   独立主格的概念

  独立主格是什么?独立主格结构(Absolute Structure)是由名词或代词加上分词等构成的一种独立结构,用于修饰整个句子。独立主格结构中的名词或代词与其后的分词等构成逻辑上的主谓关系。这种结构与主句不发生句法上的联系,它的位置相当灵活,可置于主句前、主句末或主句中,常由逗号将其与主句分开。在句中作状语,相当于一个状语从句。需特别注意的是,独立主格结构与主句之间不能使用任何连接词。
  独立主格结构基本标配
  名词(代词)+现在分词;名词(代词)+过去分词;名词(代词)+不定式;名词(代词)+形容词;名词(代词)+副词;名词(代词)+名词;名词(代词)+介词短语
