Study of Formal-Syntax Structure of a Sentence: Syntactic Connections

Abstract

The article deals features of studying
syntactic connections, on the basis of which we determine the formal-syntactic
structure of sentence units. The main problem of studying syntactic connections is
clarified: 1) the difference between syntactic connections and semantic-syntactic
relations; 2) differential features of syntactic connections; 3) predicative connection
as the main type of syntactic connection; 4) signs of subordination connection in
simple and complex sentences; 5) connection of word, determinant and indirect
connections as types of subordination connection in a simple sentence; 6) signs of
compound connection; 7) features of undifferentiated and double syntactic connections.
To determine the components of a sentence, it is important to distinguish between
syntactic connections and semantic-syntactic relations. The syntactic specificity of the
relations between the members of the sentence on the basis of the separation of their
differential features is characterized. The direction of formal-syntactic dependence
(interdependence, unidirectional dependence and absence of dependence) is the main
differential feature of delimitation of basic syntactic connections. Peculiarities of predicative connection formation are traced; the subordination connection is analyzed
and its varieties are systematized: word’s connections, determinant and indirect
connections; the specifics of compound connection is established; undifferentiated
syntactic connection is characterized; the double syntactic connection is analyzed.
Syntactic connections are important for determining the components of a sentence
and understanding their grammatical expression.
