PREDICATES WITH “SUBJECT – HIS PSYCHO-EMOTIONAL STATE” SEMANTICS AS PSYCHOLINGUISTIC TOOL OF STUDENTS’ YOUTH INNER STATE REPRESENTATION

Abstract

The article focuses on the results of research of subject inner (psycho-emotional) state / attitude predicates’ lexicalgrammatical representation peculiarities on the basis of the Ukrainian artistic discourse. The logical-denotative, semantic-syntactic as well as formal grammatical levels’ formation of syntactic structures with predicates of the type was successfully ascertained. Their semantic spectrum, functions in the “subject – his psycho-emotional state” invariant semantics explicating, and functional activity were logically examined on the basis of Ukrainian writers’ famous works of XIX–XXI cc. These predicates’ morphological representatives were found out to have different functional activity potential; the subject negative / positive state / attitude adverbs possess the highest activity potential in the Ukrainian artistic literature. Subject negative / positive state / attitude adjectives are on the second position. Functional passivity is the characteristic feature of subject negative / positive psycho-emotional state / attitude verbs. The fact subject negative psycho-emotional state / attitude predicates reveal wider semantic spectrum and much higher functional activity compared to those predicates with subject positive psycho-emotional state / attitude meaning. It is motivated by the Ukrainian conceptual and national lingual world-image specificity. Thorough analysis of the subject psycho-emotional state / attitude predicates on the anthropocentric base disclosed the formation mechanism of isofunctional two-/three component syntactic paradigms with verbs, adjectives / verboids and adverbs of the type, likewise concretized their quantitative-content filling in Ukrainian artistic texts. The disquisition opened the perspective to the further systematic studies of isofunctional component syntactic subparadigms with predicates of the type, their structural submodels, the stative predicates’ lexical-grammatical representatives’ peculiarities as well as their semantic nuances investigation.
