У статті розглянуто становлення теорії синтаксичного зв'язку в українському мовознавстві (ХVІІ - початок ХХ ст.). Особлива увага зосереджена на трьох етапах розвитку досліджень синтаксичних зв'язків - з 17-го століття до 1930-х років.
In Ukrainian linguistics, there are no historiographical papers offering
an adequate description of the origin and development of the syntactic
connection theory. Elsewhere, I have already proposed a periodization of
the research on syntactic connections from the time of the appearance of
first Slavic grammars until today, which distinguishes five historical stages.
The purpose of this analysis is to characterize particularly the first three
periods of the development of research on syntactic connections – from
the 17th century until the 1930s.
The first stage (17th–18th centuries) is the beginning of the syntactic
connection theory. The syntactic chapters in the grammars of this period
deal with studying the ability of some parts of speech to combine with other
words. The second stage (19th century) is the period of approval of terminology
and formation of the ground for deepening the syntactic connection theory.
All scholars of the period defined two possible realizations of the syntactic
connection – agreement and government. The third stage (the beginning of
the 20th century until the 1930s) was the period in which the morphological criterion prevailed. The typical symptom of this observed in the period is
consideration of syntactic connections between pairs of words in isolation
from the rest of the sentence components.
The crucial research perspective opened up by the study is to explain in
detail the development of research on syntactic connections from the 1940s
until today.
