Dudko I. Semantics and functioning of indefinite pronouns in the modern Ukrainian language

The dissertation deals with the investigation of meanings and functioning of the indefinite pronouns of different structural groups in the modern Ukrainian language as well as with those ones that appeared due to the pronominalization of other lexico-grammatical classes of words. The essence of the category of definiteness-indefiniteness expressed by the indefinite pronouns as its markers is ascertained. The meanings and functional peculiarities of the above pronouns have been defined. The most important context components that have an influence on the choice of the pronouns under investigation have been defined. The transposition processes connected with the indefinite pronouns are investigated.
