Faryna N. Complex sentences of non-segmented structure in Ivan Franko’s fictional prose.

It analyzes the dynamics of qualitative and quantitative changes in the register of linking means, the ways of subordination for several predicative parts in one unit, positions in relation to the main part, and complications of dependent parts. The thesis focuses on structural-semantic specificity of complex sentences with subordinate relative and complement clauses functioning in Ivan Franko's prose. It has been proven that the writer worked meticulously on the texts of his works in revised editions, which is testified by numerous corrections in dependent parts of attribute and object semantics found in the text of the novel “Zahar Berkut”. The research traces the phenomenon of simultaneous imposition of semantic-syntactic relations (syncretism), which were often the result of transposition functioning of communication means or prop words semantics.
