Phrases and sentences are universal linguistic phenomena. Their structures
can be used as a basis for typological comparison.
For identifying the type of a phrase, the following criteria have been
established:
a) The type of syntactical connection in a phrase.
b) The means of expressing the syntactical connection.
c) The position of the elements of the phrase.
The elements of a phrase can be syntactically
equal or unequal
. In the
former case, neither of the elements modifies the other. We can change their
position without any change of meaning. Such combinations are calledequipotent
.
e.g. father and son; son and father.
If the elements are syntactically unequal, one of them modifies the other.
The principal element is called the “kernel” or “head word”. The subordinate
element is called “the adjunct”. Their respective positions are different for different
types of phrases and different languages. Such phrases are called
dominational.
The connections between the elements of a dominational phrase can be
further grouped into:
predicative
attributive
objective
adverbial

the predicate of a
