Verbal predicate in the nominal predicate

Abstract

The paper considers the incorporation of the verbal predicate into the nominal predicate. It occurs in subordinate-complex predicate clauses. The nominal predicate is in the main and the verbal in the subordinate clause. When incorporating the subordinate clause into the main one, the subordinate verbal predicate enters the main nominal predicate at the place of its lexically empty predicate name and becomes its inseparable constituent.
