| Summary: | Background: The article covers widely used, significant stratum of Ukrainian grammatical structure – particles. Many scientific studies are devoted to this part of the speech (analytical syntactic morpheme by another classification), however, considerable number of unsolved issues still remains. Scientific research is being carried till now, that is supported by works of A. Zahnitko, I. Vykhovanets, F. Batsevych, L. Bondarenko, G. Mukan and others, who tries to define particles, distinguish their semantic and structural types, functional abilities, lexicographic description, etc.
Purpose: the purpose of the article is to study the functional types of particles considering definitions of particle itself and its expression in the modern discourse.
Results: particle is an analytical syntax morpheme with a weak lexical meaning and a strongly expressed functional and communicative, emotional and expressive coloring, which is actively involved in the formation of discourse. According to the functions performed, it is advisable to distinguish formative and modal types of particles. Formative particles are involved in the creation of grammatical forms of verbs – conditional and imperative moods, while influencing the modality of the entire sentence. Among modal particles there should be outlined the following by semantic shades: affirmative, negatives, interrogative, restrictively-outlining, demonstrative, self-modal quantitative.
Discussion: Both formative and modal particles actively participate in the formation of contemporary discourse. Altogether, the above presented considerations prove grammatical status of particle, as particles influence the modality of expression, have a discourse nature by the performing functions. The use of particles testifies the dynamics of interaction of language and speech. |
