THE ATTRIBUTIVE CLAUSE IN THE KADAR LANGUAGE: RELATIVE AND CORRELATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS

Abstract

The attributive clause as one of the types of polypredicative constructions in the Kadar language which is one of the unwritten languages of Dargin group is considered. The purpose of the study is to describe the relative and correlative constructions, to identify the peculiarities of their formation and functioning. Nowadays from the standpoint of modern linguistics the syntactic constructions of the Kadar language are not scientifically studied, and the study of those syntactic constructions is quite relevant. The originality of it is in the fact that this is the first work in which the canonical relative Kadar sentence is systematically studied, all cases of replacing a coreferent element with an anaphoric pronoun, or its reduction, are established. Restrictive and non-restrictive types of correlative constructions are also revealed. The research material was recorded from native speakers within field expeditions of 2018-2019 years. The results obtained in the process of the research will be used in the further study of the complex sentences issues in other Dagestan languages.
