designation of names, spatial reference, syntactic function, predicate, referential potential

This article is devoted to the use of designation of persons in syntactic functions of predicate and subject with adjectives in Russian and English. The relevance of the topic is determined by the insignificant degree of knowledge of the means of concretizing person names and the limitations of their syntactic functions especially in comparative terms. The purpose of the article is to investigate the dependence of person’s name attributive on its possibilities of implementing various syntactic functions in a statement. The task is to conduct an appropriate analysis to determine the limitations of attributive compatibility and the restrictions of the predicate and subject syntactic function implementation by the person names in Russian and English. The study objects are statements from Russian and English linguistic corpus including the nouns of the declared semantics. The article uses the methods of component, distribution analysis. This article is done in line with the researches of spatial reference carried by E. V. Paducheva and N. D. Harutyunova. It is established that the predicative status of a person name is determined by its semantic meaning. Some similarities and differences in the person names use with adjectives in English and Russian are found out – in English statements some person names are not adopted for predicatization. The semantic analysis showed that adjectives combined with the same person name represent different meanings depending on its syntactic function.
