Extending of the В«likeВ» constructions.
Soyko has research that the concept in the table is the structural base for constructions of different combinations with like. But sometimes it can include structural-semantic constituent D, that is the clause like + N will be derated into like + D + N.is one more variant of model like + N where N is used with regressive and progressive position of elements:
+ D + N + D1,
D and D1 - elements, which extend the construction: can flash through the air like a mighty scimiter, cutting through tissues of falsehood, evasion, ignorance [6; 7].
... and then touched his own face exploring, like a blind man feeling a statue [6; 7]. a rule, pronoun type of construction with like doesn't have extend clause. The only way it can occur in the situations of concretization: struck me then that she was unlike someone who had had a bad fright [6; 7]. The model like + Pron personal pronoun takes the form of objective case which testifies about the presence of seme in the word like.
... and Gillian Burke and hundred others like her would move into a camera rouge ... [6; 7]. a rule in the model like + Ger gerundive complex is used but not single gerund. It is explained by the necessity of semantic completeness.the model like + InfP the explanation (P) follows, without which the construction would be structural and semantically unaccomplished.the drive over there where you see the smoke? [6; 8]. Of the material permit to determine that the eight structural types of constructions with the word like differ each from other by semantic dissimilarity, caused by specific character of semantics of the word like. Models like + Ger, like + Adj, like + Inf are typical for comparative constructions, and the word like is as the sign of untruth. It is testified where the word like is transformed by hypothetical conjunction as if/as though: was like staring at a drawing on a piece of paper ... [6; 8]. Was as if staring at a drawing on a piece of paper [6 ; 8]. like + Pron, like + Adv, like + Num, like + PrepP and also negative В«unВ» in the structure of the word like are devices of comparative relations which are reproduced in the word like. Structural differences in the word like are explained in the following way - linguistic В«imageВ» is made up with the help of semantic structures of the words which are represented by graphically-conceptual contest. Parts of speech which doesn't have such information can't take part in theof the В«imageВ». Such parts of speech are pronouns, numerals, some classes of adverbs and prepositions [6; 9]. Analysis of the word like provide not only the specific detection of the meaning of the word like but also searching of proximity between the variant...
