Abstract
The paper focuses on certain aspects of the predication in some one-word sentences in Bulgarian. Such sentences are communicative units which have no distinct main constituents but are still able to express thoughts, ideas, etc. The study addresses the issue of whether certain units considered to be one-word sentences according to the linguistic tradition can actually be analysed as elliptical sentences or at least as one-word sentences whose predicative centre consists of at least one main constituent that is retrievable from the context. The analysis of the empirical material shows that syncretic predication may prove a rarer linguistic phenomenon than is usually assumed. Keywords: syncretic predication, one-word sentences, affirmative, negative and imperative one-word sentences
