Summary/Abstract: This article studies the basic properties of syntactic and derivational propositions in the tideway of cognitive linguistics. A proposition consists mainly of arguments (actants), predicates and circonstants. Using the French language as an example, we reveal such properties of propositions as syncretism, fractality and contractibility. Contractibility of propositions implies the number of elements which remain non-profiled in word and speech production. We show that contractedness of a propositional structure can lead to the effects of entropy, pseudo-information and implicitness, which are left out by the neighboring context.
