These are interrelated with one another on a basis which is grammatically coordinate or subordinate and, in consequence of this, some grammarians prefer to think of the largest grammatical unit as being a grouping or complex of clauses, a 'clause complex', rather than a sentence.
Thereafter each of the units is described in terms of its relationship with the other units. All five units are arranged hierarchically, from the largest down to the smallest, on a scale of rank. Each unit except the largest has been defined by its function in the structure of the unit next above, and conversely each unit except the smallest has been described as being composed of one or more units of the rank below. g. exams, finished, after, consists of one or more morphemes, viz. g. g.
