Abstract

The article deals with semantics of adverbial modifiers that extend constructions with predicates expressed by procedure verbs; specificity of semantic relations between verb and adverbial modifier; relation between groups of procedure verbs and adverbial modifiers. The research is based on a comparison of scientific concepts of I. Vyhovanets and N. Shvedova, on the one hand, and R. Mrazek, on the other, regarding optionality / obligation of adverbial modifiers in the structure of a simple sentence. The peculiarities of the formal aspect of interpreting syntactic linkages in simple sentence are clarified. It is argued that, at the formal level, adverbial modifiers of different semantics are mostly not predicted by the meaning of a verb, but for logical structure of utterance, expression of common sense, for understanding interlocutors adverbial modifiers are extremely significant. The semantics of separate procedure verbs needs to be extended with adverbial modifiers (in particular, locative and temporal, rarely – causative). Moreover, connection between predicate and adverbial modifier is mostly obvious. Causes in constructions with verbs which denote physical processes of beings and changes of state or quality are analyzed. The author explores verbal semes that require clarification of semantics by adverbial modifiers. Specificity of factual distribution of syntactic constructions in texts of different styles is established. To prove his arguments, the author uses the following methods: descriptive, transformational and the method of distributional analysis.

Summary

Introduction

Н. Шведова вважала, що детермінантами є члени речення, характеризовані нерегулярним зв'язком, тобто таким, коли "семантикою дієслова визначається можлива, проте не обов'язкова наявність при ньому однієї з кількох можливих відмінкових форм іменника з непрямооб'єктним або обставинним значенням" [9, с. 252], тому вказівка на темпоратив передбачена семантикою і не може бути вилучена без шкоди для змісту речення.
