Introduction

The relevance of the chosen problem is explained by the fact that in modern linguistics a cognitive approach to the study of language units has been established, that is, an approach to language as a means of storing and transmitting knowledge. In the study of syntax, semantics comes first. The purpose of this work is to study the semantic structure of a sentence with introductory semi-predicative structures. The goal set required the solution of a number of specific tasks:
1. Consider the concepts of predicativity and modality as integral functional and semantic categories of the sentence.
2. To study the existing ways of complicating the predicate.
According to weather forecasters , spring will not come soon. An insertion that simply extends the sentence, clarifies the facts. A sentence complicated by an introductory one should not be defined as complex, since the grammatical structure of the sentence does not change.
A sentence is complex if the predicative units in its composition enter into syntactic relations, that is, there is a syntactic connection between them. However, when complicated by introductory or plug-in sentences, there is no such connection, so the sentence must be qualified as simple. Plug-in constructions can formally be represented by a sign less than a word. For example: (!), (?), ( ). All this can be classified as plug-in structures.
The minimum of the introductory construction is a word. Introductory and plug-in constructions can be typologized on the basis of a morphological criterion:
1. nominal. Correlate with the name, less often with the adverb.
2. verbal introductory constructions. From a formal and grammatical point of view, introductory and plug-in constructions are close to each other.
Main difference: functional-semantic. Introductory constructions have a rather limited number of meanings and meaningfully complicate the sentence, primarily from a modal, emotional point of view, or serve as a logical organization of speech. Plug-in constructions are meaningfully open. They can add absolutely any additional message to the proposal. Unfortunately , spring has not yet begun. My brother, such a scoundrel , did not wake me up again. The first case is a subjective modality, the introduction of an additional evaluative meaning. In the second case, the inserted construction is simply an additional characteristic that occurs directly at the moment of speech. Introductory constructions allow classifications by value. Plugins are not allowed, because the content can be anything. Limping - he was on a prosthesis - the general went to the window.
