Homogeneous and heterogeneous definitions

Few definitions for one definable noun are not alwayshomogeneous members of the proposal and therefore do not always share commas. The distinction between homogeneous and heterogeneous definitions is one of the most difficult topics in the school program. Below are lists of signs of homogeneous and heterogeneous definitions, further in the section "Punctuation marks for homogeneous and heterogeneous definitions" some of them are considered in more detail and are accompanied by examples.

Signs of homogeneity of definitions(briefly) :

  • indicate signs of homogeneous objects: blue, yellowish, reddish balls;
  • designate signs that are synonymous in terms of context: mighty, violent, loud downpour;
  • designate signs that are interdependent in terms of context (= because, because): lunar, clear evening (= clear, as lunar);
  • designate artistic images, metaphors: leaden, extinguished eyes;
  • there is a semantic gradation: satisfied, solemn, radiant mood;
  • a single definition is placed in front of a common one: an empty, snow-covered field;
  • placed after the word being defined: a woman is young, beautiful, good, intelligent, attractive;
  • indicate a personal characteristic (optional feature): a tiny, golden cloud; long, narrow carpet;
  • in a position after the word being defined: the clouds are round, highest, golden-gray, with delicate snow-white edges.
  • Signs of heterogeneity of definitions(briefly):

  • designate the shape and material: pot-bellied walnut bureau;
  • indicate color and shape: snow-white round clouds;
  • designate the size and material: huge stone abodes;
  • designate quality and location: a gloomy Siberian river.
  • Punctuation marks athomogeneous and heterogeneous definitions.

    1. A comma is placed between homogeneous definitions that are not connected by unions.

    Definitions are homogeneous, in that case

    a) denote features various items: Reddish, snow-white, pink, yellowish carnations made a beautiful bouquet;

    b) denote different features of the 1st and the same object, characterizing it on the one hand: A strange, sharp, sick cry was suddenly heard twice in a row over the river;

    c) each of the definitions directly refers to the noun being defined, and therefore between them there is the possibility of sticking a creative alliance "And". Wed: spotless, measured light of the moon (spotless and measured light of the moon); a cup of thick, strong coffee (a cup of thick and strong coffee) and so on.

    Notes:

  • homogeneous definitions can also characterize an object from different angles, in that case, with all this in terms of context they are connected together by some common feature (the similarity of the memory they produce, appearance, etc.): He held out his reddish, swollen, stained hand to me; Languid, cool clouds lay on the tops of the nearby mountains; Grayish strands gleamed in thick, black hair; pale, serious face; joyful, benevolent laughter; deserted, inhospitable house; tender, lively eyes; proud, brave look; dry, chapped lips; heavy, angry feeling; greyish, continuous, light rain etc.;
  • most of all, they are homogeneous artistic definitions(epithets): His pale blue, glassy eyes;
  • homogeneous also synonymous(in terms of context) definitions: quiet, temperate river; taciturn, timid, shy girl. In a series of similar definitions, each of the following can strengthen the sign they express, forming a semantic gradation: There was a contented, solemn, radiant mood; In autumn, the steppes completely change and get their own unusual, special, incomparable look.;
  • in the role of homogeneous definitions are usually adjective followed by participial phrase:An old man with a bushy, graying beard entered.;
  • most of all, homogeneous agreed definitions, standing after the defined word: On the winter road, a boring three greyhound runs. Exception are combinations of terminological character: pipes are thin-walled electrowelded corrosion-proof; late winter pear;
  • homogeneous are definitions that are opposed to a combination of other definitions with the same defined word: Six months later, long, cool nights give way to quiet, warm.
  • 2. A comma is not placed between heterogeneous definitions.

    Definitions are heterogeneous, in that case characterize the object from different angles: big stone house(size and material); white round stones(color and shape); beautiful Moscow boulevards(quality and location), etc. Such definitions can become homogeneous, in which case they are connected together common feature: Our terrace now stands on new, brick pillars.(the unifying feature is “strong”).

    Notes:

  • heterogeneous definitions are often expressed by a combination of high-quality and relative adjectives: new leather briefcase, fascinating children's book, warm July night, bright birch grove, transparent window panes and so on.;
  • less commonly heterogeneous definitions consist of a combination of high-quality adjectives: an old gloomy house, rare editions worthy of attention.
