- Title
"PARADOXICAL" ASPECTS OF STRUCTURE IN LANGUAGE: CAUSAL LOGIC IN SUBORDINATE OBJECT CLAUSES.
- Authors
Pomareff, C.V.
- Abstract
This article examines one type of Russian complex sentence in the light of the built-in causal logic of human speech. It can be seen how syntactical structure of language is built around the principle of cause and effect, symbolizing and revealing man's continuous striving to extend his inner self into an external reality, relate to the needs of a subjective self to an objective world environment. At the same time, one can find for one and the same grammatical context that a more natural causal logic operates simultaneously in direct opposition to the direction of the more conventionalized and artificial logic of the grammarian. It would appear that a paradoxical system is created where what is logical in one of its orders of logic, is not in the other; and what is logical in the other, is not logical in the one. What is logical, is not; and what is not logical, is.
