Homogeneous and heterogeneous definitions

The same word in a sentence can have several definitions, which can be homogeneous and heterogeneous. It is necessary to learn to distinguish between these two types of definitions, since homogeneous definitions in writing are separated by commas, and between heterogeneous definitions comma is not included.

1. Homogeneous definitions are pronounced with enumerative intonation and characterize the object on the one hand: by color, shape, size, and so on.

In the morning the sun hits the gazebo through the purple, lilac, green and lemon foliage.(Paustovsky).

In this sentence, there are four definitions for the word FOLIAGE, they are homogeneous, since everyone names a color and is pronounced with an enumeration intonation.

Heterogeneous definitions characterize an object from different angles and are pronounced without enumerative intonation, for example:

It was an unbearably hot July day(Turgenev).

The definition HOT tells us about the weather, and the definition JULY tells us what month this day was in.

Please note that homogeneous definitions can be connected by coordinating unions, and if there are no unions, then they can be easily inserted. Compare the three sentences below.

He spoke German, French, English language.
He spoke German, French and English.
He spoke German, French and English.

2. Homogeneous definitions cannot be expressed by adjectives belonging to different lexical categories.

If definitions are expressed as adjectives, then you can determine whether they need to be separated by commas in the following way. It is known that adjectives are divided into three categories: quality, relative and possessive . If one word has definitions expressed by adjectives of different categories, then these definitions will be heterogeneous.

On the porch stands his old woman inexpensive sableshower jacket(Pushkin).

The word DUSHEGREYKA has two definitions: EXPENSIVE (qualitative adjective) and SOBOLEY (relative adjective).

3. Definitions are considered heterogeneous if one definition is expressed by a pronoun or numeral, and the other by an adjective.

Consider the examples in the illustration.

Why don't you wearhis newdress?
Finally we waitedfirst warmdays.

4. Sometimes in works of art there may be sentences in which there are commas between the definitions characterizing the subject from different sides.

Read the sentences from the works of I. A. Bunin and A. P. Chekhov. In them, the authors strive to create a single, holistic view of an object or phenomenon, and such definitions can be considered homogeneous.

Has comerainy, dirty, darkautumn(Chekhov).
Clear days have changedcold, bluish-gray, soundless(Bunin).

Punctuation in sentences with homogeneous members connected by coordinating conjunctions

Coordinating conjunctions in Russian speech are divided into three categories: connecting, separating and adversative.

Meaning connecting unions can be conditionally designated by the phrase: "BOTH THIS AND THAT". They connect two homogeneous members to each other. Meaning separating unions can be defined as: "OR THAT, OR THIS." Such unions indicate the possibility of only one homogeneous member from several, or their alternation. Meaning adversarial unions is expressed differently: "NOT THAT, BUT THAT". Opposing unions oppose one homogeneous member to another. Consider examples of unions of each category in the illustration.

Please note that the union YES is written both in the column with connecting unions and in the column with opposing unions. The fact is that it can be used in two meanings. Compare two sayings: Without thread Yes do not sew fur coat needles and Small spool, Yes roads. In the first saying, the union YES can be replaced by AND, and in the second - by BUT.

Some coordinating conjunctions consist of several words, for example, HOW ... SO AND; NOT ONLY ... BUT AND. Such unions are called composite.

The placement of commas in sentences where homogeneous members are connected by coordinating unions depends on which category they belong to.

Before coordinating unions connecting homogeneous members, a comma is placed in three cases:

1) if in a sentence homogeneous members are connected by an opposing union:
red berry,Yes tastes bitter. The task is difficultbut interesting;

2) if homogeneous members are connected by repeated unions:
Noisy in the forest aloneand creepy,and fun(Fet);

3) if homogeneous members are connected by compound unions:
There will be a holidayNot only today,but also tomorrow..

Now let's turn to the cases when there is no need to put a comma before unions connecting homogeneous members.

1. If homogeneous members are connected by a single connecting or dividing union, for example:

Minnows splashed in the gardenand perch.
In this forest on the pines you can see a squirrelor woodpecker.

2. If unions combine homogeneous members into pairs, for example:

He had a lot of knives in his collection. and daggers, pistols and guns, decorated with precious stones.

3. If two homogeneous members are connected by repeated unions, but form a stable combination: AND DAY AND NIGHT, AND LAUGHTER AND SIN, NO YES NO NO, NO TWO NO ONE AND A HALF, NO BACK OR FORWARD and others.

We were awakenedneither lightneither dawn.

Punctuation marks in sentences with generalizing words

Read the offer carefully.

Coniferous trees grew near the housetrees: spruces, pines, firs.

In this example, there are four subjects, but it is impossible to call them all homogeneous, because the first of them - the word TREES - combines the following ones in its meaning, or, conversely, the last three subjects specify, clarify the meaning of the first. Between the first subject and subsequent ones, you can insert the question: "Which ones?".

If one of the words in the sentence is specified, specified by a number of homogeneous members, then such a word is called generalizing . Please note: the generalizing word is the same member of the sentence as the homogeneous members.

Generalizing words in sentences can be expressed by different parts of speech, but pronouns are used most often in this capacity, for example:

Neither a noble family, nor beauty, nor strength, nor wealth - nothing can escape trouble(Pushkin) or It has always been like this: a hundred and three hundred years ago.

Generalizing words can also be expressed as whole phrases, for example:

Every day he began to bring old Moseichvarious large fish : pike, ide, chub, tench, perch(Aksakov).

In this sentence, the combination DIFFERENT BIG FISH will be generalizing.

In sentences with generalizing words, punctuation marks are placed in accordance with the rule of three main points.

1. If a generalizing word is in front of homogeneous members, then a colon is placed after it.

yellow maple leaves layeverywhere : machines.

2. If the generalizing word is after homogeneous members, then a dash is placed before it.

On paths, on benches, on rooftops machines – everywhere lay yellow maple leaves.

3. If the generalizing word is in front of the homogeneous members, and after them the sentence continues, then a colon is placed after the generalizing word, and a dash after the homogeneous members.

Everywhere : on paths, on benches, on rooftops machines – lying yellow maple leaves.

Is there a comma before "or"? You will find the answer to the question posed in the materials of this article. In addition, you will learn about whether or not to put commas before "what" and "how".

general information

Surely you know that the official part of speech is called the union. Thanks to it, a connection is made between individual sentences in the text, its parts or words. However, not everyone knows when a comma is placed in front of them, and when not. In order to master this information, we present to your attention a few basic rules.

When is a comma placed before "or" and when not?

The union "or" is a divisive conjunction. Sometimes it is preceded by a comma, and sometimes not. Let's look at both cases in more detail:

Now you know when a comma is placed before "or" and when not. The presented rules will help you correctly compose a letter or any text.

Other unions

It should be especially noted that problems with punctuation arise not only when using the union “or”, but also when using the words “what” and “how”. Let's consider these cases in more detail.

When should you not put a comma before "what"?

When is a comma placed?

When should you put a comma before "how"?

A comma is placed before "how" in 3 cases:

If this union is included in expressions that are close in their role to as a rule, as a consequence, as an exception, as now, as always, as now, as on purpose, as for example. Let's give an example: "In the evening, as if on purpose, a blizzard began", "This, as a rule, does not happen very often", "He, as always, was late for the meeting."
If all parts are connected by this union. Let's give an example: "We watched the water flow for a long time", "They watched the embers smolder in the fire for a long time."
If the sentence contains a circumstance that is expressed starting with this union. Let's give an example: "The voice of the boy rang like a bell", "The girl sang like a nightingale."

Important to remember!

If any offer continues even after the turnover with this union, then it should definitely be isolated. For example: "He watched the water flow for a long time, unable to tear himself away from such a sight."

When should a comma not be used?

Sentences with such a union are not separated by commas in 5 cases:

Important to remember!

The given word can be used as compound union“as ... so and”, “since” and revolutions “since”, “since”, etc. In these cases, a comma should not be put. Here are examples: “All the windows in the palace and in ordinary houses are open”, “He did not take food with him and now he regretted it very much, since he already wanted to eat.”

1. Homogeneous members are members of a sentence that usually answer the same question and are associated with the same word in the sentence.

Homogeneous Members- these are the same members of the sentence, united with each other by a coordinating connection.

Homogeneous members can be both main and minor members suggestions.

For example: Forest humus and moss absorb this rain slowly, thoroughly(Paustovsky). This sentence has two rows of homogeneous members: homogeneous subjects humus and moss correlate with one predicate - absorb; homogeneous circumstances of the course of action slowly, thoroughly depend on the predicate ( absorb(how?) slowly, thoroughly).

2. Homogeneous members are usually expressed by the same part of speech.

Wed: humus and moss- nouns in the nominative case.

But homogeneous members can also be morphologically heterogeneous:

A young man entered twenty five years old, sparkling with health, . In this sentence, among homogeneous definitions, the first is expressed by a nominal phrase in the genitive case ( twenty five years old ), the second - participial turnover ( sparkling with health ), the third - a combination of three nouns in the instrumental case with the preposition with with a dependent participle ( with laughing cheeks, lips and eyes ).

Note. Sometimes a coordinative connection can also connect dissimilar members of a sentence, for example: It is not known who and how spread the news of the death of the old Sokzhoy throughout the taiga.(Fedoseev). The allied words in the subordinate clause are different members of the sentence (subject who and circumstance of action how, but they are connected by a coordinating union and).

Note!

Are not homogeneous members of the proposal:

1) repetitive words used to emphasize a variety of objects, the duration of an action, its repetition, etc.

We were definitely floating in the air and spinning, spinning, spinning; White fragrant daisies run under his feet back, back(Kuprin).

Such combinations of words are considered as a single member of the sentence;

2) repeating identical shapes connected by a particle not, so: believe it or not, try not try, write like this write, work like this work;

3) combinations of two verbs, of which the first is lexically incomplete: I'll take it and tell you, I took it and complained, I'll go and see etc.;

4) stable combinations with double unions, between which a comma is not placed (!):

neither back nor forth, for nothing, neither fish nor meat, neither sleep nor spirit, and laughter and sin, and this and that and etc.

3. Homogeneous members are connected by intonation (union-free connection) and composing unions or only intonation. If homogeneous members are separated by a comma, then commas are placed only between them. Commas are not put before the first homogeneous member, after the last homogeneous member (!).

Punctuation marks with homogeneous members

A) unionless connection- comma between homogeneous members put.

For example: He wept and stomped feet(M. Gorky); Somewhere along the road comes across a gloomy willow or young birch (L. Tolstoy).

Note. Conjunctions and, yes, yes, and can have an attached meaning (meaning "and moreover"). These unions introduce not homogeneous, but connecting members of the sentence. In this case, a comma is placed before the union. Wed: People laughed at him, and rightly(Panova). - People laughed at him, and rightly so; What can you order a sculptor to do, and even a bad one(Turgenev). - What can you order a sculptor to do, and a bad one at that?

C) Repeating connecting unions(and... and; neither... neither) and repeated separating unions (or or; or either; then ... then; not that... not that put.

and O, and O; neither O nor O; then oh then oh

For example: No more land, no trees, no sky; But Vasily Lvovich either did not hear her words, or did not attach real significance to them.(Kuprin).

Note!

1) If unions are repeated, then punctuation marks are placed in the same way as with an union-free connection, that is, between homogeneous members (there is no comma before the first homogeneous member and after the last homogeneous member!).

Wed: No more land, no trees, no sky. - The earth, trees, sky were no longer visible.

2) A comma is placed between all homogeneous members also in the case when only a part of them is connected by repeated unions, and the rest are connected by an unionless part.

Wed: He is blind, stubborn, impatient, and frivolous, and puffy(Pushkin). - He is blind, stubborn, impatient, frivolous, arrogant.

3) If the union connects homogeneous members in pairs, then a comma is placed only before paired groups.

I'm happy and strong, free and young(Bryusov).

Pair unions can be connected by a repeating union and.

Mines exploded both close and far, both to the right and to the left.

4) With two homogeneous members with a repeating union, a comma may not be placed if the homogeneous members form a close semantic unity (such homogeneous members do not have explanatory words):

and brothers and sisters, and parents and children, and body and soul, and poetry and prose, and days and nights, and knives and forks and etc.

Most often, such unities form antonymic pairs:

and glory and shame, and love and hate, and joy and sorrow and etc.

5) The comma is not placed inside whole phraseological phrases with two repeating unions and or neither:

and day and night, and laughter and sorrow, and old and young, and this way and that, and here and there, no more, no less, neither back nor forth, neither alive nor dead, neither yes nor no, neither day nor night, no end, no edge, no fluff, no feather, no fish, no meat, neither one nor the other, neither add nor subtract and etc.

6) If the union is repeated in the sentence not with homogeneous members, then a comma is not placed between them.

At home and at work, he searched and did not find peace(the first union and connects the circumstances of the place: at home and at work; the second union and connects homogeneous predicates: searched and did not find).

D) Opposing alliances(a, but, but, yes = but, however = but) - a comma between homogeneous members put.

Oh, a Oh; Oh but Oh; Oh, but Oh; Oh but Oh

For example: At a glance, he is good, yes green(Krylov); Now the sea shone not entirely, but only in several places (Kataev); Our shelter is small, but calm(Lermontov).

Note!

1) After the last homogeneous member connected by an adversative union, a comma is not put.

Not a clan, but I will put the mind in governors(Pushkin).

2) Union, however, must be distinguished from introductory word however : the conjunction however can be replaced by the synonymous conjunction but . If however is a union, then a comma is placed just before it.

Wed: The task was not difficult, but laborious. - The task was not difficult, but time-consuming.

If, however, is an introductory word, then commas are placed on both sides.

He, however, remained calm.

D) Double and double unions (if not... then; if not..., so; though... but also; as ..., and; not only but; not so much ... as; as much ... as far as; not that ... but; not that ... but) - comma between homogeneous members put.

For example: The glow spread not only over the city center, but also far around(Fadeev); I have an order both from the judge and from all our acquaintances to reconcile you with your friend(Gogol); For Alevtina Vasilievna, although familiar, the power of Yerofey Kuzmich was heavy(Bubenkov).

Note!

1) Homogeneous members with double and pair unions are separated by only one comma, which is placed before the second part of the union. Neither before the first homogeneous member nor after the last homogeneous member is a comma placed. In order not to make a mistake in punctuation marks, omit the double union: a comma is placed between homogeneous members, as in an unionless connection.

Wed: The glow spread not only above the city center, but also far around. - The glow has spread above the city center, far around ; I have an order both from the judge and from all our acquaintances to reconcile you with your friend. - I have an order from the judge, from all our acquaintances, to reconcile you with your friend; For Alevtina Vasilievna, although familiar, the power of Yerofei Kuzmich was heavy. - For Alevtina Vasilievna, the power of Yerofei Kuzmich was habitual, heavy.

2) Parts of some double and pair unions have homonyms - subordinating unions used in subordinate clauses: if, though, how, what, to. subordinate clauses(with these and other unions), if they are inside the main sentence, are separated by commas on both sides.

Wed: Then I, in order to calm down a little, took up the book; Then I though my thoughts were in the laboratory, took up the book.

Therefore, when arranging punctuation marks, be sure to pay attention to what these forms are (a subordinating conjunction or part of a double and pair union) and what they connect (homogeneous members or a main clause with a subordinate clause).

Note. Unions and also, and even can have an associated meaning (meaning "and moreover"). Please note that after the second homogeneous member of a sentence with such a union, a comma is not placed. For example: It happens difficult and even impossible deal with the situation immediately.

4. Homogeneous members can be combined with a generalizing word. generalizing word is the same member of the sentence as other homogeneous members, answers the same question, but has a generalizing meaning:

a generalizing word denotes a whole, and homogeneous members denote parts of this whole:

Behind the village from the hill was visible city: block squares, brick buildings , flood gardens , spiers of churches(Sholokhov);

generalizing word means generic ( general concept), and homogeneous members are species (more particular concepts):

screamed piercingly bird: roosters, geese, turkeys(Fadeev).

Generalizing words are expressed by different parts of speech, but most often by pronouns and pronominal adverbs and nouns:

Punctuation marks for homogeneous members with generalizing words

Punctuation marks for homogeneous members with generalizing words depend on the position of the generalizing word in relation to homogeneous members and on the position of homogeneous members together with the generalizing word in the sentence as a whole.

BUT) If the generalizing word is in front of homogeneous members, then the first homogeneous term is preceded by colon. : above your head, under your feet and next to you - lives, rumbles, celebrating his victories, iron (M. Gorky).

For example: But no fences, no houses - nothing hasn't changed like people(Chekhov).

Note!

If after the homogeneous members before the generalizing word there is an introductory word ( in a word, in a word, in short etc.), then a dash is placed before the introductory word, and a comma is placed after the introductory word.

He sings about the scythe, about the arable land, about the harvest, about the sweat of labor - in a word, about everything that we, decent people, are used to looking down on(Saltykov-Shchedrin).

Parsing Plan for Homogeneous Members

Indicate which members of the sentence are homogeneous members and what grammatical forms they are expressed.
Indicate how homogeneous members are interconnected (unionless connection, allied connection - a type of union or unions).
If there is a generalizing word, indicate its position in relation to homogeneous members (before or after homogeneous members).
Punctuation marks with homogeneous members.

Sample parsing

Everywhere: above your head, under your feet and next to you - lives, rumbles, celebrating its victories, iron(M. Gorky).

This sentence is complicated by homogeneous circumstances of place, expressed by nouns in the oblique case with a preposition ( overhead, underfoot) and adverb ( beside). The first two circumstances are connected by an allied relationship, therefore they are separated by a comma ( overhead, underfoot). The second and third circumstances are connected by a single connecting union and, therefore, a comma is not separated ( under your feet and next to). Homogeneous members carry a generalizing word ( everywhere) expressed by pronominal adverbs. The generalizing word is in front of homogeneous members, so a colon is placed after it. Since the sentence does not end with homogeneous members, a dash is placed after them.
