SEMANTIC PECULIARITIES OF ADJECTIVES IN THE FUNCTION OF THE PREDICATIVE

Abstract

The article deals with the semantic peculiarities of adjectives in the function of the predicative. The differences in the meaning of the structure Vcop+Adjective depending on the use of the predicative adjective with different prepositions have been analyzed. Adjective complementation by to-infinitive and that-clause has been studied. The alternative constructions demonstrate the different meaning of “deep” structures of the sentences with the identical “surface” structure.
