CONCESSIVE SEMANTICS OF UKRAINIAN ADVERBIAL PARTICIPLE AND FRENCH GERUND
The article is devoted to the study of semantico-syntactic structure of the concessive constructions in the Ukrainian and French languages from the point of view of the functioning of secondary participle and gerund predicates. The concession is considered as a complex semantico-syntactic category, the formation mechanism of the concessive semantics in a simple non elementary sentence is explained. With the help of quantitative analysis the frequency of use of the concessive constructions is determined. The semantico-syntactic models of the sentences under analysis in both languages are defined.
