Abstract
The authors discuss communicative perspective of the composite sentence in the context of interpretation as a linguistic cognitive activity of an individual. Involved in the process of interpretation, the speaker configures his or her knowledge of the composite sentence shaped like a linguistic knowledge format wherein communicative perspective is regulated by an interpreting language function of determining the status of knowledge. This function reveals metainterpretation being a cognitive-linguistic basis for communicative sentence perspective and conceptually organizes various linguistic means aimed at marking the given and the new knowledge in the process of communication. The authors argue that the transfer of the given and the new through composite sentences is governed by at least two principles: the conceptual representation and the conceptual hierarchy of meanings. Regarded as an essential stipulation of successful communication, communicative perspective of the composite sentence requires a deep linguistic research, on the one hand, and application of the research outcomes in language teaching, on the other hand.
