VERBLESS TWO-MEMBER SENTENCES 
Tolibova Shokhzoda Baxtiyorovna

Annontatsion: 
Verbless two-member sentences are fairly common in many 
languages. We do not find here only points of coincidence but also specific 
features characteristic of any given language with its own patterns of formation 
and its own types of structural units. 
Key words: 
patterns, 
A tremor, 
communicative
 
The linguistic essence of such sentence-patterns has been differently treated by 
grammarians. In books devoted to teaching grammar they are often referred to as 
"non-sentences", "minor" sentences or "phrases" functioning as communicative 
units in spite of the absence of the finite form of the verb. 
According to O. Jespersen and R. Long, here belong also patterns with "nexus of 
deprecation". The frequency value of such syntactic units in Modern English is 
rather high. In terms of IC's analysis, they may be divided into two types: SP and 
PS, each of them characterised by various structural elements. 
Type SP. 
The predicate (P) may be expressed by nouns, nounal groups, infinitives 
or participles, e. g.: 
Anything the matter, Michael? 
(Galsworthy) 
Next stop 
— 
the British Museum?
Weather to stay cold?
Your turn to speak.

Both engaged?
Gone! The scent of geranium fading; the little dog snuffling. 
(Galsworthy) 
A tremor of insecurity went through her. The Future, how, how 
uncharted! 
(Galsworthy) 
Cowperwood, the liar! Cowperwood, the sneak!

—

(Galsworthy) 
Way of the world 
— 
one man's meat, another's poison! 
(Ibid.) 
Type PS. 
In patterns of this type predicate (P) may be expressed by nouns, nounal 
groups, and all other non-conjugated elements of the predicate: 1) pronouns, 2) 
pronominal adverbs, 3) participial phrases. 4) infinitives, infinitival phrases, etc. 
Flying a kite, you, a grown man?
Fair gone on each other, those two.
Just to stay here, the two of us.
Bad to stick, sir. Sorry! 
(Galsworthy) 
He hurried along, almost running, his eyes searching for a cab. None to be 
had! 
(Galsworthy) 
How ridiculous to run and feel happy!
How long until dinner?
What about your own words?
A rather charming garden here!
Why not go?
