Study Notes
Alternative Coordinates
Coordinating structures play an essential role in connecting independent clauses with various types of conjunctions. These connections often require alternative ways of expressing ideas to achieve more nuanced meaning. In this study, we will explore the use of adversative conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs, ellipsis in coordination, correlative conjunctions, and parallel structure in coordinated sentences.
Adversative Conjunctions
Adversative conjunctions are used to connect two contradictory or contrasting clauses, such as "but," "however," and "nevertheless." They indicate a change of direction, emphasis, or addition within a sentence. For example:
- She likes ice cream, but she does not like cake.
- He was tired however, he went out for dinner.
- Despite his efforts, nevertheless he failed to reach the finish line.
Conjunctive Adverbs
Conjunctive adverbs help create relationships between clauses. Examples of conjunctive adverbs include "moreover," "furthermore," and "additionally." These adverbs can also coordinate sentence elements. Here is an example:
- I need to go to the ATM; moreover, my wallet is empty.
Ellipsis in Coordination
Ellipsis occurs when one or more words are omitted from a sentence because they are understood without explicit mention. It is a common technique used in coordination to streamline sentences and emphasize meaning. Consider these examples:
- I'm hungry, you?
- John walked home, Martha too.
Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative conjunctions join two parts of a sentence together by repeating a similar grammatical form. Commonly used correlative conjunctions include pairs like "either...or," "neither...nor," "both...and," and "not only...but also." They present oppositional options or alternatives. See these examples:
- Either you come with me or stay home.
- Not only did they eat pizza, but they also ate tacos.
Parallel Structure
Parallel structure refers to the use of similar grammatical structures in two or more clauses to create balance and symmetry. It involves matching the parts of the sentence to emphasize a clear contrast or similarity. Here is a parallel structure example:
- She likes to dance and sing; her brother prefers to play football and video games.
By understanding and using these alternative coordinating structures, you can create more effective and nuanced sentences.
