dc.description.abstractThe revival of interest in the study of the “History of the English Language” is due to a new perspective on its importance in the training of Germanic philologists. Original texts are the main source of information about the state of a language and the linguistic processes that took place in it at the time of their creation. William Shakespeare is the most researched author in English literature. However, despite the enormous interest, virtually no one has studied the semantic relationships between the parts of text units of expressive syntax in his works in general and adjoining constructions in particular, which makes our research relevant. The goal of our research is to study the peculiarities of semantic relationships between the parts of adjoining constructions in William Shakespeare's works. The study shows that in adjoining constructions, the types of relations typical of complex sentences (copulative, disjunctive, adversative, adverbial, object and attributive) transform, and meanings of additional information and evaluation become predominant. The analysis of the semantic relationships between the components of adjoining constructions in has led to the following conclusions: examples of a wide variety of semantic relationships have been identified – additional information, precise definition, hypothesis, conclusion, cause, consequence, contrast and enumeration. The most productive adjoining connectives were found to be “and”, “but”, “which”, “because” and “if”. Given the fairly large number of adjoining constructions, it was concluded that these expressive textual syntactic units could be attributed to the nomenclature of characteristic features of the individual authorial style of this outstanding master of imaginative writing.
