Semantic-Syntactic Aspects of Studying Appositive Components in Sentence Structure
Semantic-Syntactic Aspects of Studying Appositive Components in Sentence Structure

Summary/Abstract: The article dwells upon the main stages of formation of a semantic-syntactic sentence structure. The connection between the appositive as the core component of a half predicative appositive unit and a designated word has been described. The issue of valence as the ability of the predicate to be connected with the components in order to express semantic relations has been also reviewed. The conclusions provide the interpretation of the concept of ‘half-predicative appositive unit’ and point out its defining syntactic features of being a secondary predicate in the sentence structure.
