because of 后能接完整句子吗

3 because of 后能接完整句子吗

This came about from two major developments: paper became common, replacing parchment as the major medium for writing, and rounded scripts were regularized and perfected so that they replaced the angular scripts of the previous period, which because of their angularity were uneven in height.

请教一下曹老师这个句子：

1. because of 作为介词短语为什么能接完整的句子？

2. which引导非限制定语从句which because of their angularity were uneven in height，关系代词which指代上句话的内容，在从句中作什么成分？

3. 根据您在问题https://www.cpsenglish.com/question/25952中的解答，我理解为冒号后作为同位语的句子应该要么符合同位语从句的特征：由that引导且that不可省略，要么变成动名词复合结构以名词性质出现。为什么这个句子中冒号后的句子作为two major developments的同位语，既不加that，又不以动名词形式出现？

1 你太粗心了。复数动词形式were已经告诉你their angularity不可能是其主语，because of their angularity这个介词短语插入到which 和 were之间了，是定语从句中的原因状语。

2 which后接的动词为复数的were，由此可知which指代的是复数名词the angular scripts of the previous period，而不是指代前句话的内容。

3 关于冒号后接一个限定分句，剑桥语法认为这个分句是主要分句（main clause），而不是从属分句（subordinating clause）,所以该分句不使用

从句标记词that。这个分句也不叫同位语从句。根据剑桥语法的分析，这种分句为补充语，对前面分句中的名词、词组或整个分句作补充说明。

以下为剑桥语法有关内容。

3.2.3 Asyndetic combinations of main clauses

In combinations of main clauses with no coordinator or supplementation marker, there

is no grammatical indication of the nature of the relation between the clauses. In some

cases, notably where and or but could readily be inserted, they can be interpreted as

coordinate; in others, the second provides an elaboration of the first – an explanation,

an exemplification, a consequence, and so on. In general, the absence of any grammatical

link strongly favours a stronger indicator than a comma to separate the clauses.

Comma

... ...

Semicolon

... ...

Colon

[18] i Roosevelt was not a socialist: his solution was not to eliminate capital, but to tame

and regulate it so that it could coexist harmoniously with labour.

ii He told us his preference: Jan would take Spanish; Betty would take French.

iii The rules were clear: they were not allowed to speak to the committee directly.

iv Brown pointed out the costs to the community on the radio last night, and McReady

mentioned the political consequence in this morning’s paper: the bill will cost the

taxpayers more than $100,000 in the first year, and may be seen as giving the

Republicans an unfair electoral advantage.

The colon, we have seen, is not used in syndetic coordination, and in aysndetic

combinations it indicates an elaborative rather than coordinative interpretation. What it

elaborates on may be a whole clause, as in [i], or a smaller element, such as his preference

in [ii] or the non-final NP the rules in [iii]; indeed, there may be more than one such

item, as in [iv], where the clause following the colon elaborates on both the costs and the

political consequence.
