In the Russian language there is a flexible system for classifying sentences: one-part and two-part, complete and incomplete, simple and complex, exclamation and non-exclamation, and many others - depending on the characteristics. In terms of prevalence, proposals are divided into widespread and non-widespread. The latter are used infrequently, but it is by no means impossible to ignore them, because this is far from the least important topic in the grammar of the complex Russian language.
General definition
Uncommon sentences in Russian are sentences consisting only of a grammatical basis. They do not have secondary members: circumstances, additions, definitions. Such proposals, as a rule, are extremely concise and simple both in structure and in meaning.
They can be two-part (consist of subject and predicate) or one-part (only of subject or only of predicate). They can also be exclamatory and non-exclamatory and even complicated by homogeneous members.
Features of use
Non-common sentences, despite the simplicity and even some primitiveness, have a whole list of useful functions. For instance:
- They help to focus the reader’s attention on a certain thought or idea, to give it weight and the corresponding pathetic sound.
- When describing actions, such sentences add dynamics, tension, help in describing suspense (tension, anxiety) and captivate the reader.
- Characters speaking non-common sentences often sound weighty, strict, solid and representative. Each such replica can rightfully be considered a strong statement.
- Unapproved sentences are not descriptive. The authors use them to provide the reader with the opportunity to show imagination and independently think out the details.
Of course, it is impossible to unambiguously determine the entire list of numerous advantages and functions. Each author comes to his own style and finds his charm in non-distributed sentences. All this is exclusively subjective, and the listed stylistic tricks are only a regularity discovered by critics, but not an unambiguous rule.
Examples of use
Theory is not able to convince anyone of the artistic value of one or another structure of the Russian language. Here are a few examples of uncommon sentences that prove their wealth and importance in Russian literature.
| Two-part uncomplicated sentences | - It was raining.
- The sun has set.
- The trees were whispering.
- Adults did not sleep
|
| Two-part complicated sentences | - We sat, basked and talked.
- Both children and adults were happy.
- Trees, bushes and grasses turned green, bloomed and smelled
|
| One-piece sentences | - It was getting light.
- Silence

Although the subject + predicate structure seems primitive, it still allows the creation of real works of art. And complementing the proposal with homogeneous members, you can not only enrich it, but make it no less detailed and interesting than the widespread one.
