EXAMINING THE SENTENCE FUNCTIONS OF THE MODIFIERS OF TIME IN THE JOURNAL ENTRIES GEZA CSATH FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF COMMUNICATIVE PERSPECTIVES

Abstract

The word order in a sentence is formed depending on the communicative value function of the components, their informative and communicative aspects separate them into more pronounced and less pronounced components. Some 20th century linguistic schools changed their sentence approach concerning the sentence structure and phrases layout. While the traditional grammars still keep in mind the assessment of the sentence from subject-predicate structure view, the communicative aspect texts keep in mind first the sentence components communicative value (dynamism). The theme of study subject is the communicative examination of the use of the modifiers of time and their function in Géza Csáth journal entries. I carried out the journal entries analysis of the modifiers of time in four positions (sentence modifier, topic, focus and predicate modifier) on the base of Katalin E. Kiss sentence model.
