BINOMINATIVE IDENTIFICATION SENTENCES: LOGIC-SYNTAX ANALYSIS AND COMMUNICATIVE ORGANIZATION

Abstract

The article provides a multidimensional description of binominative identification sentences. Identification is considered as a logical-syntactic relationship, in which the identity of different nominations of one object is established. The predicative basis of binominative simple sentences is formed by substantives in the nominative case. Based on the analysis, it is established that identification sentences are characterized by the symmetry of the logical-syntactic structure and communicative organization, the referential use of the name in the position of the predicate. These features distinguish sentences from other types of predicative constructions in the Russian simple sentence system. Particular attention is paid to the copular in the binominative construction with the semantics of identification. The copular is an obligatory structural element. The copular has no paradigm, therefore binominative sentences do not have the categories of modality and temporality.
