Abstract
The article deals with the semantics of long and short predicative adjectives used to assign a constant characteristic to a subject. It is suggested that there are two main semantic differences between them. Long adjectives tend to describe specific, definite subjects and can convey the information that a subject has not one, but a whole set of features. Short adjectives are more often used to characterize indefinite subjects by property and they mainly attribute only one feature to a subject.
