Habibullina L.G. Causal relations between the components of non-union compound sentences in the Tatar language

Semantically, not only equivalent compositional, but also explicitly unexpressed subordinate relations can be established between parts of non-union compound sentences, which often remain out of the field of view of researchers. This article studies causal relationships in non-union compound sentences of the Tatar language. The study of the peculiarities of the linguistic representation of semantic and syntactic categories fits into the framework of communicative syntax, which is one of the promising areas of current linguistics. In the course of the work, the structural-semantic method was applied
(in the study of the formal and meaningful organization of causal constructions), the method of modeling and transformational analysis (in identifying implicitly expressed subordinate relations), contextual analysis (to identify the features of the functioning of causal relations). The conducted research allows us to assert that causality in non-union compound sentences is established, firstly, due to the semantics of the components, and secondly, due to the order of their sequence: the cause is always in preposition with respect to the effect. Modal-introductory words in such constructions express the speaker's assumption about the cause, based on the effect. Such sentences are characterized by a complex semantic fullness and can relate to the relations of logical justification, modal-introductory words convey a subjective modality.
