Abstract:
Different analytical unions, which perform as the subject - syntactically inseparable collocations, phraseologized and lexicalized word combinations, are analyzed in the article. Syntactical analytism is compared to the structure of the compound subject as well as presented with syntactically inseparable combinations that are categorized according to the integral and classificatory semes, the formal grammatical structure, and the communicative features of clauses, in which they are presented. The most numerous group of word combinations constitute “quantity” seme. Mostly, they represent the following grammatical pattern “nominative case + genitive case without prepositions”, although they might contain other cases. Semantical and grammatical content of the pattern is related to combination of different cardinal numerals (nouns with quantitative and collective meanings) with nouns; such combinations are often metaphorized.
