Intrasentential

Description:

Intrasentential is an adjective that refers to something occurring within a sentence. It pertains to elements or phenomena within a single sentence rather than extending to a larger linguistic unit.

Examples:

1. Adjective sense:
• The use of intrasentential punctuation marks, such as commas and dashes, aids in conveying meaning within a sentence.
• This grammar rule focuses on intrasentential agreement between subject and predicate.
2. Adverb sense:
• The adverb "quickly" is an example of an intrasentential modifier as it modifies the verb within the sentence.
• The adverbial phrase "with great enthusiasm" functions intrasententially to describe how the action was performed.
3. Noun sense:
• The omission of a noun within a sentence can be considered an intrasentential ellipsis.
• Clauses connected intrasententially by conjunctions are known as coordinate or coordinating clauses.
