FUNCTIONAL STATUS OF ADDITION UNITS ACCORDING TO THE “NOUN+NOUN” MODEL (WITH HYPHENATION) IN MODERN RUSSIAN

Abstract

The article studies an relevant problem of modern Russian studies – the establishment of the functional status of word units. From a functional and semantic point of view, the researchers consider the multi-level linguistic units of the “noun+noun” model (compound words and appositive phrases) according to their ability to carry out nomination and predication. The article presents a new look at appositive phrases, which are classified according to their functional orientation based on the application of the isofunctional formula “appositive phrases-bisubstantial sentences”; the relationship between appositive phrases and compound nouns is also established. As a result of the conducted research, it is concluded that compound nouns and appositive phrases with a classifying component are the units of nomination, and appositive phrases with a characterizing component are the units of nomination and potential predication.
