THE SENTENCE AS A LANGUAGE UNIT
ITS FUNDUMENTAL PROPERTIES
o The sentence is a structural and semantic unity and unit which names a real

o The sentence is the primary unit of Syntax, as:
1) it is the minimal communicative language unit which expresses a ‘com-
plete thought’, i.e. a complete description of an event or state of affairs;

all the other language units – phonemes, morphemes, words and phrases –
is structural, i.e. to build a sentence);
3) the whole range of language phenomena – from intonation patterns to se-
mantics and pragmatics – can be realised on the sentence level.
o The sentence vs. the utterance = the potential language unit vs. the actualised
speech unit.
o The sentence is the most complex language unit that consists of a number of
elements connected by different types of syntactic and semantic relations. It can
be studied in a number of aspects, the major of which are three – structural
