A typology of the compund predicate in european languages

Abstract

The article is devoted to a typology of the compound predicate in the contrasted languages, namely in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Tatar and Bashkir (altogether 8 languages). The aim of the study suggests establishing isomorphic and allomorphic features in the languages of contrast on the basis of optional sampling of models representing a compound type of the verb predicate. The factual material includes inductively selected equivalent verbal structures in the contrasted languages correlated with a language etalon as a special reference point to measure discrepancy between etalon and a concrete language representing it.
