can give one sentence for analysis and understand how well the student knows Syntax.

First, let's practice drawing up IPS diagrams with one subordinate clause. The prefixes in the word “position” already contain an indication of the place of the subordinate clause in the sentence. Let us explain that complex sentences in the text can have various cases of complications, and if you do not recognize them, you may get confused, so we will explain these complications in each example. If there were more than two subordinate clauses with a similar structure, then one of the LI conjunctions would be omitted to avoid repetition. Why? Because, perhaps, these people were close to her, from the same circle as her... And Vorotov felt a terrible gap between himself and this circle. Four books have already been translated, but Vorotov knows nothing except the word “memoires,” and when he is asked about his scientific work, he waves his hand and, without answering the question, starts talking about the weather.

You will learn about all this in the lesson. Exercises, tests and simulators must be completed not only in order to master the topic, but also as a means of repeating the “Complex Sentence” section. We ask a question from the main part: sad to think about what? that youth was given to us in vain. The 1st subordinate clause is explanatory. One more question from the main one: what kind of thirst? which burns me – adjective attribute. But we are already asking the question from the subordinate measure and degree. We ask questions: which one? who in his youth did not bind himself by strong ties to an external and beautiful cause, or at least to an honest and useful work– subordinate pronominal attributive. The next question: can he consider his youth lost without a trace, no matter what? no matter how merrily she passed - a subordinate clause of concession.

The branch of science about our language devoted to the structure of sentences is fraught with a lot of interesting things, and syntactic parsing can become exciting activity for those who are well versed in the rules of the Russian language. Today we will touch on the syntax and punctuation of a complex sentence, in particular the case when there is not one subordinate clause, but several. What types of subordination are there and why is a sentence with parallel subordination of subordinate clauses interesting? First things first.

Complex sentence and its parts

A complex sentence (S/P) is a complex sentence in which one can distinguish main part(she carries the main semantic load) and subordinate clause (it is dependent on the main part, you can ask a question about it). There can be two or more subordinate parts, and they can be attached to the main, main part in different ways. There are sequential, homogeneous, heterogeneous, parallel subordination of subordinate clauses. To find out the type of subordination, you need to pay attention to whether the dependent parts answer the same question or to different ones, whether they refer to the same word in the main part or to different ones. We will consider the material in more detail in the next section.

Types of subordination of subordinate clauses

So, there are four types of subordination.

  • Sequential subordination - subordinate parts depend sequentially on each other, and one of them depends on the main one. I know (about what?), what to do (for what?) to get to (where?) where I need to go.
  • Homogeneous - subordinate clauses answer the same question and refer to the same word. I asked (about what?) what time it was, where we were and how to get to the airport. This sentence has three subordinate (dependent) parts, all of them relate to the word “asked” and answer the question “about what?”
  • Heterogeneous subordination - subordinate clauses also refer to the same word, but different questions are asked to them. I have to go to this city (why should I?) to accomplish everything I have planned, (why should I?) because there are a lot of things to do.
  • Parallel subordination of subordinate clauses - dependent parts refer to different words of the main sentence and answer completely different questions. (For what?) To catch the train, I have to leave home early for the train station (which one?), which is located in another part of the city.

Parallel subordination of subordinate clauses

We found out what is the difference between different types of submission. By the way, in some sources, heterogeneous parallel subordination of subordinate clauses is distinguished as one type. This occurs because in both cases the questions to the dependent parts are posed differently.

If the sentence is complex with parallel subordination of subordinate clauses, then most often one dependent part is located before the main one, and the second - after.
You need to highlight the main, main part of the sentence, determine the number of subordinate clauses and ask questions about them. Only in this way will we be convinced that what we have before us is truly a parallel subordination of subordinate clauses. If the questions are different, and we will ask them from different words, which means that the subordination is truly parallel. When I went outside, I suddenly remembered that a long time ago I was going to visit my friend. In this sentence from the predicate of the main part "remembered" we ask a question "When?" to the first subordinate clause, and from the complement "About" ask a question "about what?"to the second. This means that in this case a parallel method of subordination is used.

It is necessary to be able to determine the boundaries of the parts of a sentence and correctly ask questions from the main part in order not to make mistakes when placing punctuation marks. We remember that subordinate clauses are separated from the main clause by commas, which are placed before the conjunction or allied word connecting the parts of a complex sentence.

Let's sum it up

Parallel subordination of subordinate clauses is one of four types of subordination in the Russian language. To determine the type of subordination, you need to select simple sentences as part of a complex subordination, determine the main part and ask questions from it to the dependent ones. If the question is the same, then this is homogeneous subordination, if different from the same word - heterogeneous, if unequal questions from different words - parallel, and if the question can be asked only to one subordinate clause, and from it to another, and so on, then What we have before us is consistent subordination.

Be literate!

In this type of SPP, simple sentences form a kind of chain: From the main sentence we ask the question of the 2nd subordinate clause, from the second we ask the question of the 3rd.

In the following examples, questions to the next clause will be placed in brackets.

And Nikolai went to work (why?) so that no one would say that he didn’t like his job (which one?), which he really didn’t like.

The SPP with a comma at the junction of 2 conjunctions has a sequential subordination.

He said that when father comes, we will go to the park. (The proposal is discussed below.)

Analysis: He said (what?) -> let's go to the park (when?) -> when father comes.

Non-union proposal

Non-union complex sentences

Non-union complex sentence- this is a complex sentence in which simple sentences are combined into one whole in meaning and intonation, without the help of conjunctions or allied words: [Habit from above to us given]: [replacement happiness she](A. Pushkin).

Semantic relations between simple sentences in conjunctions and non-union complex sentences are expressed differently. In allied sentences, conjunctions take part in their expression, so the semantic relationships here are more definite and clear. For example, union So expresses the consequence because- the reason, If- condition, however- opposition, etc.

Types of complex non-union sentences.

The most widespread classification of types of non-union proposals is according to lexical meaning. In accordance with this, the following SBP are distinguished:

- explanatory SBP:

Something incomprehensible was happening on the street: suddenly an incredible noise was heard.

- SBP with sequence value:

The spring sun peeked out from behind the clouds and it quickly became warmer.

- additional SBP:

He decided to go to work: he needed to go in place of his sick partner.

- SBP with condition value:

When I return home, I’ll kick everyone out.

- SBP with reason value:

There was the sound of the door opening: Vika had returned from school.

- SBP with time value:

The sun rose and the birds chirped happily.

- SBP with mapping value:

Time for business - time for fun.

- SBP with the meaning of the consequence:

The TV is broken: there was a power surge.

Direct speech and its presentation in writing.

Formatting direct speech

1. Direct speech must be highlighted in quotation marks.

3. If direct speech precedes the words of the author, then a comma and a dash should be placed after it. If direct speech contains an exclamation or question, then it should be followed by a question or exclamation mark and a dash. In all cases, the author’s words should begin with capital letters. Sentences with direct speech:

“I won’t give you to anyone,” Anton whispered excitedly.

"Who's there?" – Pashka asked in fear.

"Let's run quickly!" - Seryozha shouted.

2. If you are supposed to put a dot at the place where direct speech breaks, then after direct speech you need to put a comma and a dash, and after the author’s words - a dot and a dash. In this case, the second part should be written with a capital letter. The format of direct speech in this case looks like this.
