What are the word combinations?
At syntactic analysis of the phraseit is necessary to pay attention to the structure, the way of expression of components and the semantic relationships of the words entering into it. Acquaintance with groups and types of word combinations will help to make a complete description of this unit of speech.

Phrases are more specifically called objects,signs, quantity and actions, the words in them form a semantic and grammatical unity. Phrases, differing from sentences, do not indicate a complete thought. They can be called the building material, from which the proposals are composed. Closely related way of subordination, the main and dependent parts can be expressed in words of different parts of speech. Set the types of word combinations, following a certain sequence of actions.
2
Determine the ratio of the main word toa certain part of speech. Thus, set the appearance of the word combination by the way the main word is expressed. It will be nominal at the words represented by nominal parts of speech. Consider examples of such phrases: "peasant reform" (n.), "Useful (adj.) To people", "twelve (number) months", "something (places) inexplicable". In verb phrases the place of the main word is occupied by verbs, participles and gerunds: "earn (gl.) Authority", "fluttering (prich.) In the wind", "looking up (deedprich.)." There are also adverbial phrases: "in summer heat," "near the road."

Like the secondary members in the sentencedetermine the groups by the semantic relationships between parts of the phrase. They designate the sign of identifying items ("state symbols", "anxious glance"); point to a feature of the action circumstantial ("strongly refuse", "advance blindly"); the action that passes to the object corresponds to the objective ("disappear beyond the horizon," "spread through the cities," "amusing the audience").
4
A simple or compound phrase is definedthe number of words entering into it. The composition of the simple includes two independent words ("a handsome young man", "cooperation with newspapers"), a complex one - three or more ("location of useful information": the main part is "placement", dependent - "useful information").
5
Words can differently communicate with each other. Free association of words having their own meaning is possible in syntactically free word combinations ("to welcome the winner", "rising high"). In syntactically non-free - the components of the combination represent a semantic unity and decompose them into composite units is impossible. The meaning of the whole word combinations is different: an indication of the number of objects ("fifteen drawings"), the expression of selectivity values ("two out of ten"), uncertainty ("somewhere in the distance"), compatibility ("grandmother with grandchildren"), etc. In the sentence, the meaning of wholeness can acquire phrases like: "a baby with brown eyes", "a woman of small stature."

Some scholars refer to the series of homogeneous members of the sentence to the word combinations.
