Introductory design and signs

Sometimes when parsing it turns out that some of the phrases, words or even entire statement is not part of the parsed sentence.They are called "input design" and not linked to the rest of the words grammatically, except within the meaning of.

example:

  1. Apparently, they were elves.
  2. probably the palace is made of glass.

In the first example, "apparently" is the introductory design.Its value in the proposal - all signs say that ... The second example opening remarks is the adverb 'probably' in the sense - not sure about that ...

All input design have certain characteristics:

  1. from membersoffers to him to ask a difficult question.
  2. You can replace them with other introductory words or phrases appropriate meaning.
  3. can withdraw them from the proposal without violating the basic meaning.

For the purposes of opening the structure can be divided into different groups:

  1. belief or doubt.For example, needless to say, really, of course, is obvious, of course, probably think, perhaps, I think, perhaps, I hope, etc.
  2. Source sayings or statements.For example, reported, according ... According to ... say, in your opinion, do you think, in my opinion, etc.
  3. expression of emotions.For example, luckily, unfortunately, to be honest, unfortunately, to the delight, surprisingly, etc.
  4. order of events, statements.For example: Thus, firstly, in general, in particular as a result and so on.
  5. Attracting the attention of the interlocutor.For example: Look, you know, understand, imagine, please, believe me, you see, etc.
  6. Estimation style expressions or statements.For example: in other words, so to speak, in a word, if I may say so, in other words, etc.

should also be aware that many of these words can serve as the introductory sentence structure, but may not be them.For example:

In April, may still be cold.

highlighted commas introductory words, and not a member of the proposal.

In April the temperature rises, but maybe it slide.

In the following example, the word "may" is not an introduction, it is part of the predicate, and not released by commas.

Introductory design also should not be confused with the words that are not separated by commas.Most often they are adverbs.For example: suddenly, allegedly as if hardly exclusively even, almost, in the end, even, like, once, firmly, almost, about, little by little, just, etc.But the word "no" is a particle and stands on one or both sides of a comma, if there is in the middle of a sentence.

To identify input words and constructions it is necessary, first, to look for them in the above group of words that are not introductory.Second, to try to put them on the issues of the sentence.If it does not, then it's opening words.Third, you can remove them from the supply and check whether the changed meaning.If it has not changed and can replace synonymous expression, so these designs input, and can be identified easily by commas.

Introductory construction in the English language, as well as in many others, have the same function as in the Russian language.They, too, are not members of the proposals and questions put to them impossible.However, in contrast to the Russian introductory words, the British are not allocated by commas.
