It is a declarative sentence. Declarative sentences

Declarative sentences

Depending on the purpose of the statement, sentences are declarative, interrogative and incentive.

Narrative sentences are sentences that contain a message about some fact of reality, phenomenon, event, etc. (approved or denied). Narrative sentences are the most common type of sentences, they are very diverse in their content and structure and are distinguished by the completeness of thought, transmitted by a specific narrative intonation: an increase in tone on a logically distinguished word (or two or more, but one of the increases will be the largest) and a calm decrease tone at the end of a sentence. For example: Kibitka drove up to the porch of the commandant's house. The people recognized Pugachev's bell and the crowd ran after him. Shvabrin met the impostor on the porch. He was dressed as a Cossack and grew a beard (P.).

Interrogative sentences are sentences intended to induce the interlocutor to express an idea that interests the speaker. For example: Why do you need to go to Petersburg? (P.); What are you going to say to yourself now? (P.).

The grammatical means of making interrogative sentences are as follows:
a) interrogative intonation - an increase in tone on a word with which the meaning of the question is associated, for example: Did you call happiness with a song? (L.) (Compare: Did you call happiness with a song? - Did you call happiness with a song?);
b) word arrangement (usually the word with which the question is connected is placed at the beginning of the sentence), for example: Is it a hostile hail burning? (L.); But will he soon return with a rich tribute? (L.);
c) interrogative words - interrogative particles, adverbs, pronouns, for example: Wouldn't it be better for you to get behind them yourself? (P.); Is there really no woman in the world to whom you would like to leave something as a keepsake? (L.); Why are we standing here? (Ch.); Where does the glow shine from? (L.); What were you doing in my garden? (P.); What are you supposed to do? (P.).

Interrogative sentences are divided into self-interrogative, interrogative-incentive and interrogative-rhetorical.

Self-interrogative sentences contain a question that requires an obligatory answer. For example: Did you write your will? (L.); Tell me, does the uniform fit well on me? (L.).

A peculiar kind of interrogative sentences, close to proper interrogative ones, are those that, being addressed to the interlocutor, require only confirmation of what is stated in the question itself.

Such sentences are called interrogative-affirmative sentences. For example: So are you going? (Bl.); So it's decided, Herman? (Bl.); So, to Moscow now? (Ch.).

Interrogative sentences, finally, can contain a negation of what is being asked, these are interrogative-negative sentences. For example: What do you like here? It doesn't seem to be particularly pleasant (Bl.); And even if he spoke... What new things can he tell? (Bl.).

Both interrogative-affirmative and interrogative-negative sentences can be combined into interrogative-declarative ones, since they are of a transitional nature from a question to a message.

Interrogative-incentive sentences contain an incentive to action, expressed through a question. For example: So, maybe our wonderful poet will continue the interrupted reading? (Bl.); Shall we talk business first? (Ch.).

Interrogative-rhetorical sentences contain affirmation or negation. These proposals do not require an answer, since it is contained in the question itself. Interrogative-rhetorical sentences are especially common in fiction, where they are one of the stylistic means of emotionally colored speech. For example: I wanted to give myself every right not to spare him if fate had mercy on me. Who has not made such conditions with his conscience? (L.); Desires ... What is the use in vain and eternally wishing? (L.); But who will penetrate into the depths of the seas and into the heart, where there is longing, but no passions? (L).

Interrogative sentences can also take the form of insert constructions, which also do not require an answer and serve only to attract the attention of the interlocutor, for example: The accuser flies headlong into the library and - can you imagine? - neither a similar number, nor such a date of the month of May is found in Senate decisions (Fed.).

A question in an interrogative sentence may be accompanied by additional shades of a modal nature - uncertainty, doubt, distrust, surprise, etc. For example: How did you stop loving her? (L.); Don't you recognize me? (P.); And how could she allow Kuragin to come to this? (L. T.).

Incentives are sentences that express the will of the speaker. They can express: a) an order, a request, a plea, for example: - Be silent! you! - the Leftover exclaimed in an evil whisper, jumping to his feet (M. G.); - Go, Peter! - commanded by a student (M. G.); - Uncle Gregory ... bend over with your ear (M. G.); - And you, my dear, do not break it ... (M. G.); b) advice, suggestion, warning, protest, threat, for example: The original woman is this Arina; you notice, Nikolai Petrovich (M. G.); Pets of a windy fate, tyrants of the world! Tremble! And you, take heart and listen, rise up, fallen slaves! (P.), Look, more often my hands are mine - beware! (M. G.); c) consent, permission, for example: As you wish, do so; You can go where your eyes look; d) a call, an invitation to joint action, for example: Well, let's try with all our might to defeat the disease (M. G.); My friend, let us dedicate our souls to the homeland with wonderful impulses! (P.); e) desire, for example: Give him Dutch soot with rum (M. G.).

Many of these meanings of incentive sentences are not clearly demarcated (for example, a supplication and a request, an invitation and a command, etc.), since this is expressed more often intonation than structurally.

The grammatical means of making incentive sentences are: a) incentive intonation; b) the predicate in the form of the imperative mood; c) special particles that introduce a motivating connotation into the sentence (come on, come on, come on, yes, let).

Incentive sentences differ in the way the predicate is expressed:

A) The most common expression of the predicate is a verb in the form of an imperative mood, for example: You will wake the captain first (L. T.); So you take the day (M. G.).
An motivating connotation can be added to the meaning of the verb with special particles: Let the storm come on stronger! (M. G.); Long live the sun, long live the darkness! (P.).

B) As a predicate motivating sentence, a verb in the form of the indicative mood (past and future tense) can be used, for example: Let's talk about the stormy days of the Caucasus, about Schiller, about fame, about love! (P.); Get out of the way! (M. G.); - Let's go, - he said (Cossack.).

C) As a predicate - a verb in the form of a subjunctive mood, for example: Would you listen to what kind of music I have in my soul ... (M. G.). Among these sentences, sentences with the word so stand out, for example: So that I never hear about you again (Gr.), and the verb can be omitted: So that not a single soul - no, no! (M. G.).

D) The role of the predicate in the incentive sentence can be played by the infinitive, for example: Call Bertrand! (Bl.); Don't you dare annoy me! (Ch.).
The infinitive with a particle would express a soft request, advice: You should go to Tatyana Yuryevna at least once (Gr.).

E) In colloquial speech, incentive sentences are often used without the verbal expression of the predicate-verb in the form of an imperative, clear from the context or situation. These are peculiar forms of live speech sentences with a leading word, a noun, an adverb or an infinitive. For example: Carriage to me, carriage! (Gr.); The duty general soon! (L. T.); Hush, here, be careful. To the steppe where the moon does not shine! (Bl.); Lord! Silence! Our beautiful poet will read us his beautiful poem (Bl.); Water! Bring her to her senses! - More! She comes to her senses (Bl.).

E) The structural center of incentive sentences (also in colloquial speech) can also be the corresponding interjections: come on, march, tsyts, etc.: - Come to me! he shouted (M. G.).

The Russian language is a complex, multifaceted, multistructural phenomenon. Each section of linguistics studies a separate section of the language using a scientific system approach. The study of the sentence as the main one deals with syntax.

A sentence in Russian is characterized by a number of features. In terms of quantity, it is simple and complex. By the presence of predicative units, it is considered complete (there is both a subject and a predicate) and incomplete (one of the main members of the sentence is omitted, but is easily restored from the context of the sentence). In composition, it can be two-part (both main members of the sentence are present) and one-part (in the presence of only the subject or only the predicate). in turn, they are divided into nominal (the main member is the subject) and verbal - definitely personal, indefinitely personal, generalized personal and impersonal (with one main member - predicate).

It is customary to distinguish between a declarative sentence, an interrogative sentence, and an incentive sentence.

Declarative sentence - this is a sentence that contains a message about someone or something: about some fact, event, phenomenon, object or living being, for example: "Outside the window today, the sun, so rare in these latitudes, shone all day." This message can be negative or affirmative: "How much we did not expect father, today he did not come

". "Rain poured from early morning, as promised by the forecasters."

Declarative sentence - the most common in Russian. They are characterized by the diversity of content and structure; such sentences always express a complete thought. In oral speech, this is conveyed by special shades of narrative intonation - on a key word or phrase, the tone rises, the most significant fragment is logically highlighted, then the tone drops to calm, followed by the intonation of the end of the sentence.

A declarative sentence includes all the main types of sentences:

  • simple: "Mom came home from work";
  • complex: "I looked out into the street and saw that the sky was covered with a huge cloud";
  • complete: "The blizzard cleared up in earnest";
  • incomplete: "A fake friend will betray you at the first danger, a real one never!"
  • two-part: "He left without looking back";
  • one-part - denominative: "Outside the window is a quiet spring night"; verbal: "I dream of you"; "They keep knocking on my door"; "It smells sweet" Climb up the hill and ride nicely on the first rolled snow.

Proposals for intonation in Russian are exclamatory, i.e. emotionally colored and non-exclamatory - emotionally neutral: Oh, how wonderful in the summer in the forest! The sun gently bakes, birds sing about something, midges flutter fussily in the grass.

Non-exclamatory sentences do not express emotions - anger, joy, anger, despair, etc. In their content, they are either narrative or interrogative: A hungry puppy wandered dejectedly along a dark street; Can you tell me what time it is?

Exclamatory sentences express the widest range of emotions - joy, anger, surprise, amazement, etc. In oral speech, an exclamation is expressed by a special intonation, an increase in tone. In writing - with the help of an exclamation mark.

Exclamatory sentences can include sentences such as:

  • narrative sentences, for example: "Here she came, mother winter!"
  • incentive sentences: "Be careful, do not make mistakes in composing!"
  • interrogative sentences: "And why are we silent?! What are we thinking about ?!"

In addition to intonation, an exclamation can be expressed by such service parts of speech as interjections and particles: what, oh, well, well, what for and others:

O! How glad I am to see you!

What a delight this snow is!

Well, you already came up with a joke!

Hey! Masters, open the gate!

Well, you already came up with a joke!

Hey! Masters, open the gate!

Interrogative sentences are called that have as their goal to induce the interlocutor to express an idea that interests the speaker, i.e. their purpose is educational. For example: Why are you in Petersburg?(P.); What are you going to say to yourself now?(P.).

The grammatical means of making interrogative sentences are as follows:

    1) interrogative intonation - an increase in tone on the word with which the meaning of the question is associated, for example: Have you been on the Western Front?(Sim.) (Compare: Have you been on the Western Front?; Have you been on the Western Front?);

    2) word arrangement (usually the word with which the question is associated is placed at the beginning of the sentence), for example: Not Does hostile hail burn?(L.); But will he soon return with a rich tribute?(L.);

    3) interrogative words - interrogative particles, adverbs, pronouns, for example: Not better can you get behind them yourself?(P.); Is there really no woman in the world to whom you would like to leave something as a keepsake?(L.); Why are we standing here?(Ch.); Where does the glow shine from?(L.); BUT what were you doing in my garden?(P.); What are you supposed to do?(P.).

Interrogative sentences are divided into proper interrogative, interrogative-impellative and interrogative-rhetorical.

Actually interrogative sentences contain a question that requires a mandatory answer. For example: Have you written your will?(L.); Tell me, does the uniform fit well on me?(L.).

A peculiar variety of interrogative sentences, close to proper interrogative ones, are those that, being addressed to the interlocutor, require only confirmation of what is stated in the question itself. Such sentences are called interrogative-affirmative: So are you going? (Bl.); So it's decided, Herman?(Bl.); So, to Moscow now?(Ch.).

Interrogative sentences can contain a negation of what is being asked, these are interrogative-negative sentences: What can you like here? It doesn't seem to be very pleasant.(Bl.); And even if he spoke... What new things can he tell?(Bl.).

Interrogative-affirmative and interrogative-negative sentences can be combined into interrogative-declarative ones, since they have a transitional character - from a question to a message.

Interrogative-incentive sentences contain an incentive to action, expressed through a question. For example: So, maybe our fine poet will continue the interrupted reading?(Bl.); Shall we talk business first?(Ch.); - So will you give me Gogol? - asks Ivan Matveich(Ch.).

Interrogative-rhetorical sentences contain affirmation or negation. These proposals do not require an answer, since it is contained in the question itself. Interrogative-rhetorical sentences are especially common in fiction, where they are one of the stylistic means of emotionally colored speech. For example: I wanted to give myself every right not to spare him, if fate had mercy on me. Who has not made such conditions with his conscience?(L.); Desires ... What is the use in vain and eternally wishing?(L.); But who will penetrate into the depths of the seas and into the heart, where there is longing, but no passions?(L.).

In essence, interrogative-rhetorical questions also include counter questions (an answer in the form of a question): - Tell me, Stepan, did you marry for love? - asked Masha. - What kind of love do we have in the village? Stepan replied and chuckled.(Ch.).

Interrogative sentences can also take the form of insert constructions, which also do not require an answer and serve only to attract the attention of the interlocutor, for example: The accuser flies headlong into the library and - can you imagine?- neither a similar number, nor such a date of the month of May is found in Senate decisions(Fed.).

A question in an interrogative sentence may be accompanied by additional shades of a modal nature - uncertainty, doubt, distrust, surprise, etc. For example: How did you fall in love with her?(L.); Don't you recognize me?(P.); And how could she allow Kuragin to come to this?(L. T.).

Additional shades can be emotional, for example, a shade of negative expression: Are you deaf, or what?; a hint of politeness (mitigation of the question is usually achieved using the particle not): Won't you come to me tomorrow? Wed: Will you come to me tomorrow?

Incentives are sentences that express the will of the speaker, their goal is to induce action.

They can express: 1) an order, a request, a prayer, for example: - Silence!.. you! - the Leftover exclaimed in an evil whisper, jumping to his feet(M. G.); - Go, Peter! - the student commanded(M. G.); Uncle Gregory... lean over with your ear(M. G.); And you, my dear, don't break it...(M. G.); 2.) advice, suggestion, warning, protest, threat, for example: This original woman is Arina; you notice, Nikolai Petrovich(M. G.); Pets of the windy Fate, tyrants of the world! Tremble! And you, take heart and listen, rise up, fallen slaves!(P.); Look, often my hands are mine - beware!(M. G.); 3) consent, permission, for example: Do as you please; You can go where your eyes look; 4) call, invitation to joint action, for example: Well, let's try our best to defeat the disease(M. G.); My friend, let us dedicate our souls to the homeland with wonderful impulses!(P.); 5) desire, for example: Give him Dutch soot with rum (M. G.).

Many of these meanings of incentive sentences are not clearly demarcated (for example, a supplication and a request, an invitation and a command, etc.), since this is expressed more often intonation than structurally.

The grammatical means of making incentive sentences are: 1) incentive intonation; 2) the predicate in the form of the imperative mood; 3) special particles that introduce an incentive connotation into the sentence ( come on, let's, come on, let's).

Incentive sentences differ in the way the predicate is expressed.

exclamatory sentences

exclamatory are called sentences that are emotionally colored, which is conveyed by a special exclamatory intonation.

Emotional coloring can have various types of sentences: narrative, interrogative, and incentive.

For example, narrative-exclamatory: He met death face to face, as a fighter should in battle!(L.); interrogative-exclamatory: Who would have dared to ask Ishmael about that?!(L.); exclamatory exclamatory: - Oh, spare him!.. wait! he exclaimed(L.).

The grammatical means of making exclamatory sentences are as follows:

    1) intonation that conveys a variety of feelings: joy, annoyance, chagrin, anger, surprise, etc. (exclamatory sentences are pronounced in a higher tone, with emphasis on the word that directly expresses the emotion), for example: Goodbye love letter, goodbye!(P.); Appear, inhale delight and zeal to the shelves left by you!(P.);

    2) interjections, for example: Ah, this man always causes me a terrible upset(Gr.); ... And, alas, my champagne triumphs over the power of her magnetic eyes!(L.); Wow! .. they serve well here! Ahti, good!(M. G.); Ugh, Lord, I'm sorry! Saying the same thing five thousand times!(Gr.);

    3) exclamatory particles of interjection, pronominal and adverbial origin, giving the expressed emotional coloring: well, oh, well, where, how, how, what, what and others, for example: Well, what a neck! What eyes!(Cr.); Well, here's some fun for you!(Gr.); Where is cute! (Gr.); What a thing Kyiv! What an end!(P.); How beautiful, how fresh the roses were!(T.); Fu you, what! Don't say a word to her!(M. G.).

Common and non-common suggestions

(B. Paul); At noon, Razmetnov came home to have lunch and through the gate door he saw pigeons near the threshold of the hut.(Shol.); In every spiritually developed person, the outlines of his homeland are repeated and live.(Spread).

A sentence can be extended by agreed, controlled and adjoining word forms (according to the rules of conditional relations) included in the sentence through phrases, or by word forms relating to the entire sentence as a whole. Wed: The lacquered green of the poplars shone(Past.); Once in August at noon, the knives and plates on the terrace turned green, twilight fell on the flower garden(Past.). In the first sentence, the word forms lacquer and poplars, being definitions, are simultaneously included in phrases ( lacquer greens, poplar greens); in the second - components sometime in august at noon- characterize the entire predicative basis of the sentence ( knives and plates turned green). The propagators of a sentence as a whole are called determinants. As a rule, various circumstances and additions that express a semantic subject or object are determinant: Winter on Tverskoy Boulevard one of the sisters settled(Past.); There were many snakes in the park(Past.); At the beginning of August ours moved from Bavaria to Italy(Past.); Katyusha had a lot of housework(L. T.); The chief conductor liked the car, and now and then he visited it(Past.); Blok had everything that creates a great poet(Past.).

Thus, the distributors of the sentence can be included in the predicative stem of the sentence, extending either the composition of the subject or the composition of the predicate, or they can be distributors of the stem as a whole. The term "determinant" was introduced by N.Yu. Shvedova.

Declarative sentence

A sentence containing a message about any fact, phenomenon, event, affirmed or denied. Declarative sentences have a special intonation! rise in tone on a logically distinguished word and a calm decrease in tone at the end of a sentence. This is the most common type of offer. Another two weeks have passed. Ivan Ilyich did not get up from the sofa. He did not want to lie in bed and lay on the couch(L. Tolstoy).
