Grozian N. Category of the sentence`s secondary parts against the background of formal-syntactic and semantic-syntactic structures of a sentence

The correlations of formal-syntactic secondary parts of the sentence with semantic-syntactic units – syntaxemas – in the modern Ukrainian language thoroughly has been researched in the thesis. The conceptual and terminological apparatus for nomination of minimal syntactic units is systematized and unified, and their terminological relations are traced. The terms for the sentence`s secondary parts study have been ordered, the absolute synonyms – the sentence`s part, the minimal syntactic unit and the quasi-synonyms – actually a part of the sentence, syntaxema, semantema, communicatema. The role of the functional concept according to which minimal syntactic units are analyzed against the background of formal-syntactic, semantic-syntactic and communicative structures of the sentence has been established. It is traced that the research of a sentence as a multidimensional syntactic unit, the definition of formal-syntactic and semantically syntactic structures has led to the distinction between two types of sentence parts: formal-syntactic (actually a part of the sentence) and semantically-syntactic (syntaxema). In the formal syntactic structure of a sentence, actually sentence`s parts are defined. Against the background of the semantic-syntactic structure of the sentence, the division of syntaxemas is based on semantic-syntactic relations. Theoretical substantiation and methodological foundations of distinguishing the parts of the sentence are supported by the distinction between the criteria and the ways of their differentiation. Formal (type and method of syntactic relation) and semantic (specificity of semantic-syntactic relations) criteria of their differentiation are distinguished. The practical definition of the sentence parts is based on their formal and semantic features and the communicative purpose of the syntactic unit. The classification features of sentence`s secondary parts have been clarified. The basis of differential features of minimal syntactic units – correlations of traditional secondary parts of the sentence with their formal-syntactic, semantic-syntactic and communicative matches are determined. Pros and cons of the traditional sentence parts classification have been identified.
