ABSTRACT

This chapter covers three broad areas: subordination and coordination (see 4.1-4.10); linking sentences (see 4.11-4.15); and focusing and emphasizing (see 4.16-4.19).

In Chapter 1 we looked at the simple sentence Paul plays football, and we analysed it in terms of the following sentence elements: subject (S), verb (V) and direct object (DO):

S V DO
