英语词汇sentence的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

sentence. A sentence is defined as “a grammatical unit that is syntactically independent and has a subject that is expressed (or, as in imperative sentences, understood) and a predicate that contains at least one finite verb.” Gates of Paradise by George Andrzeyevski (Panther, 1957) is a book with no punc- tuation and technically might be said to be one long sentence. The 1942–43 Report of the President of Columbia University contained a sentence of 4,284 words. Sylvester Hassell’s History of the Church of God (ca. 1884) has a sentence of 3,153 words (with 360 commas and 86 semicolons) that is regarded as the longest legitimate sentence in a book. James Joyce, William Faulkner, and many other writers have written long “sentences” with no punctuation, but the longest legitimate sentence in a highly regarded literary work is a 958-word monster in Marcel Proust’s Cities of the Plain.
