Abstract
Aim. To reveal some parameters of semantic-grammatical relativism of evaluative and static predicates of the Russian language.
Methodology. TThe main content of the study is the analysis of the functioning of Russian predicates in the context of ideas about relevance / irrelevance and temporal localization as the basic characteristics of state predicates. The main research methods are descriptive method, component analysis and contextual analysis.
Results. The work discusses the issues of localization of mental and social states in constructions with the so-called. determinants of various types. The parameters of semantic-grammatical relativism of predicatives with property / quality semantics are considered separately. As a result of the analysis, the author identifies certain parameters of relativism in the semantics of state, assessment and quality in constructions of various types. In particular, the features of the implementation of evaluative and statistic semantics in constructions with determinants were identified.
Research implications. The data obtained make it possible to clarify the characteristics of the class of predicates of the Russian language, as well as the semantic classes of “state” and “property / quality”. The results of the study make a certain contribution to the semantic typology of predicates and can be used when teaching a course on the modern Russian literary language, as well as when conducting special courses on functional grammar and cognitive syntax.
