Medynska N. Semantic-grammatical differentiation of attribute words.

The presentive and attribute words were distinguished by lexical semantics, system of grammatical categories, morphological paradigm, syntactic functions, as well as by word-building structure and morphemic structure. On the wide factual material of the Standard Ukrainian Language, all classes of attribute words – verbs, adjectives, numerals, adverbs, which are opposed to a single class in the designation of objects (things) – the lexical-grammatical class of nouns, were analyzed. The division of attribute words into dynamic expressions and expressions of a static attribute was substantiated. The verb is recognized to be the main lexico-grammatical class of attribute words, specialized in expressing a dynamic attribute. The part-of-speech status of the verb as the exponent of a dynamic sign which is determined by its morphological categories of time, voice, and aspect, on the basis of which the paradigm of verbal word forms is formed, and the categories of person and numbers (partially gender) whose grammatical meanings coordinate the forms of the conjunctions of the predicate and unpredictable components, due to valency of the verb predicate.
