clauses of adverbial modifier of cause and purpose established in the Georgian language and those lexical
means which appear in indicated kinds.
In its time, in relation to genesis of Hypotax G. Rogava noted that the subordinate sentence by its origin
was originated from the interrogative sentence and that “The complex sentence structurally is the result of
joining of interrogative sentence and its return (retaliatory) sentence. Only, on the basis of this joining the interrogative
sentence (resp. independent clause) has already lost the interrogative content” (Rogava, 1948,
p.365). The expressed consideration is lesser arguing since, really, “The member-conjunctions and conjunctions
are the same Pronouns and Adverbs which we meet in the Interrogative sentence” (Ertelishvili, 1963,
p.196). In opinion of the Georgian scientists opinion, for such Pronouns are primarily considered – Who,
what, which one, where and other Pronouns.
Study of compound sentence (by terminology of F.Ertelashvili “Subordinate clause”) actually is impossible
to imagine without interrelation of the principle and subordinate clauses, is not it so that even the isolation of
its kinds is realized as a result of synthesis of this logical-semantic and lexical-grammar units. As a result of
following of this very general lingual principle have been received those syntactic groups which are called as
the subordinate clauses of adverbial modifiers of purpose and cause.
The case is that the structure of subordinate clauses of adverbial modifiers of purpose and cause on the
level of the Georgian language essentially have been enclosed in homogeneous form, the selection of lexical
units creates the semantic difference; And more vividly: semantic-formal modeling of nominated clauses depends
on the lexical form of the correlate used in the principle sentence and the junction subordinated on it
(because..+ so as// that – expresses the construction of cause content; And in order to … + for// that – of purpose.).
The lexical characteristics, which we can call the correlates and junctions, it is actual, that considerably
determine a contextual character of the clause but what does determine their form?! This is the main question
answering to which is the main syntactical task for us.
Before we do find out the formal analysis of subordinate clauses of adverbial modifiers of cause and purpose
and the function of correlate “because” (// ”That is why” // “because”) , we consider it expedient to express
those lexical possibilities which have each of them.
The Compound Sentence of Adverbial Modifier of Cause:
Principle Clause 4
Correlates - that is why, because, in order to / because of it, because of that, because of that
Subordinate Clause
Junctions - So as, that, because that, so as, since
Subordinate complex sentence of adverbial modifier of purpose
Principle Clause
Correlates – Because of that, for that, in order that, for it
Conjunctions – In order to
Subordinate Clause
4
Note: In the Manual of L.Kvachadze Syntax of Modern Georgian Language” as it seems there is missed the correlates
directed towards the 2
391
nd person: “for it”, “because of it”. The scientist writes: In the modern Georgian the words: “because
of it”, “in order to”, “for it” are the adverbs of cause (Kvachadze, 1966; 402).
