English and ukrainian syntax. Typology of the word-group and the sentence typology of the Syntactic Systems

2. Representation (репрезентація) which is a particular process of syntactic substitution alien to the Ukrainian language. It represents a kind of reduction in which the component of a syntaxeme is used to present the content of the whole syntactic unit, which remains in the preceding syntaxeme but its meaning is implicitly represented by some element. For example: "I don't know if he's hungry, but I am." (I. Baldwin) Here the linking verb am in the closing co-ordinate clause (but I am) represents the whole subordinate clause "if he's hungry".
No less often used alongside of the linking verb in present-day English is the syntactic substituting particle to. Eg. "He thought of making another phone call, but he realised that he was afraid to".
