Understanding Relations Between Propositions in Language
Relations Between Propositions: Coordination, Subordination, and Juxtaposition composed prayer consists of more than one verb. If there are four verbs, there are four propositions. If there are two verbs, there are two propositions. The conjunction and often joins two sentences that do not depend on each other; we can analyze them as if they were two simple sentences. This is a coordination relationship. If a proposition depends on the other, we will talk about subordination. Both in coordination and in subordination, a link is the contact that expresses the relationship between sentences. This can occur without the presence of a link, separating with commas; this is called juxtaposition. Examples:
- Coordination: Bécquer was reading a poem and played guitar, Gabriel. Separated by the conjunction and, they are united by the bond (y) – Coordination.
- Juxtaposition: Read a poem, Bécquer; Gabriel played guitar. There is no link, but there are sentences separated by a comma.
- Subordination: While he read a poem, Bécquer, Gabriel played guitar. One depends on another, and the first does not make sense without the second sentence.
Conditional Proposition: It makes no sense (as he read a poem, Bécquer). Main Proposition: Complete sense (Gabriel played guitar).
Coordinated Propositions: Links or conjunctions are the conjunctions or conjunctive phrases. Coordinates: Links: and (e), or. Dilemmas: Links: or (u), or. Adversative: Links: but, however, although, rather.
Propositions: Distributive shares that are not mutually exclusive but show correlation between various events (some talked, others listened / yesterday it rained, today it is a radiant sun). One clarifies proposals explaining the meaning of the other (frogs are amphibious animals; that is, they live on land and water).
Subordinate Clauses: Depend on another proposition, the principal, and perform any function under this or complement the proposition. They are classified according to the kind of word that is equivalent. (Subordinate Proposition: “that” bothers me so nervous (substantive proposition) bothers me his nervousness (noun). K Marisol has a friend traveling (adjective). Came when they were about to lay (adverbial). Came then (adverb).
Subordinate Clauses: Are those substantive-k propositions that play the functions of a noun: subject, direct object, complement of the noun (CN). They are introduced by a preposition (you accuse me of arrogance). The main proposition is the rest, which is a subordinate substantive proposition. A substantive is a noun equivalent and performs the function of direct object in the proposition. It undertakes a noun phrase (SN) that we can replace with a neutral pronoun (that was something, it) that will help us define the proposition and determine the syntactic function it plays in the sentence (is something, is that …). According to the link, they can be classified into: Declarative: introduced by the conjunction that (it is true that I never leave my house … -> .. that’s true subject). Indirect Interrogative: can be: Total: if they are introduced by the conjunction if (I wonder if you accuse me of arrogance … -> I wonder what direct object). If they are introduced by the interrogative pronoun when, where (I wonder who comes to see me -> direct object ask me). For No History: introduced by a relative pronoun (whoever) who wants to enter my house can do it -> that person can do it.
+ Preposition – Substantive Proposition: Some functions (CN, CI, CRV) must carry forward the proposition a preposition. (Confident of victory: prep + NP -> function of CRV was confident that the party would win prep + prop repl. -> function that CRV … the link introduces the substantive proposition as it characterizes such is not the preposition in, but that conjunction.
Infinitive Constructions: The infinitive is a verb form that does not equate to a noun and performs functions of this without losing the verbal character. The infinitive has two functions: how to name and how it acts as a verb. Example: (enter my house is very easy) Nominal-Character: fragment in bold can be replaced by a noun phrase (SN) that has the same function in the sentence, the subject: The entrance is very easy. Character: into Verbal form and retains its verbal character that has a full meaning: in my house (CC Place).
Juxtaposed Propositions: Called juxtaposition to the relationship maintained between several proposals if necessary without any link (song, dance, had great fun) – coordination relationship. So serious the previous sentence if coordinated (sing and dance and had fun) – subordinate relationship is too late, I go to sleep (it’s too late, so I’ll go to sleep).
