PROPER SYNTACTIC PROPERTIES OF THE CONJUNCTION “KHOT’… KHOT’”... AND ITS SEMANTICS

Abstract

The article deals with syntactic properties of the separating conjunction khot’… khot’… . They are conditioned by lexico-syntactic means, which are not included in the minimal (i.e. morphological-syntactic) composition of the construction (common member + composed word-forms), organised by this or that non-separate conjunction. The syntactic means proper include propagators of composed word-forms, generalising elements, differentiators and qualifiers, as well as various indicators of the exhaustiveness of the series. The turn to the analysis of the syntactic properties of the khot’… khot’… is dictated by the necessity to clarify some aspects of the constructive properties of this conjunction, which cannot be explained to the full extent exclusively within the framework of the minimal composition of the construction organised by it. As a result of the research, the article reveals, in particular, the lack of interaction of the organised khot’… khot’… construction with modal qualifiers and qualitatively temporal differentiators. All this should be taken into account in further methodical descriptions of the conjunction of khot’… khot’… .
