Sentence examples for subordinate sentences from inspiring English sources

However, patients make disproportionately more errors than controls to subordinate sentences.

When the disambiguating word was inconsistent with the initially preferred reading (in the subordinate sentences) additional activity was seen in right BA 45 (and 47) and left posterior middle temporal gyrus (Fig. 2C).

Their preferences are necessarily weaker, resulting in a less marked difference between the processing of dominant and subordinate sentences compared with controls, and perhaps generally less stable syntactic representations possibly contributing to the left inferior parietal lobule activations discussed below.

Although there is a larger proportion of acceptable compared with unacceptable continuations, any potential response bias arising from this should decrease the proportion of unacceptable judgements to the subordinate sentences, thereby biasing against our prediction that this condition should generate the largest number of unacceptable responses.

Both dominant- and subordinate-interpretation sentences for each ambiguous phrase were included in the experimental stimuli (42 of each, in the dominant and subordinate conditions, respectively).

To the extent that a patient has intact syntactic processing capacities, they will similarly make more unacceptable judgements to subordinate than dominant sentences and to ambiguous than unambiguous sentences.

For subsequent analyses involving neural measures we summarized their performance by calculating the difference in percent of unacceptable judgements between subordinate and dominant sentences (dominance effect) and between ambiguous and unambiguous sentences (ambiguity effect).

This resulted in a crossed design with two factors: sentence dominant vs. sentence subordinate and probe dominant vs. probe subordinate.

Similarly, higher rates of unacceptable judgements for subordinate than dominant sentences also reflect sensitivity to syntax.

On conviction by a subordinate court, he was sentenced to a total of four months' imprisonment and six strokes of the cane.

I used to think in long compound sentences with subordinate clauses and even the odd polysyllable.
