| Description | The idea of presentation of a phenomenon on the scene seems to be at the core of human existence and communication. The verb operating in Pr-Scale sentences (Pr-verb) presents something new on the scene. The present paper offers an FSP analysis of the sentences implementing the Presentation Scale extracted from fiction narrative texts. The key research questions may be formulated as follows: (1) the syntactic typology of Pr-scale sentences, and (2) the semantic character of the English verb functioning within the Presentation Scale. |
