6. Mixed type of composite sentences 
Not every sentence we come across in a text or in oral speech is bound to be 
either syndetic or asyndetic, either compound or complex, etc. Several or all of 
these characteristics can be found in a sentence at the same time. It can contain 
several clauses, some of them connected with each other syndetically, that is, by 
conjunctions or connective words, while others are connected asyndetically, that is, 
without any such words; some of the clauses are co-ordinated with each other, 
while others are subordinate, so that another part of the whole sentence is complex, 
etc. The amount of variations is probably unlimited. Such sentences are often 
referred to as mixed sentences. Prof. Blokh uses the term 
complex-compound 
sentence
(or compound-complex sentence) to name a sentence that consists of 
multiple independent clauses, at least one of which has at least one dependent 
clause.
e.g. 
Though
Lois was very jauntily attired in an expensively appropriate 
travelling affair, she did not linger to pat out the dust 
which
covered her clothes, 
but
started up the central walk with curious glances at either side. Her face was 
very eager and expectant, 
yet
she hadn’t at all that glorified expression 
that
girls 
wear 
when
they arrive for a Senior Prom at Princeton or New Haven; 
still
, as there 
were no senior proms here, perhaps it didn’t matter. (F. S. Fitzgerald)
