FEATURES OF FUNCTIONING OF MIDDLE COMPONENTS IN CONNECTING STRUCTURES

Abstract

The research of problems of semantics in modern linguistics constantly attracts the attention of linguists, in particular to the questions of expressive syntax.  In modern Ukrainian linguistics the problem of isolation and qualification of joining constructions remains.  In linguistic literature, there is a lack of formal criteria for the delineation of the phenomena of parceling and joining, which leads to the identification of these concepts.  The long discussions surrounding the nature of the connecting structures caused some discrepancies in their syntactic characteristics.  Such structures are analyzed mainly on the material of artistic and journalistic texts; in texts of confessional style, the nature of such sentences was not explored.

 In linguistics, two terms are used simultaneously – «joining structure».  Some linguists treat any dismemberment of the syntactic structure as a «parsed structure», other such sentences are traditionally called as joining, and parselling as a phenomenon of expressive syntax is identified or viewed within the framework of attachment.

In Ukrainian studies, two different approaches prevailed in interpreting this phenomenon of language:

1. Connection is considered to be a special kind of syntactic connection, when two syntactical units relate on the basis of the semantic-grammatical independence of the reference sentence and semantic and grammatical attraction to it of the connecting structure .
2. Joining is a «semantic-grammatical category that has its own semantics (value of additional message) and its own grammatical form of expression of this semantics (special conjunctions, connecting words)».

Supporting the views of K. Gorodenska, A. Zagnutka, N. Ivkova, V. Bogatko, L. Konyukhova and others.  Ukrainian linguists, we believe that the joining structure clarifies, specifies, details or denotes one or more elements of the main sentence.  The implementation of the semantic-syntactic connecting connection is carried out with the help of proper joining compounds, the isolation of which is associated with the distinction between the six types of semantic-syntactic relations, which transmit arbitrary connections.  Means of expression of connecting semantic-syntactic relations can also act as arbitrary connectives of connecting and opposing semantics. For connects  the connecting semantic-syntactic relations are transpositions. Connective constructions with arbitrary connectives of connecting and opposing semantics are increasingly used in texts of confessional style to enhance language expression.  This is completed in terms of content and grammatical expression.  In direct language, such structures clearly demonstrate the process of sentence division.  Joining expands syntactical, stylistic, and informational capabilities of complex syntactic structures. The most active are connecting educations with conjunctions but.  The joining structures with connectors and, yes, are less active.  Irregularly, we consider joining sentences with conjunction however.
