Abstract: The paper deals with the analysis of predicative units in typologically different language systems: Orok and Russian. The description of the Orok simple sentence in terms of syntactic links has made it possible to find out its main features in the structural and syntactic aspects which are the following: 1) the dominating use of syntactic constructions (word phrases) as members of the sentence rather than lexical units as it is observed in Russian; 2) the lack of expanding extended attributes and adverbial modifiers in the Orok simple sentence structure which are expressed by participial and adverbal participial phrases in the Russian language; 3) the lack of polypredicative constructions of the subordinate type (i. e. structural equivalents of the Russian complex sentences including adverbial modifier clauses linked by means of subordinating conjunctions); 4) the fact that the formal distinctions of extended monopredicative and polypredicative constructions of equivalent semantics in the Russian and Orok languages rest on using different means of expressing subordinate relations (subordinating conjunctions in Russian and syntactic reflection linking in Orok); 5) the correlation of Russian complex sentences with adverbial clauses with Orok structurally simple but semantically complex (polypropositive) constructions.

Keywords: orok language, russian language, semantic equivalence, word phrase, sentence, syntactic linking, reflection, possessive construction
