The article analyzes the essence of a complex sentence with a subordinate clause (hypotaxis) with regard to “Amiran-Darejaniani” (“The story of Amiran, son of Darejan”) by Mose Khoneli. It shows which conjunctions the subordinate clause uses to connect with the main one, what correlates are used in the main one and what the position of the subordinate clause in relation to the main one is:  does it precede the main clause, does it follow the main clause, or is it included in it? The study of the issues related to adverbial clause of place in “Amiran-Darejaniani” based on the data of the modern Georgian literary language, clearly shows the historical language changes reflected in this work, which accompanied the formation of the middle Georgian language and the gradual establishment of the qualitative elements of the new Georgian literary language.
