LANGUAGE USE OF STATE PREDICATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS – CORPUS STUDY

Abstract

The article presents a stage of the creation of a database with language material for the state predicative constructions in Bulgarian and Russian. The selection of the language material is based on a typology of the formal component structure made in a previous stage of the research. The presented observations on the frequency, distribution and correspondences of status predicates in Bulgarian and Russian are preliminary and were made on the basis of language material from related Bulgarian-Russian and Russian- Bulgarian texts within the Russian National Corpus.
