Abstract
This article describes a complex multidimensional analysis of the lexical and syntactic structure of the honorary inscriptions of the Northern Black Sea region taking into account the semantic-syntactic relations between components thereof. Furthermore, an optimal syntactic model of the inscriptions is found, presented by such elements as adverbial modifier of manner, indirect object, direct object, subjective, predicate, adverbial of purpose, and adverbial modifier of time. The formal syntax and lexical syntactical arrangement of the inscription elements is studied. It is found that they are represented by syntactic units of various levels: elementary syntaxes and syntactic constructions-phrases. The peculiarities of complication of syntactic elements of inscriptions with dependent components are described in detail: with coordinated and uncoordinated definitions. The prevalence of coherent definitions, in particular, attachments has been proved among them. As part of the study it was proved that honorary inscriptions as a special form of epigraphic texts are characterized by the consolidation of certain lexical units and only their inherent syntactic structures with the historical tradition of their laying on the territory of the Greek colonies of the Northern Black Sea region. They are united by a special vocabulary and a special syntax which have different semantic and syntactic detailing of each member of the sentence. Regarding the lexical organization of the inscriptions it was discovered that anthroponyms are used as objects – namely names of persons who dedicated honorary inscriptions (senior officials); in the function of direct application - mainly the names of persons who have a sculptural structure with an inscription (state philanthropists, priests, kings, emperors) or the name of this structure (statue, stele); the addressees are the persons endowed with the title of the king; the nouns designating the titles of senior state officials as the main member of the adverbial modifier of time phrase. Special attention of the authors of the inscriptions to the detailed information about the social status, localization, family relationships, origin of persons who act as semantic objects of inscriptions is certified. Due to different terms, the maximum informative saturation of the texts with inscriptions is carried out. Therefore, it makes honorary inscriptions an important historical source of knowledge about the ancient states of the Northern Black Sea region.
