Classification of complex sentences according to the closeness of the connection
Pr.Bloch
introduced the terms monolithic and segregative sentence structures.
Monolith complex sentences are sentences with a clause of deployment
of obligatory type. Monolith complex sentences can be of 4 subtypes:
Merger
complex sentences with subject and predicative clauses;
Valiancy
monolith complexes with object clauses and valiancy determined
adverbial clauses. (for
ex:
I don’t know when I’ll go. 2. Put the book where you have taken
it from. (place)
Correlation
monolith complexes based on subordinative correlations. In some
books they are called clauses of proportion and preference. (for
ex: The
more I think of her, the more I fell in love with her.)
Arrangement
monolith complexes formed by constructions whose obligatory
connection between the principle and subordinate clauses is
determined by the order of the clauses. (for
ex:
If he comes, tell him to wait.)
The rest of
complex sentences are characterized by segregative structures. And
the maximum degree of syntactic option is characteristic of
subordinative parenthetical connections.
