Abstract
Aim. To study and describe functional features personal and impersonal predicative constructions with semantic of mental state and evaluation, including them as part of rhetorical expressions.
Methodology. The linguistic material from the poetry of A. Akhmatova, S. Esenin and V. Mayakovsky was collected and analysed by using the targeted sampling method. Lexicographic method, functional and semantic method as methods of analysis were also used.
Results. The research revealed that the predicative makes the semantic center of statement, allowing the author to express most fully and capaciously his feelings, state of mind, to evaluate the object or phenomena, to turn poetic text into expressive in combination with distributive words.
Research implications. The study results allow to discover expressive potential of predicative, expand the information about pictorial language of A. Akhmatova, S. Esenin, V. Mayakovsky and can be used for working with poetic texts of other authors of the Silver age. Synthesis of new material on the studied topic allows to re-introduce into scientific turn the animistic predicative notion.
