SYNTACTIC FEATURES OF PROVERBS IN THE LEZGIN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article analyzes syntactic features of a simple sentence in proverbs of the Lezgin language. Lezgin proverbs and sayings have a limited number of grammatical forms and syntactic structures. Thus, not all types of sentences and syntactic structures are equally represented in the paremiological units of the Lezgin language. Structurally, proverbial utterances are divided into simple, complicated, and complex ones. Structural and semantic types of simple and complex sentences are generally personal, despite the presence or absence of a grammatically expressed subject of action. Among complex sentences, sentences without conjunctions are the most widespread, which is due not only to the oral form of existence of Lezgin paremias, but also to the nature of paremiological expression. In Lezgin proverbs, there is a variety of design of sentences in connection with modal relations to the subject of the expressed thought. In the composition of the proverbs there are declarative, interrogative, imperative and exclamatory sentences. In proverbs, as a rule, there are no addresses, interjections and particles that strengthen the meaning of the order, characteristic of the literary language. Syntagmatic division is already embedded to a certain extent in the grammatical structure of the sentence. The subject and predicate of a two-part non-extended sentence can also be included in the same syntagma, without taking on logical stress.
