ABSTRACT
Subordination. Tm: qu(>stion of the class into which a word should be put-whether that of substantives or adjectives, or some other-is one that concerns the word in itself. Some answer to that question will therefore be found in dictionaries.! We have now to consider combinations of words, and here we shall find that though a substantive always remains a substantive and an adjective an adjective, there is a certain scheme of subordination in connected speech which is analogous to the distribution of words into 'parts of speech,' without being entirely dependent on it.
