Factors hampering the reception of compound and complex sentences

Summary/Abstract: Several compound and complex sentences are analysed in this paper to prove that one of the major sources of difficulties related to their comprehension is an artificial, clumsily high number of grammatical subjects, and in certain sentences – agents. The most significant effects of its reduction (apart from the lexeme reduction), achieved merely owing to editing efforts which condense the content, are simplification, disambiguation and cohesion of a given statement, and hence – increase in its values in linguistic communication. Among the automatic factors facilitating the achievement of such an effect are e.g. the inclusion of the greatest possible number of lexemes in syntactic patterns resulting from the case government, and the unification of the voice category.
