In the Catalan-Valencian, sentences consist of a collection of noun phrases grouped around a verb.
The sentence can be introduced by a 'frame' (for example 'as far as X is concerned', or an adverbial of time or place).
In attributive sentences (see below), as well as agreement in person and number between the subject and the verb, there is also agreement of gender and number between the subject and the head of the attribute when it is a noun or an adjective.
One feature of Catalan syntax is the role played by the so-called weak pronouns, which can change the order of the sentence by removing one of the elements for pragmatic reasons, but keeping the sentence structured around the verb.
This sort of construction, known as topicalization, is used in dialogues, to take up what has been said by the interlocutors, and monologues, and it can make a text coherent thanks to the technique of thema and rheme or thematic progression.
