Semantic subject, means of its partial, indirect expression and formal expression (on the material of English and Russian languages)

Chervonyi Alexander Mikhailovich, Pavlenko Alexander Evgenievich

In the article the means of partial, generalized and indirect expression of a semantic subject, as well as the means of its complete formal elimination from the composition of the statement are analyzed on the material of the English and Russian languages. The means of partial, generalized and indirect expression of a semantic subject, as well as its elimination from the composition of the statement constitute a lexico-grammatical paradigm. Partial, generalized and indirect expression of a semantic subject is carried out by lexical means of the English language, and its elimination is implemented in a number of syntactic constructions in which the focus of attention is given to the object of influence of the subject or the process itself. In case of the complete formal elimination of a semantic subject in the English language passive constructions are mainly used, in Russian uncertain-personal and impersonal sentences are used in the same case.
