Subordination
Subordination sentence building is allowing on clause to become a grammatical part of another clause, but where one is the subordinate, so it hold less value. Complex Sentences are those which have at least one subordinate clause Other Names: subordinate clause, main clause, matrix clause, or independent clause. Opposite: Embedded sentence or dependent clause, which cannot stand alone. Adverbial Clauses are subordinating clauses that use different types of constituents that act as adverbial functions, mainly to describe or modify a verb. Noun Clauses perform some of what a noun phrase does, but not all. They only act as the subject, direct objects, or complement noun clauses. *They can become extraposed subject noun clauses if the subject noun clause is moved in the sentence, but it's function doesn't change. | Relative Clauses help to describe or identify a noun phrase, it occurs when an entire clause performs the adjectival function. There are two different types of relative clauses, restricted and nonrestricted relative clauses. Restrictive are so labeled because they restrict the noun phrase so that they are easier to identify. They can not be removed from the sentence or the meaning is then changed. Also, they do not include commas Nonrestrictive include commas, and can be removed from the sentence and keep the meaning the same because they just provide extra information about the noun clause. Reduced Relative Clauses are reduced in two different ways, the relative pronoun may be omitted or Whiz-deletion. Whiz Deletion is where you remove "who is" from the sentence. Compound-complex sentence must include both a combined clause by coordination and a combined clause by subordination. |
