Title: TERMS SENTENCE AND UTTERANCE: FUNCTIONAL MEASUREMENT

Rubric: TERMINOLOGY OF LINGUISTIC. TERMINOGRAPHY AND PRACTICE OF COMPILING BRANCH DICTIONARIES

Language: Ukrainian

Abstract: The article analyzes the current trends in the qualification of the concepts of sentence, utterance, sentence-utterance in the  context of the functional theory of language, i.e. the concept of sentence, statement using a three-dimensional approach associated with the selection of formal-syntactic, semantic-syntactic and proper-communicative structures of the sentence in functional syntax (the concept of I.R. Vykhovanets) is characterized; the peculiarities of the concept sentence-utterance functioning in the functional-communicative syntax, the feature of which is the analysis of the sentence meaning considering objective (or propositional) intension and speaker’s  communicative attitudes are described; In functional-communicative syntax, the sentence structure appears as multi-level – denotative, communicative,  semantic and formal levels; in the system-functional aspect, the sentence-utterance has the status of zero point in the dichotomy of the  sentence type (predicative communicative unit of the language system) and utterance-variant (intentional unit of a discourse). Prospects for  the development of syntax theory in the modern cognitive-discursive paradigm concerning the interpretation of the phenomenon of a  language-speech as a single (integral) object of study, respectively, sentence-expression as a holistic and at the same time multifaceted object  of study are outlined.
In the article, the changes and correlations of linguocentric and anthropocentric scientific paradigms are emphasized; the influence of  Ferdinand de Saussure’s system-centric concept on the formation of the linguistic tradition of contrasting such concepts as language and  speech is described; the main postulates of G. Guillaume’s psychosystematics and Charles Bally’s theory of actualization are characterized; the significance of famous Ukrainian linguist O.S. Melnychuk’s proceedings in solving one of the most controversial syntax  issues – the distinction between linguistic units and units of speech is emphasized.

Keywords: language, speech, sentence, utterance, sentence-utterance, functional syntax, functional-communicative syntax, system-functional aspect of syntax, cognitive approach to language.
