ns as: D { t, hif, hw { Гѕ er, also by conjunctive pronouns and adverbs: hw?, hw { t, hwilc, h?, hw Г¦ r, hwider etc.attributive clauses are introduced in OE by the relative particle Гѕ e , also by a combination of Гѕ e + a demonstrative pronoun: s?, s? Гѕ e, Гѕ { t Гѕ e, seo Гѕe . clauses introduced by the particle Гѕ e are mostly of a limiting character, by the demonstrative pronoun " s? " - of descriptive character.subordinate adverbial clauses those of time, place, cause, result, purpose, condition, concession are most common in OE.OE complex sentence reveals traits which attest to a lack of accuracy in the means of subordination. Correlation must also be mentioned as a traditional construction from parataxis to hypotaxis. It is a wide-spread phenomenon in complex sentences with subordinate adverbial and object clauses. In adverbial clauses of time, for example, subordinate conjunctions Гѕ ?, Гѕ onne, hwanne, si ГѕГѕ an etc. often correlate with the adverbs Гѕ a or Гѕ onne in the main clause.conjunction " D { t" introducing a subordinate object clause may be correlated with the demonstrative pronoun " D { t "or personal pronoun" hit "functioning as objects in the main clause: eg Ne wi D cwe D e ic Гѕ ? mn? nwiht D { t Гѕ u sw? d? "I am not at all against that that you should do so". subordination is not frequent in OE, (example p.117) and it is treated in the same way as correlation, pleonastic use of pronouns, shifting from indirect to direct discourse, whish testify to immaturity of formal expression in the sphere of subordination.Englishthe ME complex sentence preserved many features inherited from OE which illustrated incomplete subordination, at the same time it aquired new properties attesting to the gradual elaboration of subordinate clauses. The development of hypotaxis was largely predetermined by the emergence of the national language and the rise of the written standard. in ME still occurs, but comparing with OE, it diminished, because it's nature appears to be different from what it used to be. The correlated elements in the main and the subordinate clauses often do not coincide in form: eg Auh forgif hit me nu, Гѕ et ich hit habbe itold te "forgive me it that I have told you about it" . presume that such a correlation was a step made towards its total abandonment as a means reinforcing the subordinative conjunction. In ModE correlation would appear redundant at all, except for its stylistic value: eg he wondered more whether she could see his eagerness to get back to that which she had brought him away from. He the emphasis is achieved by putting "that" in the main clause.system of connectives in ME and later on underwent a number of changes too. Some of OE conjunctions fell into disuse: e.g. o Гѕ Гѕ a (до того як), mid Гѕ am (з тім, щоб). Some connectives became specialized as indicators of new relationships...
