The article deals with the research of
special features of a simple semantically elementary sentence. Formation of simple
semantically elementary sentences is considered from the perspective of the
dependency syntax conception. It has been found out that the dependency theory
provides deeper insight into the structure of diverse sentence constructions and allows
distinguishing the independent research area specifying patterns for combination of
dependent components. The research gives characteristics of traditional and new
basic principles regarding the definition of structural arrangement of simple
semantically elementary constructions. The syntactic dependency is interpreted as
component dependence in a sentence construction, its subordination to a predicate (a
distinctive feature component) in a semantic and syntactic structure or a predicate of
formal syntactic sentence structure in simple semantically elementary and
nonelementary sentences. It has been defined that the structural arrangement of
components in a simple semantically elementary sentence is under the influence of
semantic expression of a predicative component shaping dependent substantial
components. 18 variations of simple semantically elementary sentences with diverse
predicates have been differentiated. The analysis focuses on the structural
arrangement of simple one-component semantically elementary constructions with
comprehensive state predicates expressed by verbs and predicative adverbs; the
formation of simple two-component semantically elementary constructions with
predicates of actions, quality and quantitative state has been described; the formation
of simple three-component semantically elementary constructions with predicates of
actions, processes, state and state-relation predicates has been studied; special
features of simple four-component semantically elementary constructions with
predicates of actions and qualitative state have been defined; special features of
simple five-, six-, seven- and eight-component semantically elementary constructions
with predicates of actions have been specified.
