SENTENCE WITH A PARTICIPIAL CONSTRUCTION WITH PARTICIPLE I. BIO-COGNITIVE INTERPRETATION

Abstract

Sentence with a Participial Construction with Participle I is considered within the holistic approach to the language as a human’s cognitive activity aimed to adapt him to the environment at the moment of speech. Such an approach to the language puts a special emphasis on speech context and the peculiarities of a human’s perception. The author shows that this syntactic construction represents the comparison of two fragments of the same situation: a directly perceived fragment of the situation and the other fragment of the event, which is represented in three ways: the observer’s phenomenological knowledge, the speaker’s structural knowledge and the observer’s previous experience.
