Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Syntax is the study of how words are put together to form different kinds of clauses and sentences. As in English, exclamatory statements are habitually indicated in speech by intonation and in writing by an exclamation mark. Sentences and clauses usually begin with what is already known from the context, the ‘theme’ – tema, or ‘starting point’, and go on to deliver what is new, the ‘rheme’ – rema, or main point of the statement or utterance. Enclitics in Czech are typically unstressed auxiliary verbs and pronouns, which are habitually placed early in the sentence or clause, following an initial stressed word or phrase. A conjunction is a word which connects two clauses together. Subordinate clauses are regularly demarcated by commas, at both ends if one of these does not coincide with the beginning or end of the sentence.
