For the Study of Some Syntactic Construction in Georgian

Abstract

The article “For the Study of Some Syntactic Constructions in Georgian” discusses the study of “monotactical” and “paratactical” constructions in higher education institutions. In a monotactical construction, we combine simple and monosyllabic sentences (except for compound sentences with homogeneous subjects), while in a paratactical construction, we combine compound and complex compound sentences with homogeneous subjects.

When learning about the nature of predicate constructions, it is especially important to clarify the concepts of "monopredicate" and "polypredicate." Appropriate examples should be contrasted with each other and the propositions of these two constructions should be studied by comparison.

The student should be explained that homogeneously compound and complex compound sentences have much in common structurally. Both types of sentences use connecting conjunctions, and at the same time the sequence patterns of the sentences are identical taking into account the conjunctions. The components of such sentences have a common, shared word (address member), which is repeated or is implied as the same or different members. Based on appropriate examples, the student should be able to explain the function of the address member and determine the relationships of compound and complex sentences based on the relationship of address members and verb-listeners.

 The article also discusses the separation of predicate centers, which have a syntactic construction independent of each other, are connected to each other by coordination and form a parataxis construction.

  Explain to the student that a sentence should be divided according to its structure as follows and indicate the sentence structure scheme established in the special literature:

"I. Monopredicate: monotactical or quantitative;

1. Polypredicate: a) paratactical or co-ordinate;
2. b) hypotactical or subordinate.

      Sentence structure will be considered learned if the student is able to distinguish between monopredicate and polypredicate constructions, distinguish between parataxis and hypotaxis constructions, find a common address member in a parataxis construction, and identify predicate centers.
