On the So-Called Semantic and Grammatical Structure ofthe Sentence*
      Milo? Dokulil and Franti-ek Dane?
      In recent years syntactic investigations have undergone new revival anddevelopment．Besides syntheric works，also a series of valuable contribu-fions in iournals and miscdlanies has appeared．However，it must be statedtllatthisdevelopment suffersfromahighmethodological，notional andalsoterminologicaldisparity，andoftenevenfromalackofclearanalysis．Thuswe are convinced that in the given situation it is necessary and urgent toreconsider the general questions of sentence structure，to aim at a clarification of the basic notions and of the principles of the procedure of syntacticanalysis．In this contribution we certainly do not try to present a definitivesolution to the given questions；rather．ideas are presented for discussion．We take up insights of older scholars．a(chǎn)nd attempt to clarify the principalviewpoints which should be used as starting points for the analysis ofsyntax．
