INCOMPLETE STATEMENT: TO THE PROBLEM OF DETERMINING THE LINGUISTIC STATUS

Abstract

The article deals with the analysis of problems that arise when defining the linguistic status of stop-short utterances. These studies have become especially relevant with the shift of emphasis in the study of the language from its structure to its functioning. The article considers the principles of organization of syntactic structures. The definition of the sentence is being given. Its main structural categories are distinguished - predicativity and modality. Its semantic structure is being analyzed. The main components are determined, namely, the proposition and the mode. The study also offers a list of provisions that distinguish between sentences and utterances. Theoretical principles and concepts of the research of the utterance are highlighted. Particular attention is paid to the devices of realization of communicative functions of the language, which determine the expediency of its models and the possibility of communicative - intentional variation in the language communication. The publication proposes a functional model for the interpretation and study of stop-short utterances. It is emphasized that they should be interpreted not in terms of incompleteness, but in terms of their own specific structural properties and functions. The article also stresses the importance of taking into consideration the addressee factor when considering stop-short utterances.
