Dissolved suggestions reasons in the system of Russian causal suggestions: ethymylogy, structure, semantics and pragmatics

Gong Jingsong

the article provides a multidimensional description of defunct prepositions of reason on the basis of data recorded and systematized in the course of a close study of authoritative linguistic dictionaries and scientific works devoted to the grammar of the modern literary Russian language. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the main structural model for the formation of canceled prepositions of reason in modern Russian is a combination of the case form of a noun with a non-derivative preposition, and the most productive in modern Russian are the models "ПО + N3"; "B + N4"; "B + N6 + C"; "ПОД + N5". The substantive component of the retracted preposition of the cause plays the role of a semantic qualifier: the nature of the lexical meaning and the grammatical originality of the causative and causable elements in statements with OPP largely correlate with the word-formative connections of these prepositions and are conditioned by the semantics of the substantive component in their composition.
