Abstract

Abstract The present paper considers the transposition of grammatical forms as a source of semantic derivation and a mechanism of syntactic synonymy. In particular, the author deals with the transposition of third-person plural forms in indefinite-personal sentences as well as their limitations in syntactic synonymy. Third-person plural forms are characterized by a significant referential variety. According to the referential variation of third-person plural forms, indefinite-personal sentences create synonymous relations with definite-personal sentences, passive sentences and generalized personal sentences.
