56. Comment on the type of the subject.

The subject is one of the two main parts of the sentence 1)It denotes the thing whose action or characteristic is expressed by the predicate, 2)It is not dependent on any other part of the sentence , 3) It may be expressed by different parts of speech, the most frequent ones being: a noun in common case , a demonstrative pronoun occasionally, a personal pronoun in the nominative case, a substantivized adjective , a numeral, an infinitive, and a gerund. It may also be expressed by a phrase.

57. Comment on the type of adverbial modifier.

There are several ways of classifying adverbial modifiers:

1)according to their meaning-is not in itself a grammatical classification. For instance , the difference between an adverbial modifier of place and one of time is basically semantic and depends on the lexical meaning of the words functioning as adverbial modifier.this type of classification a list of all possible meanings they can have , is impossible to achieve , and it would serve no useful purpose. A certain number of meanings can be found quite easily, such as place , time , condition , manner of an action, degree of a property , etc.

2) according to their morphological peculiarities-i.e. according to the parts of speech and to phrase patterns , is essential: it has also something to do with word order , and stands in a certain relation to the classification according to meaning.

3)according to the type of their head word-it is connected with the classification according to meaning; for instance an adverbial modifier can modify a part of the sentence expressed by a verb only if the type of meaning of the word acting as modifier is compatible with the meaning of a verb, etc.

58. Main peculiarities of the phrase.

Phrase is every combination of two or more words which is a grammatical unit but is not an analytical form of some word. The constituent elements of phrase may belong to any part of speech . For instance ,they may both be nouns , or one of them may be an adjective and the other a noun , or one may be a preposition and the other a noun , or there may be three of them , one being a preposition , the other a noun , and the third a preposition. The difference a phrase and a sentence is a fundamental one. A phrase is a means of naming some phenomena or process, just as a word is. Each component of a phrase can undergo grammatical changes in in accordance with grammatical categories represented in it, without destroying the identity of the phrase. it must be borne in mind that a phrase as such has no intonation, just as a word has none. it is to the phrase level that the syntactical notions of agreement and government apply. In studying phrases from a grammatical viewpoint we will divide them according to their function in the sentence into 1)those which perform the function of one or more parts of the sentence for example predicate and object, or predicate ands adverbial modifier etc. 2)those which do not perform any such function but whose function is equivalent to that of a preposition, or conjunction, and which are to all intens and purposes equivalents of those parts of speech.
