The author considers the state of the art in the contemporary research in the field of semantic syntax, in particu-lar it focuses on Stanislaw Karolak’s theoretical model. The article discusses some perspectives of its application in modern linguistics : in the field of lexicography, functional semantics, contrastive linguistics and others. Some new applications of Karolak’s theoretical model are also suggested, in fields such as aspects of diathesis theory, polysemy (semantic derivation), stylistics, language units frequency, grammatical nomination, due to the syn-thetic or analytic status of predicate exposition, the relation between semantics and syntax, due to the fact that valency of the verb is conditioned by the semantic (thematic) class the verb belongs to.
The subject of the presented article is mental verbs (verbs of knowledge, understanding and thinking) of the modern Russian language, treated in perspective of syntactic valence. The author examines the grammatical forms of realization of propositional argument in the sentences with mental verbs that represent predicate-argument structure P (x, q). All forms of representation of propositional argument are divided into three types: observance, compression and splitting. The author shows that in this area we have to deal with analog reflection of propositional structure, or more or less compression of proposition argument, or its dismemberment and doubling syntactic position. The author takes into account the regularity of the implementation of each grammatical form, quoting the relevant quantitative data. The empirical material has been mostly taken from the Russian Internet Corpus.
