2. composite sentence is built on the principle of coordination Means of coordination: • syndetically • asyndetically

3. The main semantic relations (according to M.Y.Blokh) • copulative, • adversative, • disjunctive, • causal, • consequential, • resultative.

4. "compound sentence" is a fictitious notion developed under the school influence of written presentation of speech • It is a sequence of semantically related independent sentences not separated by full stops in writing

5. Problems of identifying a compound sentence as a separate structural type (according to Ch.Fries): • the possibility of a falling, finalising tone between the coordinated predicative units

6. 2. the existence, in written speech, of independently presented sentences introduced by the same conjunctions as the would-be "clauses" 3. the possibility of a full stop-separation of the said "coordinate clauses" with the preservation of the same semantic relations between them

7. BUT! There’s a substantial semantic-syntactic difference between the compound sentence and the corresponding textual sequence of independent sentences

8. the coordinative syntactic functions in action- different distributions of the expressed ideas is achievedby means of differences in syntactic distributions of predicative units

9. Homer adores doughnuts.

10. Marge can not stand the sight of them

11. Each is convinced of the infallibility of one's artistic judgment. That arouses prolonged arguments.

12. Compare: • Homer adores doughnuts, but Marge can not stand the sight of them. - Each is convinced of the infallibility of one's judgment, and that arouses prolonged arguments. • Homer adores donuts. But Marge can not stand the sight of them, - each is convinced of the infallibility of one's judgment. And that arouses prolonged arguments.

13. The intonation should be taken into account when considering general problems of sentence identification • The speaker has intonation at his disposal as a means of forming sentences, combining sentences, and separating sentences.

14. two or more base sentences which are connected on the principle of coordination either syndetically or asyndetically.

15. by means of combining or non-combining predicative units into a coordinative polypredicative sequence the corresponding closeness or looseness of connections between the reflected events is shown, which is another aspect of coordinative syntactic functions

16. "leading" and "sequential“ clauses

17. The coordinating connectors or coordinators, are divided into conjunctions proper and semi-functional clausal connectors of adverbial character

18. and, but, or, nor, neither, for, either ... or, neither ... nor • The main adverbial coordinators are: then, yet, so, thus, consequently, nevertheless, however
