Abstract

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the syntactic status of complex connecting (accompanying) sentences as dismembered structures that have a specific formal-syntactic and semantic-syntactic organization. It has been found that compound conjunctive (accompanying) sentences have different features, a specific grammatical nature, and therefore deserve their own syntactic status. It was established that ‘adjunction’ is a type of syntactic connection based on the relationship between the semantic-grammatical independence of the main predicative part and the semantic and grammatical attraction of the adjunct to it; the syntactic units analyzed in the research are qualified as sentences of dismembered structure, in which the main part is completely complete structurally and semantically and does not require a dependent predicative part, and the dependent one performs the role of an additional message to what is said in the main part, contains a syntactic indicator of non-independence. It has been established that complex subjunctive connecting (accompanying) sentences are relatively reproductive, since the main part is independent, does not have any constructive indicators, and the subjunctive formally depends on the main one and extends it from the point of view of evaluation, consequence, remarks, etc. The presence in the subjunctive part of a conjunction (what, where, from where, when, how, why, moreover), the content of which is provided only by the main component, and therefore needs it, makes it possible to consider such a connection as a determinant-correlation. It has been proven that connecting relations can be strengthened by causative shades (if the connecting word takes the form from what, for what, because of what) or consequential (if the connecting word takes the form as a result of what). It is generalized that complex connecting (accompanying) sentences are easily transformed into complex, conjunction-less constructions or into simple sentences.
