The role of project-based learning in developing English language

Abstract

The meaning of words can also limit their potential for combination. Many researchers highlight the close interrelationship between a word's semantics and its syntactic function. Therefore, in our view, it is more appropriate to approach the issue of valency by considering not only the grammatical characteristics of words but also their semantic properties.Based on the description of word relationships provided by A.A. Ufimtseva and V.G. Admoni, the combinatory potential of various parts of speech has been investigated by examining the completeness or incompleteness of their lexical content, while also taking into account the concepts of sentence constituents and syntactic relations. These authors were the first to propose analyzing the relationship between dominant and dependent sentence constituents. The grammatical potential of words was studied in conjunction with their lexical semantics. Thus, the characteristics of word combinability were determined to be directly dependent on their lexical meanings. In the research works of I.S. Gorelik, E. Ioffik, V.L. Zavgorodnyaya, D.N. Ufimtseva, and others, valency is examined from precisely this perspective. It should be noted that the study of valency characteristics— not only of verbs but also of other parts of speech—is of particular interest to researchers. Some researchers interpret valency more broadly by taking into account both its potential and its possibilities for realization—in other words, by considering factors of both language and speech.
