The dative as an expression of semantic-syntactic relations in a semantically elementary simple sentence

Abstract

The proposed article is devoted to the analysis of substantive syntaxemes distinguished within the semantic-syntactic approach to the analysis of a simple sentence in Modern Ukrainian. Attention is focused on substantive syntaxemes which are expressed by the form of the dative case (dative). The material for research was based on Oles Lupii's novel “The Fall of the Old Capital”. It has been found out that dative is the main means of explication of the target syntaxemes as semi-peripheral substantive syntaxemes of a semantically elementary simple sentence. The semantics of predicatives which predict target syntaxemes in a sentence is traced. Two structural-semantic types of target syntaxemes are identified – the actual addressee and the addressee of purpose, their peculiarities are characterized and their place in the valence frame of the sentence is determined. The form of the dative case, except for being the implementer of the functions of the target syntaxemes, can also be an expression of other substantive syntaxemes in a semantically elementary simple sentence, in particular, object, subject, and locative. The research proposes the criteria for distinguishing these linguistic units from the varieties of the target syntaxeme. We outline the specificity of the semantic dependence of this or that substantive syntaxeme expressed by the dative from the predicative which predicts the development of corresponding semantic relations. The cases of development of syncretism in the structure of a simple sentence as a transient phenomenon in the expression of semantic relations are considered.
