Some Peculiarities of Sentence Structure (according to Georgian Sources)

The article deals with the hypotactic structure with conjunction that (rom) in Georgian. In this structure, we studied the position of subordinate clause and showed models of predicate co-relation in independent and subordinate clauses with the focus on conjunctions. Through our analysis of the hypotactic structures with conjunction rom, we confirmed that we cannot have all possible pairs of time tenses in independent and subordinate clauses of a complex sentence. It is mainly determined by the tense the independent clause predicate is in.
Thus, in the Georgian language we have almost all kinds of hypotactic structures with the conjunction rom (with noun, object, attribute, adverbial clauses). The subordinate clause takes one of these three positions in relation to the independent clause: it is either in pre-position, or in post-position and finally, is inserted in the independent clause. Each type of the hypotactic structures with the conjunction rom manifests different patterns of the tense pairs. We have both cases; that of the similar verb tenses in both clauses and different verb tenses co-relation as well.
We believe, the co-relation of the tenses depends on the different types of subordination and consequently, it determines the positions of independent and subordinate clauses. Sometimes, the clauses can exchange positions, though these exchanges do not always result in structural and syntactic changes. We should also bear in mind that all the possible sequences of clauses of a complex sentence are not equally
significant, neither structurally nor syntactically. The sequence of clauses mainly depends on the types of hypotactic structure, as well as on sentence context.
