What is coordination?

Today we will talk about such a concept in Russian as an agreement. You will learn what coordination is, what is its specificity, and we will also tell you what kinds of approvals exist.

Harmonization: definition of the term

The syntactic subordination has threevarieties: management, adjacency and reconciliation. Harmonization means that the dependent component is likened to the dominant in such grammatical categories, which are called the same names (number, genus, case). Simply put, with the coordination there is a main word and dependent on it, which is completely similar in gender, number and case to the main word. In this case, the change in the dominant word entails also a change in the dependent. For example, "red apple". Here the word "red" has only one number, the middle genus and the nominative case. But, having already changed to the "red apples" we see that the categories - the plural, the "red apple" - the genitive also change.

Unlike control and contiguity, the type of connectionharmonization is a weak link. After all, in the coordination there are no main words that would always require the presence of dependent agreed words as one of the conditions for their use. Meanwhile, sometimes there are cases when it is necessary to have a dependent word, for example: "our arrival has upset everyone", "she had a cheerful look". Dependent words (in the first case "our", in the second - "cheerful") here can not be eliminated.

In accordance with the main word is the word,in which the form is determined by the sense conveyed in the statement. In accordance with the form of the main word, the form of the dependent is also chosen. However, in separate combinations, such as, for example, the "young student", with the help of this criterion it is impossible to distinguish between the dependent and the main elements, since they stand out only for semantic reasons.

Types of approvals

The reconciliation in Russian can be complete andincomplete. In the second case, the dependent word is likened to the main word not in all the same categories. For example, if we talk about quantitative numbers (two small chairs, two small people), the adjective "small" with nouns is consistent only in the case, with the number of matching does not occur. A numeral "two" with nouns is consistent in the genus, but not in the case.
