This article examines the dependence of semi-predicative constructions on context. The dependence of these constructions is considered within the framework of the concepts of autosemanticity – synsemanticity, complicated sentences. The authors put forward the thesis that the contextual cohesion of a semi-predicative sentence is reflected in its semantics and structure. Analyzing the degree of contextual cohesion of the sentence, the paper comes to the conclusion that these constructions relate to the context in different ways. The functioning of a semi-predicative sentence without a full-predicative one, to which the analyzed constructions belong, is impossible. Therefore, their connection with the context can be characterized as having a high degree of strength. In the present study, synsemantic constructions are considered as syntactic constructions that have semantic connections with surrounding sentences, and autosemantic ones – as devoid of these connections.
