On Problems with the Qualifier

Summary/Abstract: The text includes an analysis of the notion of qualifier, traditionally understood as any defining element of a noun, pointing to problems in Klemensiewicz's syntax (and, consequently, in school handbooks), unsolvable ones or solved in an insufficient way. A. Krasnowolski's right intuition has been referred to, since he reduced this class to defining forms added to the noun. There is an attempt to define this notion by means of structural syntax.Such kind of qualifier belongs to the attributive group, and, in order to exist, it requires a noun ablative (instrumental) case, though is not required by this case. Thus, it is not precisely 'a part of a sentence', but 'a part of a group', an element of a unit which realizes one of the positions indicated for 'a part of a sentence' by the verb.
