본문내용

English speakers readily create far more complex sentences.
Linguists are fond of saying that any human language contains an infinite number of possible sentences. The reason for this extraordinary potential is the recursive quality of language.
Clauses
A clause that can stand on its own is called an independent clause, thus any sentence is technically an independent clause. A subordinate or dependent clause is one that can not stand alone as a grammatical entity.
a. I wanted the Marlins to win.
When a structure contains a subordinate clause, the containing structure is often called a matrix clause, main clause.
Subordinate clauses will usually contain a subordinator.
Conjoining
Recursion occurs in two different contexts. We can always add one structure to another by conjoining two or more elements with a conjunction.
CONJUNCTION AND
Conjunction and can be used to conjoin a variety of structures, from single lexical items to sentences
