Practical Tasks
I. Identify the type of syntactic relations between the phrase components,
distinguishing coordinate phrases: syndetic or asyndetic, subordinate
phrases: bilateral or monolateral (objective: non-prepositional or
prepositional, direct or indirect; attributive; adverbial):
older and wiser and better he’s gone
a careful observer simple if interesting
an observer, seemingly careful he will come back
remember him to be or not to be
the nation’s wealth for me to read
to go in great happiness his playing the music
swimming, jogging, skating deeply hurt
stand the noise the case for examination
a woman of fashion an acute problem
very much at ease seemingly frivolous
agreed, but reluctantly run like a tiger
lie beside the chair turn abruptly
work on the problem show me the picture
(be) obsessed by a demon (be) full of spite
II. Analyze the following subordinate phrases according to:
types of subordinative relations;
the position of the adjunct in the phrases (prepositional or postpositional);
manner of subordination;
the morphological nature of the kernel:
these rules done by his cousin repeat with the insistence he has gone
the utmost assurance his habit
in a loud voice strikingly alike
old houses join in the chase
scraped her knee one of the children
such-like privileged intention of doing smth.
