Compound sentences with the union <i>and</i> as means of expression of the cause and effect relations
Compound sentences with the union and always express the connecting relations, but in these relations the relations cause and effect can be allocated. The union also carries out a role of a clean clamp (his situation is strictly fixed, it enters the second part of the offer), doesn't express accurately certain semantic relations. V. A. Beloshapkova's idea about semantic zero nature of the union is relevant and classifications of these offers are given in grammars of Russian. The most successful classification - in grammar-70. According to this classification the cause and effect relations are expressed in two semantic kinds of offers with the union and: productive and connecting rasprostranitelnyh. In productive offers it is reported about two phenomena, the second of which is result of the first. Only productive offers with an indicative modality of the first part have the nature of cause and effect conditionality. Suggestions with an indicative modality of both parts are expressed by the relations of following, simultaneity, precedence. In the second part of these offers there can be a hypothetical modality of motivation, desirability, potentiality, irreality. In such offers it is reported about the phenomenon which does the estimated phenomenon possible. The cause and effect relations can be expressed also in a connecting rasprostranitelnykh offers. The second part of such offers - the additional report caused by contents of the first offer. Offers are distributed in fiction language.Results of the analysis of examples of these designs allow to draw a conclusion that in compound sentences with the union and the cause and effect relations have no formal expression, their existence is defined by a context.
