Summary/Abstract: The article analyses, how the types of syntactic relations are described in the works on Lithuanian syntax of the 1st half of the 20th century. The concept and definition of subordination types as well as their application in describing and splitting sentence parts are taken into account. In the works analysed two types of subordination are mentioned–agreement and government. These types are most clearly distinguished in the Kuzmickis’ Syntax of the Lithuanian language. In the other works their conception as subordination types is yet wage. Agreement is described in the all works investigated. Usually they make difference between the agreement of syntactic subject and predicate and the agreement of attribute with his head. However, for the first time it is defined only in Durys’ Syntax of the Lithuanian language (1927). The government is defined for the first time only in Kuzmickis’ Syntax of the Lithuanian language (1930). It is not mentioned at all or mentioned only when dividing types of complements in the other works of syntax. The third type of subordination, which is still common to us –šliejimas was not mentioned at all in the works of Lithuanian syntax before the Soviet occupation.
