Implicitness of the semantic subject in effective constructions (based on the material of the French and Russian languages)

Chervony Aleksandr Mikhailovich

The article deals with the implicit expression of the semantic subject. In the article that is based on the material of the French and Russian languages, the resultatives are considered as syntactic means of the formal implicitness of a real subject. The semantic subject is implicit due to the fact that it is communicatively, and, consequently, lexically redundant in the structure of the resultative. The marker of the semantic subject in the resultative constructions is the meaning of the past participle, and the subject is specified within the context and communicative situation.

Keywords:the semantic subject, implicitness, a syntactic construction, resultative, transformation.
