THE COMPLEX SENTENCE
o The syntactic status of the clauses is not equal ĺ the main / principal clause
and one or more subordinate / dependent clauses which are embedded as part
of the main clause.
o The syntactic relation of subordination between the clauses.
o Subordination can be marked with a linker (subordinator), which occurs in
a fixed position at the front of its clause:

– phrasal: in order that, so far as, as if, in case…;
– paired: as…as, such…as;
b) a relative pronoun (/a connective/ a subordinating conjunctive adverb),
which is part of the clause (= occupies a notional and structural position in
it): who, what, whose, which, why, that, where, when, as…

o The syntactic status of the clauses is not equal � the main / principal clause
and one or more subordinate / dependent clauses which are embedded as part
of the main clause.


o The syntactic relation of subordination between the clauses.


o Subordination can be marked with a linker (subordinator), which occurs in
a fixed position at the front of its clause:


   a) a subordinating conjunction:
   – 1-word: that, because, though, if, before, until, since, who, than…;
   – phrasal: in order that, so far as, as if, in case…;
   – paired: as…as, such…as;


   b) a relative pronoun (/a connective/ a subordinating conjunctive adverb),
   which is part of the clause (= occupies a notional and structural position in
   it): who, what, whose, which, why, that, where, when, as…


o Subordination can be formally unmarked � intonation, punctuation.


o The functional classification of subordinate clauses:
– is based on the functional and semantic correlation between subordinate
clauses and simple sentence constituents (S, Pr, O, A, Attr):
   ��a subject subordinate clause;
   ��a predicative subordinate clause;
   ��an object subordinate clause of the following semantics:
          – substantive,
