LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF SYNTAX IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Abstract
Tendency to nominalization: In E. sentence the most important semantic part of a phrase is usually expressed by the nominal part of speech. It is preferable to say ‘he gave the coat a thorough shaking’ instead of ‘he shook the coat thoroughly’. The high frequency of nominal constructions in the predicate makes a supposition that E. is a static language because dynamism is usually expressed through the verbal predicates, which are less popular in E. but nominal predicates sound more idiomatic.
Complex condensation: In modern E. there are complex parts of the syntax consisting of two essential elements. The first one is expressed by a noun or a pronoun (in any case necessary); a non-finite form of a verb expresses the second one.
Key words: Lingustic, Syntax, features, language, predication, representatives, grammatical, stylistic.
