SEMANTICS AND USAGE OF SYNTAXEMES WITH MODAL-EVALUATIVE MEANING (Having Structure ne + Noun in Nominative)

Abstract

The article is dealing with a group of syntaxemes with idiomatic meaning. We use term “syntaxemes with idiomatic meaning” to distinguish such syntaxemes whose meaning cannot be understood knowing just the meanings of its components (for example syntaxeme ne delo means something more than two words ne and delo). The examined syntaxemes have structure particle ne + noun in Nominative case (ne sled, ne ukaz, ne delo, ne greh, ne vremya, ne mesto, ne sud’ba and ne pomeha). Such syntaxemes function as predicates. The meaning of the modal-evaluative syntaxemes is thoroughly described in the article. The name of the group shows that the syntaxemes not only have a modal semantics but also evaluate an action or a situation. The study also describes how the syntaxemes function in the sentence, what constructions they form, which words can be used in these constructions
