9.1. The Composite sentence: its general characteristics. The notion of the invariant composite sentence. The main principals of composite sentence classifying.

CRITERIA	COMPOSITE	SIMPLE
predicative lines	more than one	one
predicative function	polypredicative	predicative
nominative function	reflection of two or more elementary situational events viewed as making up a unity; The connections between the situations are presented through semantico-syntactical connections between the clauses of the composite sentence.	reflection of the situation
syntax level	Highest	central
formation	Derivative	Initial
structure	clauses a clause as part of a composite sentence corresponds to a separate sentence as part of a contextual sequence	NP // VP
Types of construction	hypotaxis (subordination) parataxis (coordination)	not presented
Types of clause connection	syndetic( conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs) asyndetic	not presented
the degree of the predicative explicitness(composite sentences)	Of complete composition (compound, complex) of concise composition (semi- compound, semi-complex)	Not presented

The composite sentence is built according to the certain model or structural scheme. The basis of this scheme is made by the set of constant elements united by a certain connection. These elements taken in their syntactic connections are to form the invariant of the composite sentence. Thу invariant of the composite sentence was defined by T.P. Lomtev as its model.

The main principals while composite sentence classifying:

· according to the existing two types of syntactic connections(the compound and the complex sentences).

· according to the degree of the predicative explicitness they distinguish composite sentences of complete composition (the compound and the complex sentences), and composite sentences of concise composition (semi-compound and semi-complex sentences)
