The Interdepency Relations in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Short Story Crazy Sunday

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes an analysis of the interdependency relations in F. Scott Fitzgerald”s story Crazy Sunday. When we analyse the interdependency relations of a clause complex we refer to the ideational metafunction of language and to the ways in which a clause can combine with further clauses in order to form a clause complex. Clauses within complexes are interrelated grammatically in two systems, taxis and logico-semantic. In this paper we are going to discuss only the taxis system that is concerned with the interdependency relations between grammatical units forming a complex or between groups forming a group complex or between clauses forming a text. We are going to use the systemic functional approach, taking into consideration the metafunction of language, pointing out the fact that, within this approach, combined clauses do not form a grammatical unit as within the traditional approach.
