By the time a frightening cloud with smoking edges appeared from afar and covered the pine forest and the wind blew, Ivan felt that he was exhausted and realizing that he could not cope with the statement he did not begin to lift the scattered sheets and began to cry softly and bitterly.

The good-natured paramedic Praskovya Fyodorovna visited the poet during a thunderstorm and was alarmed seeing that he was crying and closed the curtain so that the lightning would not frighten the patient, lifted the leaves from the floor and ran with them for the doctor. He came and made an injection in Ivan's hand and assured him that he would no longer cry, that now everything would pass, everything would change and everything would be forgotten.

The doctor was right. Soon the forest beyond the river became the same. It loomed to the last tree under the sky, cleared to full blue and the river calmed down. The melancholy began to leave Ivan immediately after the injection and now the poet lay calmly and looked at the rainbow spread across the sky.

This continued until the evening and he did not even notice how the rainbow melted and how the sky became sad and faded, how the forest turned black.

The house of sorrow fell asleep. In the quiet corridors, opaque white lamps went out and instead of them faint blue nightlights were lit and, less and less, the cautious steps of the paramedics were heard outside the doors. (M.A.Bulgakov)

Appendix 2

Main goals Russian language courses in high school are as follows:


  • consolidate and expand students' knowledge of the text, while improving the skills of constructing texts;

  • to ensure further mastery of functional styles of speech with a simultaneous expansion of students' knowledge about styles, their features, rules of use;

  • correctly and deliberately select the necessary language means for the design of the statement;

  • improve what is written;

  • ensure the preparation of students for the tasks of increased difficulty in the USE.

Definition of the topic and main idea

The topic is the subject of speech, what is said in the text, the question that needs to be disclosed in the statement: “Resolution of the topic, the answer to the problem, to the question posed - this is the idea of \u200b\u200bthe work” - this is how N.G. Leontiev

The ability to correctly define a topic and idea is the primary condition for a correct and full understanding of a particular statement. Analyzing the text, highlighting in it various structural elements (paragraphs, sentences, words, word forms), explaining their semantic and emotional function, we understand the ideological content of the text deeper and more fully.

Determining the topic usually does not cause difficulties, but not everyone is able to understand what the author of a particular text wanted to say, so you need to re-read the text several times, remember that the text is characterized by semantic integrity.

Semantic integrity the text consists in the unity of the subject of speech - the theme of the statement. Any text contains information. I.R.Galperin proposes to distinguish two types of information: factual and conceptual.

Actual - description of facts, events, place of action and time of occurrence of this action, reasoning of the author, movement of the plot.

Conceptual - it is an expression of the system of views of the author of the main idea, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe work.

These two kinds of information - what is said and what is said - are called the theme and the main idea.

In some journalistic texts, the main idea can be expressed directly, directly by the author's statement or by a character's remark.

But most often the main idea is not formulated "in black and white", it only follows from the system of images, and in order to understand it, it is necessary not only to "read" into the text; but also analyze it.

The famous writer S. Antonov very accurately revealed the essence of the idea in a work of fiction: “It is clear, of course, that the attitude to the depicted, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe thing is not some kind of appendage that exists besides the image, it is not a comment placed outside brackets or even behind a gilded frame, in the title.

No, the idea of \u200b\u200ba thing lives within the image. If the artist is deeply excited, the idea, the attitude of the creator, his author's commentary inspire the image, penetrate into all the elements, appear in every stroke of the brush, and these strokes will be individual, like fingerprints. "

Keywords.

The integrity of the text implies that the statement should be based on semantic unity, a "semantic program" that can be conveyed through keywords and formulated in an ideological and thematic (content) plan.

IN Gorelov and KF Sedov in the textbook "Fundamentals of Psycholinguistics" highlight some of the defining characteristics of keywords:


  • repeatability in the text;

  • the ability of a sign to fold information expressed in a whole text;

  • correlation of two content levels of the text: actually factual and conceptual.
All these signs are ambiguous, since they are not always present in all keywords at the same time and are not always required at all. In addition, among scientists there is still no common view on the categorical features of keywords.

In school practice, keywords are considered words that have the greatest meaning for the embodiment of the author's thought, determining the semantic and emotional background of the text (i.e., both conceptual-logical and evaluative or expressive words).

Conceptual and logical keywords are associated with the name of the main images, objects (objects, phenomena, actions) or concepts of the text and concisely convey the theme-rhematic (theme - given, rhema - new in a speech situation) movement of objective information in a given text. Such keywords, as noted by many authors, help to more accurately define the topic of the text.

Evaluative or expressive (subjective) keywords express the author's assessment prevailing in the text - sensory (sensory-evaluative), emotional (emotional-evaluative), rational (rational-evaluative). Such keywords are most helpful in understanding the author's position, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe text.

In many texts, especially fictional ones, conceptual-logical and expressive functions are often combined in one word or phrase; therefore, strict delimitation of the named types of keywords is far from necessary and not always available. However, understanding these functions and highlighting them is necessary for a more accurate comprehension of the ideological and thematic grain of the text, its meaningful design.

So, we see that the keywords considered in a certain system really give the key to understanding the text and express its integrity. Therefore, in order to sufficiently comprehend the ideological and thematic grain of the text, it is necessary to learn how to accurately identify the keywords in it. Conversely, to create text, you need to be able to choose appropriate keywords.

N.I. Zhinkin noted: “When understanding a read or heard text, the process starts from the words perceived by the reader or listener; when composing your own text, the process is reversed - from the subject of presentation to the words. "

This means that only thoughtful work with the word, the ability to hear and understand what has been said will reveal to us the full depth and complexity of the author's thought.

Exercise 1.

The land on which we grow up ... forms the basis of all beginnings and all concepts. (What is the main word in the first sentence? Underline it).

Reflecting in this way (not) freely think ... about whether we always (whether) we relate ... cordially to what surrounds us and understand .. what to burn ... (not) always ... (What a new turn in the development of the topic What is the function of the antithesis “always” - not always? ”What authorial feeling does the introductory word express?).

Using speech cliches, formulate the main theme and main idea of \u200b\u200bthis text.

Ways and means of communication of sentences in the text

The connectedness of the text is the third important feature of the text, it is a category that characterizes the peculiarities of the connection within a speech work of its elements; sentences, paragraphs, superphrasal unity, etc.

So the connectedness of the text is the result of the connection of sentences.

Each subsequent sentence repeats part of the information from the previous one and contains a new one.

Duplicate or known information is called theme , new - remy .

New information develops and enriches thought, repetition ensures the coherence of the statement.

The connection of sentences can be sequential, or chain, when new information (rema) of the first sentence becomes a repetition (theme) of the second.

T 2 (\u003d P 1) P 2

T 3 (\u003d P 2) P 3

For instance: ^ I wondered more than once at the shrewd insolence of the crows. They, as it were, jokingly tricked me more than once (A. Platonov).

Along with the sequential one, there is a parallel connection of sentences in the text: the relatively known information of the first sentence passes through a number of others and unites them, being a cross-cutting theme, and a new one arises and develops in parallel to it in the same sentences.

For instance: ^ I love guests. I like to laugh.

I really like to stand behind the car when it snorts, sniff gasoline.

I like a lot of things. (V. Dragunsky)

With parallel communication, sentences (except for the first one) can be swapped, and one of the sentences can even be excluded.

Often, there is no cross-cutting theme when maintaining a parallel connection of sentences. The connection of the text is carried out due to the general task of the utterance. The proposals do not highlight known and new information. Each sentence carries new information, they are combined by word order, the same kind of tense verb forms, and others. This construction of the text is usually used to describe nature.

For instance: The snow was melting all around - amicably, but quietly; water oozed everywhere; a soundless wind roamed in the loose air. The same even, milky color poured over the earth and the sky; there was no fog - but there was no light either.

(I.S. Turgenev)

Means of communication

Linguistic means of connectivity of sentences in the text can be lexical means :

words of one thematic group - Winter ... frost ... snow ... drifts ... frost ...

lexical repetition - Fate Pushkin - and a separatefate andfate folk.

synonyms (including contextual ones) - Pastsailed glades ...Ran away ravines ...

antonyms (including contextual) - ANDwe hate we, andlove we are random. Without sacrificing anything normalice norlove. (M.Lermontov)

descriptive turnover - There was a knock overheadwoodpecker . Forest doctor examined the diseased tree.

morphological agents:

conjunctions, allied words, particles - He said that after the confessions in court, he could not do that. After all, an appeal for pardon requires an admission of guilt. But he does not admit his guilt and cannot write constant words.

pronouns (personal, demonstrative) - ^ Poets like Akhmatova are simply born. They come into the world with an already unique structure of the soul.

adverbs - Today the ring has been broken in many places. Until the forty-first year, it was solid, with three gates (V. Peskov).

the unity of the tense forms of the verb - ^ Suddenly there will be dead silence.

Nothing will knock, nothing will move.

The wind will not move a leaf.

degrees of comparison - Tanyusha was good.

It was not more beautiful in the village.

syntactic means:

word order \u003d intonation - I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about her.

syntactic parallelism - But embers rang in the fireplace.

^ Lights burned out outside the window.

parceling - He has a very memorable face. Thin. Strong-willed. Clever.

incomplete sentences - What we were talking about? About different things.

A special group of linguistic means of communication between parts of the text are clichés ... They are used in particular:


    1. in reasoning about the content of the text:

  1. text ... dedicated to consideration of the issue (problem, topic) ...

  2. the text is written on a current topic ...

  3. the text raises an actual problem ...

  4. the text raises a question (topic, problem) ...

  5. the text sets out the views of the author on ...

  6. the author solves the problem, touches on the problem, talks about ...

  7. the author managed to convince, prove, convincingly show ...

  8. everything in the narration (story, essay) of the author helps to understand (realize, make sure, believe) ...

  9. i would especially like to note (say, emphasize, highlight) ...

  10. finally, one can also note (add, emphasize) ...;

    1. in analysis, linguistic means:

  1. to convince him that he is right, the author uses ...

  2. the text is characterized by the following means of expression ...

  3. in the text the author uses such linguistic means of expression ...;

    1. when expressing your own position and its argumentation:

  1. close to me ( not close) thoughts (position, ideas, beliefs) of the author ...

  2. i share the opinion (position, beliefs, thoughts, ideas) of the author ...

  3. i want to argue with the statement (thought, idea of \u200b\u200bthe author) ...

  4. not in everything, as it seems to me, the author is right ...

  5. i cannot agree with the author in everything ...

  6. despite the persuasiveness of the author's arguments (words, opinions), I cannot agree with him ...

  7. the position (opinion, words) of the author makes one think ...
When working with clichés, it is necessary to emphasize the following:

  • these clichés are semantically empty speech turns, these are bundles that help an inexperienced author to combine sentences into a single speech work; using them at first, it is necessary with the acquisition of experience in writing such texts, if possible, get rid of them or reduce them to a minimum;

  • speech clichés of the third group must be used with introductory constructions (in my opinion, it seems to me, probably, unfortunately, etc.), which make it possible to soften the possible negative attitude of the student to the opinion, the position of the author, to eliminate the incorrect statement of the student in relation to the author of the text.
Training exercises

Exercise 1.

Exercise 3.

Insert the missing letters and place the missing punctuation marks.

One fall I was on a boat ride down the Prorva. It was noon. A low sun hung in the south. His slanting light fell on the dark water and bounced back from it. The streaks of solar reflections from the waves raised by the oars ran rhythmically along the banks, rising from the water and extinguishing in the tops of the trees.

The streaks of light penetrated into the thick of grasses and bushes and for an instant the shores flashed with hundreds of colors, as if a sunbeam was striking the ro (s, ss) spikes of multi-colored ore. The light revealed now black bl .. stalks of grass with dried orange berries, or fiery caps of fly agarics (as if) splashes (n, nn) \u200b\u200bchalked, or ingots of caked oak leaves and red backs of ladybugs.

(K. Paustovsky)


  1. What grammatical means are used to communicate between sentences?

  2. Write down the words of the thematic group shine. What is its role in the text?
Exercise 4.

Find the main point in the text below. Explain why the text is divided into paragraphs (to do this, trace what thought is revealed in each of them). What linguistic means are used to link between paragraphs?

We must protect the language from clogging, remembering that the words we use now - with the addition of a certain number of new ones - will serve for many centuries after us to express ideas and thoughts unknown to us, to create new poetic creations that defy our foresight.

^ And we should be deeply grateful to the previous generations who brought this heritage to us - figurative, capacious, intelligent language.

It already contains all the elements of art: harmonious syntactic architecture, music of the word, and verbal painting.

(S.Ya. Marshak)

Determining the type of text.

At this stage, theoretical material on the definition of types of speech is of particular importance, since students in the middle level of education received a general idea of \u200b\u200bstorytelling, description and reasoning.

The main goal: educational and training exercises to determine the compositional characteristics characteristic of different types of speech - to improve the speech competence of students.

Any text has a composition, i.e. built according to a certain plan-scheme:


    1. Peace at rest

    2. World in motion

    3. The world in causal relationships.
In the first case, the statement is realized in the form of a description, in the second, narration, and in the third, reasoning.

The essence description text lies in the fact that the object (its part or phenomenon) needs to be characterized, reported about its signs. Thus, a description is a verbal depiction of a phenomenon of reality by listing its characteristic features, selected by the author depending on the purpose of the statement (to convey information, convince (dissuade), entertain, etc.). This type of speech serves to recreate the world of objects and establish connections between them.

The development of thought occurs due to the fact that each next sentence adds new signs to what has been said. This is how the description of both animate and inanimate object is constructed.

From the point of view of the object of description, the following types are distinguished: everyday, portrait, interior, landscape, scientific and technical, description of the state of affairs, actions and work processes, terrain, description of a sculptural work or painting, description based on personal impressions, etc.

Razumovskaya has a variety of descriptions:

subject

places

Description of the state of the environment

human condition

Depending on the functional style, there are scientific description-precise, logically consistent; artistic- subjective, lyrical, not always complete; business- precise, dry.

From a linguistic point of view, the differences should be noted:


  1. lexical filling (depending on the genre);

  2. enumeration structure of information presentation;

  3. almost complete lack of dynamics;

  4. an abundance of adjectives of different categories;

  5. use of perfect and imperfective verbs, etc.

In a non-union complex sentence, a dash between parts is usually placed in cases where the main part of the statement (corresponding sometimes to the main part of a complex sentence) is contained in the second part of a complex sentence, and the first part (corresponding to a subordinate clause) has a subordinate meaning, indicating a time or condition committing the action referred to in the second part, sometimes a reason, concession, etc. [For the conditions for setting a colon in a non-union complex sentence, see § 44,]

Wed: Impossible to get out: pouring rain outside- the main content is contained in the first part, in the second the reason is indicated; It's pouring rain outside - it's impossible to get out- the reason is indicated in the first part, in the second there is a consequence, a conclusion, which is the basis of the statement;

The youth left: the evening got bored- ‘I left because: it became boring’; The youth left - it got bored at the evening- ‘Gone, so it got boring’.

With equal semantic relations between the parts of the sentence, they have the meaning of comparison, opposition, etc.

1. In a non-union complex sentence that breaks up into two parts, a dash is placed before the second part, if it contains an unexpected addition, an indication of a quick change of events: A week has passed, another - suddenly a carriage drives into my yard(P.); The cheese fell out - with it there was a cheat(Cr.); Ivan Ivanovich went to the gate, rattled the latch - a dog barking rose from within(G.); Give him only a knife and let him go on the main road - he will stab him, he will stab him for a penny(G.); You walk by a tree - it does not move, it luxuriates (T.); Suddenly men with axes appeared - the forest rang, groaned, cracked(N.); Ignat pulled the trigger - the gun misfired(Ch.); A ray of sun will fall on the grass - the grass will flash with emerald and pearls(M.G.); The wind blew - everything trembled, came to life and laughed(M.G.); The blizzard was already very close to the fire - suddenly a horse neigh resounded in the darkness(F.); Walking along a dead street at noon - you won't meet a person(W); The sun did not have time to warm the earth - the whole sky began to hum(Bub.) [Cf. with the union proposal: Before I had time to pay off my old coachman, Dunya returned with a samovar(P.)].

2. Before the second part of a non-union complex sentence, a dash is put if it expresses opposition in relation to the content of the first part (between the parts you can insert a unionbut or a) : I would be glad to serve - it is sickening to serve(Gr.); Chin followed him - he suddenly left the service (Gr.); Sits down to sew - does not know how to take a needle; she is scolded - she is silent to herself(P.); A week passed, a month - he did not return to his home(P.); I grab the belt - no pistol(L.); I began to call the owner - they are silent; I knock - they are silent(L.); Until ten o'clock we dived through the reeds and through the forest - there is no beast (L.); The oak holds on - the reed has fallen to the ground(Cr.); He painfully ran his eyes along the ceiling, wanted to leave the place, to run - his legs did not obey(Hound.); At that time, you already meet in France a class of people who, with a general loss, gains: the nobility is deprived of rights - they aggravate theirs; the people are dying of hunger - they are full; people arm themselves and go to smash enemies - they profitably supply cloth, food(Hertz.); I have been serving for sixteen years - this has not happened to me(L. T.); Mowed a mile - mowed a penny(M.G.); The Falcon soars up - clinging to the ground(M.G.); Pika took on the embroidery - the threads were tangled and torn; sat down to play checkers - lost (F.); In Andersen's fairy tales, not only flowers, winds, trees acquire the gift of speech - the home world of things and toys comes to life in them.(Paust.); Mishka's bag was not stolen - the last hope was stolen(Nev.); This was not a tired, sick soldier coming from the front - it was a builder(Hump.); He is a guest - I am the host(Bagr.); The battle has not begun by our will - we will end it with our glory(Ac.); Not wounds, not a sick lung tormented him - the consciousness of uselessness irritated him(Paul.); I'm for a candle - a candle in the stove(Chuk.); The brave win, the coward die(Last); Summer in store - winter eats(Last); I was not - I will go; Knock, do not knock - they will not open; Cry, do not cry - you cannot turn back the lost; I will die - I will not say.

3. Before the second part of a non-union complex sentence, a dash is put if it contains a consequence, result or conclusion from what is said in the first part (words can be inserted between the parts therefore, then, etc.): I'm dying - I have nothing to lie to(T.); You will part the wet bush - you will be overwhelmed with the accumulated warm smell of the night(T.); There was no way to leave unnoticed - he went out openly, as if he was going into the yard, and slipped into the garden(F.); I would go to the pilots - let them teach me(M.); Taking matches and a lighter from his pocket at the same time, Krainev lit the cords - they flashed(Dad.); Our home is for us to protect; They put a samovar in the senz - the smell of smoke spreads around; During the night, everyone rested - you can again take up the interrupted work; The key is lost - break the door.

Notes: 1. If the meaning of the consequence is not emphasized intonationally, then instead of a dash between the parts of a non-union complex sentence, a comma is put: ... I i will interrogate him carefully, he will not even notice(Ch.); Man is not a needle, we will find(Ch.).

2. In the works of classic writers, instead of a dash in the case under consideration, there is a colon: There was nothing to do: Marya Ivanovna got into the carriage and drove to the palace(P.); We drove from behind: no one saw(L.); A light rain sows in the morning: it's impossible to get out(T.); Worries, griefs, failures tormented the poor priest to the extreme: he became distrustful, bitter(Ven.).

4. Before the second part of a non-union complex sentence, a dash is put if the first part indicates the time of the action, which is mentioned in the second part (at the beginning of the first part, you can add a unionwhen) : Win - build a stone house(A. T.); I drove here - the rye was starting to turn yellow. Now I'm leaving - people eat this rye(Prishv.); Ahead was making his way, giving the command with a careful movement of his hand: if he raised his hand above his head, everyone immediately stopped and froze; stretches out his hand to the side with an inclination to the ground - everyone at the same second quickly and silently lay down; wave his hand forward - everyone moved forward; show back - everyone slowly backed away(Cat.); They plow arable land - don't wave their hands(Last).

5. A dash is placed in front of the second part of a non-union complex sentence, if the first part indicates the condition for performing an action, which is mentioned in the second part (at the beginning of the first part, you can add a unionif a ): If it will rain, there will be fungi; there will be fungi - there will be a body(P.); A well done man will pass - she will dignify, a girl will pass - she will become sad, and guslars will pass - they will sing a song(L.) - the values \u200b\u200bof the condition and time are combined; What will be needed - tell Pavel or Tatiana (T.); Invented - done(T.); Lost you completely - we will not cry for you (Ch.); ... A sin will happen - do not ask for mercy(Ch.); Believe it by eye - you will measure it crookedly(M.G.); They will not give - steal!(M.G.); …The less you know the better you sleep(M.G.); They will swear - do not be afraid(Ch.); I like to draw - draw for health, no one forbids(Pan.); Ordered - you're lucky(A. T.) Wed in proverbs: Gruzdev called himself get in the body; Do you like to ride - love to carry sledges; If you miss the fire, you will not extinguish it; Took up the tug - do not say that it is not hefty; To be afraid of wolves - do not go to the forest; If you regret the stripe, you will return the strap; To plow deeper - to see more bread; To be afraid of death is not to live in the worldand etc.

Note. If the second part of a non-union complex sentence of this type begins with a particle like this, then after the first part with the value of the condition, a comma is placed instead of a dash: Give everyone for vodka,so i will have to starve myself soon(P.); Watch so you will get out of patience!(Cr.); Take everything to heart,so you will soon get into consumption(Sharp).

6. Before the second part of a non-union complex sentence, a dash is put if it contains a comparison with what is said in the first part (before the second part, you can add a unionlike or like) : ... He looks - he will give(N.).

7. Before the second part of a non-union complex sentence, a dash is put if it (often an incomplete sentence) has an explanatory meaning (a union can be inserted before itwhat), and the first part does not contain an intonation warning about the subsequent presentation of any fact: The sheep says - she slept all night(Cr.); Sometimes I think I have to run away(M.G.); ... He hears - behind the elderberry bushes the girl laughs(M.G.); The silence was so complete and gloomy, and the sky was so stuffy that it seemed to the boy that if only one sharp sound could be heard, something terrible would happen in nature.(Cat.); Yesterday at the neighboring winter hut they said that a bear lifted a man(Arb.); I hear - groans again(Paust.); Traffic has been paused, hopefully not for long; Someone scratches, it seemed to me - a mouse; But I see - she does not listen to me; They write that we must come - they will meet; They knew there would be a storm; Leave me alone, don't you see - I'm busy.[Cf. § 44, paragraph 3.]

8. Dash is placed before pronouns so, so, so,beginners are a connecting sentence that is part of a non-union complex sentence:An order is an order- So he was raised by the front(Thief.); Crooked streets, small wooden houses -such was a significant part of Moscow at the beginning of the XX century. Go ahead or die- such is the partisan detachment had a choice;

These sentences express judgments, the subject of which is named in the first part, and the predicate forms the second part. If the logical relationship between the two parts is of a different nature, then a comma and a dash are placed between them: Environmental pollution threatens life on Earth - it cannot continue this way(Gas.). [Cm. § 46, paragraph 2.]

9. If the second part of a non-union compound sentence is connecting a sentence, a dash is put in front of it (it is possible to insert the word this, which is sometimes found in the sentence itself): Not a single image on the wall is a bad sign(L.); You don't have a soul, you have self-esteem instead of a soul - that's what I'll tell you(Al.); Inga was excited, Levshin watched her too closely - it caught Klebe's eyes(Fed.); Big water is coming - this is the most interesting(Hump.); He always liked to chat - I knew that very well.(Kav.); They will part, they have already parted - this thought stunned both(Gran.).

Note. Often, if there is a word before the adjoining sentence, a comma and a dash are placed between the parts of the non-union complex sentence: The Russian intelligentsia grew and developed under absolutely brutal conditions -this is undeniable (M.G.). [Cm. § 46, paragraph 1.]

A comma and a dash can also be placed before an adjoining clause containing an additional remark: The village of Pervomaisky was the oldest mining settlement in the area - from it, in fact, the city began(F.).

See: Ivanchikova E. A: On the development of the syntax of the Russian language in the Soviet era // Development of the syntax of the modern Russian language. M., 1966 (some examples were borrowed from there).

  1. § 207. Punctuation marks in a non-union complex sentence

Depending on the meaning, semantic relations between simple sentences in non-union complex sentences, the following punctuation marks are used: comma, semicolon, colon, dash. To check the meaning of a non-union complex sentence, you can use synonymous constructions of complex or complex sentences.

Comma in a non-union complex sentence, it is put in the event that simple sentences are connected by enumeration relations (simultaneity and sequence). You can insert the union and between simple sentences.

Wed: The snowstorm did not subside, the sky did not clear up (Pushkin). - The blizzard did not subside and the sky did not clear up; The train went quickly, its lights soon disappeared, after a minute there was no more noise (Chekhov). - The train went quickly, and its lights soon disappeared, and after a minute there was no more noise.

Plan for parsing a non-union complex sentence

  1. Indicate the type of complex sentence (non-union complex sentence).
  2. Indicate how many parts a non-union complex sentence consists of (highlight grammatical bases).
  3. Indicate the meaning (semantic relationship) between the parts of a non-union sentence. Justify the setting of the punctuation mark (comma, semicolon, colon, dash).
  4. Build a diagram of a non-union complex sentence.

Sample parsing

The oak holds on - the reed has fallen to the ground (Krylov).

Unionless complex sentence; consists of two simple parts: 1) the oak keeps; 2) the reed fell to the ground; grammatical basics: 1) the oak keeps; 2) the reed fell... The second sentence contains opposition (between the parts you can insert the union a: The oak is holding on, but the reed has fallen to the ground). Therefore, a dash is placed between the parts of a complex non-union sentence.
