The role of modification is often fulfilled by particle clauses, which enter into coordinate or subordinate relations with the preceding or following clause structures only at the formal, syntactic level, leaving the semantic level relation unfulfilled. An indispensable prerequisite for obtaining a grasp of the syntactic and semantic roles of particle clauses is to approach them from the construction perspective, as the construction method involves in its analysis both meaning and form, that is, structure.Vlogo modifikacije nemalokrat opravljajo členkovni stavki, ki vstopajo v priredna ali podredna razmerja s pred ali za njimi stoječimi stavčnimi strukturami le na formalno skladenjski ravni, na pomenski ravni ostaja to razmerje (smiselno) neizpolnjeno. K razumevanju skladenjske in pomenske vloge členkovnih stavkov je nujno pristopiti s konstrukcijskega zornega kota. Konstrukcijska metoda namreč v svojo analizo hkratno vključuje tako pomen kot obliko oz. strukturo
