THE WORD-GROUP (I)THE WORD-GROUP (I)

The word-group in both languages consists of two or more grammatically connected notional parts of speech expressing some content. Word-groups in English and Ukrainian may be free or idiomatically bound.

THE WORD-GROUP (II)THE WORD-GROUP (II)

The elements of notional word-groups can be joined either syndetically by means of prepositions or conjunctions (books for reading, читати по черзі) or asyndetically by means of intonation (easy-reading books, писати швидко). English has a greater asyndetic potential if compared with Ukrainian because of its analytical character.

SYNTAGMATIC GROUPINGSSYNTAGMATIC GROUPINGS

syntagmatic groupings of notional words alone (interesting book, цікава книга),

syntagmatic groupings of notional words with functional words (to get rid of sth, зважати на щось),

syntagmatic groupings of functional words alone (up to, тому що).

The links between the elements of The links between the elements of a word-groupa word-group

predicative, uniting the subject and the predicate. Such word-groups (I go, Ми читаємо) build up the basis of a sentence;

we observe objective connections in see a book, малювати картину;

attributive connection unites a substance with its attribute expressed by an adjective or a noun (a puny creature, цікава новина);

adverbial connection is subdivided into primary and secondary.

Adverbial connectionsAdverbial connections

The primary adverbial connection is established between the verb and its adverbial modifiers of various standings (to talk seriously, to get with happiness, говорити голосно, йти з радістю).

The secondary adverbial connection is established between the non-verbal kernel expressing a quality and its adverbial modifiers of various standings (wonderfully interesting, very much at ease, дуже весело).

THE STRUCTURAL FORMS OF THE STRUCTURAL FORMS OF WORD-GROUPS (I)WORD-GROUPS (I)

simple, or elemental word-groups which consist of two components connected with the help of one grammatical means (synthetic or analytical): this book, to see her, cotton shirt; ці книжки, гарно читати, зайти у фойє.

complicated, i. e. with two ways of grammatical connection: writing and reading letters, to see Mike driving a car, довгі речення для тебе для аналізу.

The elements of the first class are joined either syndetically (pens and pencils, газети та журнали) or asyndetically (read, translate, learn; їсти, пити, спати). They are treated open.

SUBORDINATE WORD-SUBORDINATE WORD-GROUPS (I)GROUPS (I)

They consist of a head component, which is the nucleus of a word-group, and one of more adjuncts \ complements \ subordinate elements and are treated closed (small children, to love her, very nice, we all, two of the guys, well enough, afraid to answer, гра акторів, вартий нагороди, дехто з учнів, мало часу, дуже весело, легко на душі).

Agreementthe subordinate element gets the same grammatical meaning as the kernel one (this book, велике щастя).

Adjoinmentthe elements are joined without changing their forms (to go quickly, можливість аналізувати).

Governmentthe grammatical meaning of the kernel element demands from the subordinate one particular form (to be fond of sth, читаю роман).

TYPOLOGY OF THE SENTENCE TYPOLOGY OF THE SENTENCE IN ENGLISH AND UKRAINIANIN ENGLISH AND UKRAINIAN

THE SENTENCETHE SENTENCE

Any coherent connection of words according to a definite syntactic pattern with some communicative purpose related to reality is considered to be a sentence. It is the main communicative language unit.

Features of the sentence

communicativeness

modalitypredicativity

FEATURES OF THE SENTENCE FEATURES OF THE SENTENCE (II)(II)

The sentence is aimed at rendering some information. Such information exchange proves the role of communication as one of sentence indicators.

Predication establishes a certain grammatical combination of words. Sentence semantics presents the unity of nominative and predicative aspects.

Modality is the ground for expressing the speaker’s attitude towards the content of an utterance.

According to the aim of According to the aim of communication sentences fall intocommunication sentences fall into:

declarative,interrogative,imperative,exclamatory.

Declarative sentencesDeclarative sentences

They split into affirmative and negative statements of real, wishful and conditional modality (The door opened. He made no remark. Раптом вона заплакала. Він не заперечував цього). If negation stands in front of the predicate it bears the general meaning of negation (She doesn’t want to leave. Він не прийшов на зустріч). Though certain elements of a sentence may be negated as well (She studies not at the University. Він навчається не в Києві). Mind that English has no double negation: She never admitted her mistakes. Вона ніколи не визнавала своїх помилок.

Interrogative sentences (I)Interrogative sentences (I)

They possess a common communicative function and the corresponding kinds: general questions in English start with an auxiliary, modal or linking verb followed by the subject, whereas in Ukrainian – with any part of the sentence (Did you do that? Ти це зробив?). Structural identity is observed in disjunctive\tag-questions consisting of an affirmative or negative statement followed respectively by a negative and affirmative question-tag (She is fond of music, isn’t she? Ти боїшся, чи не так?).

Interrogative sentences (II)Interrogative sentences (II)

Alternative questions are characterized in both languages by isomorphic features. The beginning of these sentences presents a general question (Is it a pen or a pencil? Ви любите кіно або театр?). Special questions are opened with an interrogative pronoun or adverb, which may be proceeded by prepositions, particles or interjections (What did you do yesterday? Що вона зробила?).

Interrogative sentences (III)Interrogative sentences (III)

Allomorphic is the use of prepositions in the final position in English (What do you depend upon?). Rhetorical questions have a modal meaning, which does not contain any new information for a speaker. So they need no answers (Who should I blame? Невже ти цього не чув?).

Imperative sentencesImperative sentences

They express demands, orders, commands, requests, warnings, prohibition, persuasion, etc. (Go to the classroom! Говори правду!).

Exclamatory sentencesExclamatory sentences

They express exclamation (How wonderful it was! Як гарно!).

STRUCTURAL TYPES OF STRUCTURAL TYPES OF SENTENCESSENTENCES

one-member sentences;

two-member sentences.

nominative (Night. Measure for Measure. Темнота та тиша. Чудовий сон!);

ONE-MEMBER SENTENCES ONE-MEMBER SENTENCES IN UKRAINIAN (I)IN UKRAINIAN (I)

indefinite personal, where the doer of an action is not identified (Нам подали на стіл обід). In English the predicate in the sentences conveying the same idea is expressed in the Passive Voice form (We were served coffee);

generalized personal, where any person may be the doer of the action (Хліб сіль їж, а правду ріж. Працювали весь день). In the English equivalent sentences the subject may be expressed by one, we, you (One can enjoy the show. You can’t be happy about it);

impersonal, where the doer of an action can’t be reconstructed (Завечоріло. Прохолодно. Мені боляче. На столі олівці). In the corresponding English sentences most often we use the formal subject It / There, or change the structure of the sentence (Twilight set in. It is getting cold. It gives me much pain. There are pencils on the table).

predicative link between the subject and the predicate (She is in the garden. Він сьогодні не пішов у гості).

composite It can have more than

one link of such a kind. Hence, it contains two clauses.

COMPOSITE SENTENCESCOMPOSITE SENTENCES

compound complex

COMPOUND SENTENCESCOMPOUND SENTENCES

If the links between clauses are coordinate, we deal with a compound sentence. Clauses may be joined by means of copulative and adversative conjunctions, or asyndetically in both languages (Вона не хотіла йти на концерт, але ми її умовили. He was very excited and his friends were excited as well). In English the causal conjunction for unites coordinate clauses (She came in time for we used to ask her about it not once).

COMPLEX SENTENCES (I)COMPLEX SENTENCES (I)

If one of the clauses in a composite sentence governs another one, they are linked subordinately. Such a sentence is called complex. Depending upon the function of a subordinate clause in the whole sentence, clauses fall into:

subject (What was important for him was absolutely necessary for us. Хто чесно бореться, (той) завжди перемагає);

predicative (She was as if frightened to death. Вона не така, щоб нічого не робити по дому);

COMPLEX SENTENCES (II)COMPLEX SENTENCES (II)
