Abstract
Aim. We determine the syntactic function of an infinitive in an infinitive-substantive sentence, based on its grammatical and semantic features.
Methodology. A structural and semantic analysis is performed of the infinitive in infinitive-substantive sentences used in mass media. The range of analyzed constructions is determined using continuous sampling; the features of the infinitive are described using the structural and semantic method.
Results. Based on the results of the study, the syntactic function of the infinitive in infinitive-substantive sentences is determined. Grammatical features of infinitive-substantive sentences are revealed, which preserve the position of the subject receiving a predicative characteristic or evaluation in the predicate for the infinitive.
Research implications. The theoretical significance of the study is determined by the expansion of the semantic field of infinitive-substantive sentences, and by clarifying the idea of the function of the infinitive in this type of sentences. The materials of the paper can be used in the practice of teaching modern Russian.
