Clause Types

Edit

Clause types are categories of clauses distinguished according to their syntactic structure, communicative function, or grammatical properties, such as declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamative forms. In natural language processing, clause types are identified through linguistic features, including word order, grammatical markers, clause structure, and the relationships between syntactic constituents. Their classification depends on the grammatical framework and the criteria adopted for distinguishing clause forms and functions [1][2].
