(Ginaastuti)

CLAUSES AND CLAUSES COMPLEX

            Systemic functional grammar talk about  clauses and clause complex rather than sentences. Sentence is a unit of written language; it doesn’t apply to spoken language. clause can defined as the largest grammatical unit and clause complex is two or more clauses logically connected.

Because mood, transitivity and theme-rhyme are analyzed at clause level. It is  essential to know where clauses begin and end. Classify types of clauses are minor clauses ( no predicate) and major clauses (with predicate)

Look at this example
