THE PROBLEM OF PREDICATION WITH RESPECT TO THE SEMANTIC STRUCTURE OF A COMPLEX SENTENCE
It is considered that if the specific conceptual meanings are contained in the semantics of elementary sentences from which a complex sentence is constituted, then the very deep structure of the latter is conditioned by the character of the relation between its constituent parts, which are defined as the "relations of logical conditioning". The interrelations between the composite components of a complex sentence manifest conceptual notional-semantic of a propositional nature. At the same time, the gram- matical (in the broadest sense of the word) category of predicativity, inherent in complex sentences, has its own linguistic basis in the nominative, communicative, conceptual, notional-semantic, modal-connotative and intonational-sound ontological aspects. But most clearly the proposition manifests itself in a complex sentence, where it directly con- nects verbal-nominal compounds from two or more constituent parts of a given complex sentence. It is justified that differentiation, and not identification, is the main difference of a proposition from predication, which consists in the fact that the proposition is mani- fested in predication or predicates, while predication is the foundation of the proposition, the linguistic basis on which the proposition functions; the proposition is a more abstract phenomenon and expresses the general judgment about the event, while predication is a concrete representation of the logical-grammatical relations arising between the subject and the predicate.
