Punctuation marks in the Russian language play a significant role. Everyone, probably, remembers an example from childhood: “you can’t have mercy on execution”. Depending on where the comma will be, the meaning of the sentence can change dramatically. Therefore, it is very important in the course of studying the basic course of the Russian language to remember in which cases one or another punctuation mark will be appropriate. In the article we will analyze what punctuation marks stand out.
What is the appeal
First you need to understand what this grammatical concept is in general and how to see it in the text. First of all, it denotes the one to whom the speech is addressed. Most often it can be found in works of art. For example, in character dialogs. When one hero turns to another. Also, conversion is not uncommon in imperative sentences. Most often it is expressed by a noun in the nominative case. However, other parts of speech may also occur in this role.
What punctuation marks does a treatment stand for
It is worth remembering that the treatment must be highlighted with commas. They seem to focus on who they are addressing. If in a written speech a comma is a punctuation mark in sentences with an appeal that distinguishes it, then in oral speech an intonation accent is put on it. But this article will be more relevant to writing. How are punctuation marks applied when handling? This will depend on what part of the proposal it is in.
Start of offer
In this paragraph, we will consider how punctuation marks will be used when handling, if it is at the very beginning of the sentence.
Example:
- Mom, can I go for a walk?
“Yes, of course, but not for long.”
In circuits, the reference is conventionally indicated by the letter "O".
Here the noun “mother” acts as the address, since it is precisely it that designates the one to whom the further speech is addressed. According to the rules of the Russian language, if the appeal is at the beginning, then a comma is placed immediately after it. It is worth remembering that it is not a member of the proposal. That is, one cannot ask a clarifying question to him. The treatment is separated by a comma and is not included in the grammatical basis.
Mid sentence
How are punctuation marks applied when handling, if it is in the middle of a sentence?
Example:
“But have you not forgotten your notebook here, Tanya?”
“Yes, exactly me.”
In this example, the noun “Tanya” played the role of appeal. It designated the one to whom the speech is addressed. Since the address is in the middle of the sentence, it will be highlighted with commas on both sides.
End of sentence
Obviously, the appeal can be at the very end of the sentence. But it must also be isolated. How, in this case, will the punctuation mark be applied when handling?
- I love you, Mom!
- And I love you.
It can be seen from the example that the one who is being addressed is denoted by the word “mother,” and the comma is in front of him.
Special cases
Can there be punctuation marks other than commas when handling? Yes, they can, but it happens not so often. Basically, such examples can be found in fiction. If the appeal is at the beginning of the phrase, and it should be pronounced with exclamatory intonation, then an exclamation mark may follow it.
But this rule is valid only at the beginning of the sentence. Only commas are used in the middle. At the end of the sentence can be any sign that requires meaning and intonation.
Often confusion arises with personal pronouns. For example, when the sentences meet the words "you" or "you." It may seem that they are acting as appeals. But most often they are subject. This is easy to verify if you remember in time that the appeal is not a member of the proposal.
But sometimes there are times when these pronouns can really indicate the one to whom the speech is addressed. Or they may be part of the appeal (and it is not always expressed in one word).
Example:
- Stir, you!
Or:
“Well, what do you think of this, my dear?”
But such situations are infrequent.
There may also be doubts when several appeals occur in one sentence. In this case, it is worth remembering that each of them needs to be highlighted with a comma.
So, we examined the basic rules for the placement of punctuation marks when handling in Russian. The main thing that you need to pay attention to is in what part of the sentence is the part of speech that indicates the one to whom the remaining words are intended.
