Simple sentence: constituent structure 
The basic predicative meanings of the typical English sentence, as has 
already been pointed out, are expressed by the finite verb which is immediately 
connected with the subject of the sentence. This predicative connection is 
commonly referred to as the «predicative line» of the sentence. Depending on 
their predicative complexity, sentences can feature one predicative line or 
several (more than one) predicative lines; in other words, sentences may be, 
respectively, 
«monopredicative»
and 
«polypredicative»
. 
Using 
this 
distinction, we must say that the simple sentence is a sentence in which only 
one predicative line is expressed. 
E.g.:
Bob has never 
left 
the stadium. Opinions 
differ. 
This 
may happen 
any 
time. Etc.

The simple sentence, as any sentence in general, is organized as a system of 
function-expressing positions, the content of the functions being the reflection of 
a situational event. The nominative parts of the simple sentence, each occupying 
a notional position in it, are subject, predicate, object, adverbial, attribute, 
parenthetical enclosure, addressing enclosure; a special, semi-notional position 
is occupied by an interjectional enclosure. The parts are arranged in a hierarchy, 
wherein all of them perform some modifying role. The ultimate and highest 
object of this integral modification is the sentence as a whole, and through the 
sentence, the reflection of the situation (situational event). 
The traditional scheme of sentence parsing shows many essential traits of 
the said functional hierarchy. On the scheme presented graphically, sentence-
