Then follow: the indirect object, the predicate and in the final position the subject occurs.a WO-pattern, however, cannot be considered similar for all sentences of this kind. Sometimes a whole group of adverbial modifiers opens a sentence, and the subject comes before the predicate: e. g. Æþer ed cyning ond Æ lfr? d his br? þur þæ r micle fired t? R? Adin 3um 3 elæddon (4 nights after king Æ thered and his brother Æ lfred a big force to Reding brought). more WO-pattern is found in subordinate clauses. Here there is a tendency to place the predicate-verb at the end of the clause: e. g. Ohthere sæde his hl? Forde Æ lfrede cynin3 < span align = "justify"> e, þæt h ? ealra Nor þmanna norþmest b ? de (Othere told his lord King AElfred that he north of all Normans lived (had)). In English this pattern has become extinct while in German it has come to be a standard.OE the attribute normally comes before the noun which it modifies: e. g. in 3 elimp? ce t? de (at a convenient time), hron æ sb? n (whale bone). But some attributes come after the noun they modify :) when the attribute is qualitative: e. g. his suna twe3en (his two sons);
b) when it is used in direct address: eg Sunu m? n, 3an3 hidеr and cysse me (my son, come here and kiss me). the development of analytic tendencies in the language a rather fixed and rigid WO structure of English was largely determined by the gradual disappearance of case forms. In OE it was the inflection that showed what part of the sentence the meaningful word was. In Middle English the syntactical functions of the lost inflections had to be expressed by some other means. So, the position of the word in the sentence came to be the main factor determining its syntactical function, WO was becoming grammatical by taking over some of the functions of lost inflections. some period in passing from OE to ME the WO was not absolutely fixed even after the loss of inflections and the function of the word in the sentence could be identified only if a more or less broad context was taken into consideration, but in the 14th and 15th centuries the WO-type: subject-predicate-object was becoming more and more regular. If, however, the sentence opened with an adverbial modifier or direct object inversion was frequently used: eg wel coude he sitte on hors and faire ryde (well could he sit on horse and ride well). attribute in Middle English is usually placed before the noun it modifies. Only some adjectives of French origin follow their head-nouns according to the french pattern: attribute-noun: e. g. court martial, cousin german.the beginning of the NE period the WO subject-predicative-object was firmly established in most declarative sentences. In Modern English the WO-pattern can be deviated from declarative sentences beginning with the words: there is ..., there came ..., there stood ... and with adverbial modifiers: eg On the terrace stood a knot of distinguished visitors. cases of inversion in declarative sentences may be accounted for from the viewpoint of the functional sentence perspective: the predicate is often placed before the subjects if some member of the sentence is put in a prominent position go as to be made the rheme of the sentence: e. g. Only then did he realize the danger ...
3. Types of syntactical relations between words in the phrase. Their further development
had 3 major types of syntactical bond: coordination, subordination and predication. Respectively there existed: coordinate phrases, subordinate phrases and predicative phrases.a coordinate phrase the components are not dependent on one another: e. g. in the sentence Гѕ ? Finnas, him Гѕ ? Hte, and Гѕ < span align = "justify">? Beormas spr Г¦ con n? Ah? N < span align = "justify"> 3 ...
