Abstract

The issuer content and status of passive voice paradigm in the system of Ukrainian, hierarchy and both – structural and semantic – features of its constituents are still a disputable question. Committee Ukrainian guidelines and reference books, dated by the first decades of the ХХІ century, were the resources of material for this research. Without regard to comparative free development of standard Ukrainian after getting of independence by Ukraine the paradigm of passive voice, that was substantial reviewed in the newest grammatical researches, has the transformation in a modern scholastic, and also in the in modern committee Ukrainian: it’s nexus is formed by constructions with verbs on -ся ending and periphery – with predicative forms on -но, -то ending and by participles on -ний, -тий ending. Choice of passive or active construction type depends mainly on tastes of compilers of professional editions in modern committee Ukrainian, which does not distinguish the syntactic peculiarities of standard Ukrainian and Russian. Substantial advantage of constructions with verbs on -ся above active constructions and other types of passive constructions in the modern standards of documents is the part of history of committee Ukrainian, and it is high time for it to fall off the edge of the earth. Two-part constructions with predicative forms on -но, -то must occupy a central part in the paradigm of passive voice. Their impersonal value predetermines their prevalence in those documents, where attention is concentrated on completion of action and its result, but not on a performer. In documents, where a role of a performer or an action is pulled out on the first plan matters timelessness, active constructions as specific feature of Ukrainian syntax must prevail. Peripheral performance of constructions with predicative participles on -ний, -тий in committee Ukrainian depends not on language sense of specialist, but on the flavour of the constructions meaning – specifically, the establishment of permanent regularity of action or state continuing. Decision of problem of “ideal” correlation of active and passive constructions, explaining of their usage in modern committee Ukrainian, taking into consideration their structural and semantic specific will help to return the national originality to Ukrainian and, in particular, will provide the continuation of folk traditions in the performance of its inherent grammatical models.
