THE SUBJECT AND THE PREDICATE IN SITUATIONS OF ODOR PRECEPTION: SEMANTIC-SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

The article examines the subject and predicate in situations of smell perception and their relationship in the semantic and syntactic structures in the Russian language, describes sentences in which the subjects and predicates of active and passive smell perception are explicitly and implicitly presented. The author seeks to identify similarities and differences in the functioning of the subject and the predicate in the situation of olfactory perception, as well as their semantic and grammatical features in the Russian and Chinese languages. The article also presents results of semantic-syntactic analysis of the subject and the predicate in the situation of smell perception using the example of the Russian and Chinese languages. The presented material allows us to conclude that in the Russian language the active and passive subjects are differentiated in the situation of smell perception, and in the Chinese language they are combined into one common, broader meaning.
