The compound sentence as a polypredicative construction built on the principle of coordination (parataxis). Paradigmatic presentation of the compound sentence; the leading clause and the sequential clause. The problem of the compound sentence as a separate syntactic unit; the semantico-syntactic differences between the compound sentence and the sequence of independent sentences in a text. Syndetic and asyndetic connections in compound sentences. The types of coordinative connectors.
The complex sentence as a polypredicative construction built on the principle of subordination (hypotaxis). The classification of complex sentences on the basis of subordinate clause types.
