Types of Syntagmas

The combination of two words or word-groups one of which is modified by the other is called a syntactic syntagma.

There are four main types of notional syntagmas:

· predicative (the combination of a subject and a predicate)

· objective(the combination of a verb and its object)

· attributive(the combination of a noun and its attribute)

· adverbial(the combination of a modified notional word, such as a verb, adjective, or adverb, with its adverbial modifier).
