Chaplya O. Syntagme N1 + de + N2 in quantitative function in modern French speech fiction.

Dissertation is devoted to the study of the question of plurality from the lexical point of view. The analysis is made on the basis of the words belonging to the class of nouns and words of noun-type. Syntagme N1 + de + N2 is taken as a basis being the most representative syntagmes in modern French speech fiction. Onomasiological approach plays the main role in creation of numeral and quantitative nominative units in modern French speech fiction. The universal scheme of lexical and semantic field of quantity is suggested as well as the structural components of this field are identified. Complex analysis of quantitative lexicon on the paradigmatic and syntagmatic levels is undertaken. Comparative classification of quantitative words by the degree of their exactness / inexactness (approximation) is carried out. Reference and semantic analysis of discrete and nondiscrete units inside the investigated model is explored too.
