Particle clauses are clauses that serve as modifiers, which enter subordinate relations with the preceding or following clauses only at the formal, syntactic level, leaving the semantic level relation unfulfilled. The analysis of particle clauses is carried out using the construction method, as the latter involves in its analysis both meaning and form, i.e. structure. Some examples of particle clauses are analysed employing corpus analysis in order to determine the frequency of particle clause usage in written texts as well as to examine the degree of permanence of particle clause form together with other characteristics they have.
