LINGUODIDACTIC ASPECTS OF PARENTHESIS (INTRODUCTORY PARTS OF SENTENCES)
Abstract
In the realm of linguodidactics, understanding and effectively teaching the use of parenthetical structures, especially introductory parts of sentences, plays a crucial role in developing learners' communicative competence. Parenthesis, in this context, refers to words, phrases, or clauses inserted into a sentence to provide additional information, clarification, or commentary without disrupting the syntactic structure. These elements often appear at the beginning of sentences and serve a variety of pragmatic and stylistic functions in discourse (Biber et al., 1999).
