The Systematic Complexity and Self-reproduction of Complex Sentences
MA Qing-hua · Journal of Shanxi University · 2012
This study illustrated that the complex sentence with embedded structures contains an ordered process of systematic complexity and self-reproduction.It starts from the shifting of a jointed domain towards an embedded domain,with the successive complex sentence crossing its boundary and turning into a causal complex sentence.The postulated relationship inherited the causal relationship and derived from the variation of current situation of the causal relationship to the expected causal situation.The resulting causal predictability relationship thus supplied a logical foundation which is essential for the secondary emergence of embedded structures.Afterwards,complex sentences with embedded structures would continue to shift toward other types under the family resemblance relationship more dynamically,by methods of modality variation,clockwise variation,project variation and mark substitution.Among those variations,the selection of the constant and the variable would frequently change.When a reproduction succeeded,the new type of complex sentences reproduced can then select its new constant and variable and to expand again,thereby constituting the chain evolution of complex sentence types.
