Abstract

Predicativity and the role of secondary predicative constructions in a sentence have always been considered as one of the topical problems of linguistics. The author of the article analyzes specific and similar features of secondary pred-icative constructions of the English and Uzbekl anguages. The category of event is considered asa category, which is important in the analysis ofcognitive features of secondary predicative constructions in the discussed languages. Moreover,the article covers the peculiarities of the structure and semantics of the English and Uzbek secondary predicative constructions. Predicativity is a reflection of the essence of a sentence to the reality, and is expressed in terms of grammatical categories of person, time, and modality. There are two types of predication between the subject and predicate:primary and secondary. Constructions representing primary predication are primary predicative constructions and those which express secondary predication are secondary predicative constructions. Secondary predicative constructions allowa speaker to search for dependencies, interconnections, sequence, logical durations and other relations between events existing in the world and represent these relations using relevant language structures. Secondary predicative construction senable a speaker to simplify, concretize complicated events, by avoiding unnecessary details and focus on the main essence, rather than the events.These means and tools are used in these constructions according to the communicative intension of a speaker as well as the characteristics of the situation.
