A SYNTACTIC CONCEPT OF "CONDITIONALITY" IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE (AS EXEMPLIFIED IN COMPLEX SENTENCES WITH CONDITIONAL CLAUSES)
Complex sentences with conditional clauses are analyzed in the context of cognitive linguistics. There is a focus on the ‘syntactic concept' which is to systematize syntactic structures in the language. The syntactic concept of conditionality serves as an example to identify typical situations when complex sentences with conditional clauses are used in special texts.
