Abstract:
The article analyzes various ways of implementing aggregate semantics at the syntactic level, namely, the representation
of a subject with aggregate semantics, which has a complex structure. Illustrative material was selected from the works
of modern writers, as well as the analysis involved the translation (Anna Rogovchenko) of one of the most famous works
of our time – Laurent Gunel "God always travels incognito."
The aggregate category today is one of the most complex functional and semantic structures, as it is implemented
at the lexical, word-forming, morphological and syntactic levels and in which the conceptual, systemgrammatical,
functional aspects of language interact. In linguistics, nouns with aggregate meaning are interpreted
either as collective lexemes that have a plural form or as those that differ from collective ones. At the same time,
these lexemes, namely nouns with aggregate meaning, form a functional-semantic microfield of the noun aggregate
and are part of the functional-semantic field of the aggregate, which contains, in addition to nouns, adjectives,
pronouns, verbs, numerals. The aggregate value can be expressed synthetically and analytically, and we can
determine the simplicity or complexity of the functioning of the complex members of the sentence. The syntactic
level of realization of the aggregate semantics made it possible to study the main members of the sentence, in
particular the subjects.
The article outlines the main types of a complex subject, interpreted by A.P. Zahnitko, I.R. Vykhovanets and other
researchers, which helped to thoroughly trace the peculiarities of the use of aggregate lexemes in the position of the main
member of the sentence. The analysis of these structures took into account the probable intention of the speaker that is
the addressee, who forms the corresponding text with the analytical subject of aggregate semantics. The most common model representing an analytical subject with aggregate meaning is a sentence with an elective
subject. Note such structures, which include a sociative subject, whose three-member structure potentially predicts
together with the formal complexity of the semantic aggregate content.
