Abstract:
The article deals with the peculiarities of complex sentences with attributive subordinate clauses functioning, which are used in the Ivan Franko’s novel "Zakhar Berkut" (1883). Descriptive and quantitative methods are applied for making the research. The author concentrates attention on the particularity of semantics of predicative parts and lists linguistic phenomena, by which the predicative parts are complicated. There are two main semantic groups: sentences with attributive-conjunctive and designative-attributive relations. The subordinate clauses are complicated by homogeneous parts of the sentence, expletives and expletive constructions, restrictive parts of the sentence and various combinations of the linguistic phenomena. The important structural elements of polypredicative constructions with attributive semantics are connective means qualitative and quantitative composition of which is determined not only by text, but first of all by linguistic features of Western-Ukrainian variant of literary language. The author often uses conjunctions which, less frequently connective word what (pronoun) and what (conjunction), which, where, why, when, while to connect subordinate parts. The postposition prevails among the methods of subordinate clauses arrangement in relation to the principle clauses. The article analyses the stylistic features of complex sentences with attributive subordinate clauses.
