Abstract

This article investigates the types of complex syntactic constructions that function as units between a simple sentence and a paragraph from a hierarchical linguistic perspective. Emphasis is placed on the syntactic-derivational and speech-semantic features of these constructions, drawing on existing linguistic classifications such as compound sentences, complex sentences, compound- complex sentences, syntactic wholes, and periods. Through an analytical approach, the study identifies both differences and similarities among these constructions, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of their place in discourse and syntax.
