Non-traditional analysis of the conpound sentence

For the first time the status of Compound Sent was revised at the beginning of the 20^th century by the Dutch scholar Kruisinga: in case of coordination Clauses do not presuppose each other because each of them is equal to a complete independent sentence, -> we deal with a string of simple sentences but not with a kind of a composite sentence.

In the 60s this idea was developed by soviet scholar Lubov Lazarevna Iofik. She innumerated a number of cases when the mode of coordination participates in producing a composite sentence. First of all, this takes place if 2 coordinated Clauses have a subordinate Cl in common which is related to both of them (e.g.: Because he was old & deaf, nobody liked him & nobody respected him).

The 2^nd case: when coordination participates in deriving a composite sentence is of an opposite character. Here 1 principle Cl has 2 homogeneous coordinated Cl (e.g.: He lived where he chose & how he chose).

Sometimes, the part in common uniting predicative groups can be equal not to a Cl but to a phrase (e.g.: He couldn`t, he wouldn`t believe (part in common) it).

In other cases when the conditions above mentioned are not observed we deal not with a composite Sent but a contextual link of 2 or > simple Sent. And even the conjunction “and” is no obstacle to this viewpoint because “and” can be used at the beginning of an independent stylistic device, too (e.g.: Her eyes stared painfully. And she was silent.)
