On the Grammatical Basis of Single-Compound Sentences in the Russian and Ingush Languages

Abstract

The subject of this study is to identify varieties of single–compound sentences in two genetically unrelated languages - Russian and Ingush, to describe the structural and semantic properties of the specified syntactic unit from the typological aspect. The following tasks are put forward in this scientific article: firstly, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the concepts of the predicative center of one-part sentences of the Russian language in comparison with unrelated Ingush; secondly, to identify criteria for determining the types of one-part sentences in the Russian and Ingush languages; thirdly, to conduct a structural and semantic analysis of the predication of the types of one-part sentences. Sentences from two languages studied: Russian and Ingush. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time the main structural and semantic features and grammatical ways of expressing the predicative basis of a one–part sentence of two different-structured languages are revealed from a comparative point of view. In addition, the scientific novelty is due to the fact that the predicative basis of a single-compound sentence in nominative Russian and ergative Ingush languages has not been sufficiently studied from a typological point of view: to date, there are no or few monographs, scientific articles and other scientific works in which it would be elaborated in detail or aspect. As a result of the study, seven varieties of single-compound sentences were identified and it was proved that, despite some structural and semantic differences, in general, the predication and types of single-compound sentences coincide in the Russian and Ingush languages.
