Summary/Abstract: This study relates to semantic and structural characteristic of explicative sentence and non sentence constructions identified by conjunction medium “to jest”. Specific qualities of explicative sentence include meanings of explanation, addition, redefinition, reformulation, and coordinated relation (grammar independence). Study aims to determine are explicative sentences a special variety of explicative independently complex sentences (to jest represents a formal indication of such relation, an independent conjunction which is a quality of explicative sentence), or they represent a sub specie of implicit independently complex sentences (to jest does not attain status of specific independent conjunction and postponed clause with conjunction to jest is introduced by method of enumeration). Sentences with to jest are very often manifested in scientific writing style articles, as well as in essays which use a form of repetition - a consequence of deliberate intention - in order to achieve additional intelligible effect, precision, and correctives.
