2. Academic Writing &
Subordination
In academic writing you are judged by
your ability to analyze, organize and
articulate ideas.
These tasks are thought processes
that can’t be isolated from the writing
process.
In many ways, we don’t discover what
our thoughts are on a particular topic until
we start writing.
Often, inexperienced writers fail to
make these thought processes explicit,
and assume that they are obvious to the

3. In academic writing, where clear thinking is a top
priority, you have to make your thought processes explicit
in the sentence structures so that the way you write your
sentences supports the point you are trying to make in your
analysis and argument.
NO SUBORDINATION:
“Modern students may often have heard the term
rhetoric used. They probably do not have a clear idea of
what it means. Their uncertainty is understandable. The
word has acquired many meanings.”
These four sentences are grammatically correct, but
they just state facts in isolation. There is no analysis of the
facts and no relationship between them. The minute you
establish a logical relationship between them, a line of
thought emerges. This line of thought comes about
because some ideas are subordinated to others in a logical

4. SUBORDINATION:
“Although modern students may often have heard
the term rhetoric used, they probably do not have a clear
idea of what it means. Their uncertainty is understandable
because the word has acquired many meanings.”
Although establishes concession, and because states a
reason.
DEFINITIONS:
A MAIN CLAUSE has a subject and a verb/predicate and
has no conjunction that subordinates it to another clause. It
is independent and can stand on its own whereas a
subordinate clause is always connected to a main clause.

Subject Predicate
Predicate = part of a sentence (or clause) that tells us what
the subject does or is. In other words, the predicate is
everything that is not the subject

6. A SUBORDINATE or DEPENDENT CLAUSE is introduced
by a subordinating conjunction and always has a subject and
a verb/predicate: when you write ( subordinating
conjunction. + subject + verb and what follows the verb).
When you become conscious of the need for subordination
and learn to use it correctly, you give yourself an important
tool to improve your writing.
Subordinating conjunctions signal many different logical
relationships.
EXAMPLES OF SUBORDINATION:
If you work and have small children you must juggle
conflicting responsibilities.
The store closed when the owner died.

7. COORDINATION:
The second step in the process of learning to use
subordination is to recognize its opposite: COORDINATION.
If subordination means that one clause is reduced to
secondary importance compared to another, coordination
means that two clauses, put side by side, are of equal
importance and weight. You can join main clauses in two
ways:
Use a comma and one of the seven coordinating
conjunctions, here shown in italics: and, but, for, or, nor, so,
yet
(use FAN BOYS to remember)
The economists considered budget cuts, and the politicians
thought of votes. Or link the two main clauses with a
semicolon:
