Abstract

A complex sentence has its own special formal, semantic, communicative, pragmatic and situational status. As a structural-semantic system unity, it is built on subordination of its predicative components and is based on formal-grammatical unity, semantic independence, communicative-pragmatic orientation and reference-pragmatic correlation. The changes of this syntactic unit are subject to general laws of the evolution of the Spanish language. One of the important factors in the theory of the evolution of the Spanish complex sentence is the transformation of its volume. Changes in the volume of a complex sentence occur in accordance with the general line of changes in the composition of the sentence. The main line of movement is characterized from a simple form through a vague structure to a gradual complication and to clear structure. Sentence as one of the most important informative elements in the process of communication reacted quickly to historical changes in society and to changes in language. In general, a sentence in Spanish undergoes a complex process of transformation from a rather elementary prolatine model with a limited number of word forms due to semantic complication and redundancy in the structure of a multicomponent complex sentence, or so-called polynomial, and to significant formal simplification. The study proved that the sentence structure in Spanish has three main periods in its development from prolatine model in the pre-literary period, through a paratactic polynomial in the donation period and to a hypotactic polynomial model in the national period. As a result, the reduction of sentence contributed to the emergence of various semantic connections between the main and subordinate parts. At each period of the development of a complex sentence was created its own special communicative-pragmatic model and was characterized by general patterns and special features in their structure and functioning The most common polynomials in Spanish were hypotactic, structured on the subordinate connection of sequence, parallelism, homogeneity, which expands its denotative and significant information.
