What do commas really mean? We think of language as a series of sounds, but an important part of language is the pause between sounds. We pause briefly between words so that our words don’t run together. We make a longer pause at the end of a sentence to signal to our listeners that we are at the end of a thought.
We also pause within sentences to signal a change of the flow of thought within that sentence. Here are three structures that change the flow of thought within a sentence.
- Introductory expressions
- Interrupters
- Compound sentences
More about these structures coming.
