PROPOSITION IN DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN LINGUISTICS: THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION
The article is devoted to theoretical justification of the concept “proposition” in domestic and foreign linguistics. The key stages of the development of the notion of a proposition are examined. The conceptions of dоmestic and foreign scientists who dealt with the problem of semantic organization of the sentence are analyzed. Considerable attention is paid to the syntactic realization of a proposition. It is shown that the semantic content of the sentence is not linked to a specific grammatical structure. The number of propositions in the sentence is determined by the number of predicates.
