THE HIERARCHY OF ACTANTS IN THE LINGUISTIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A SIMPLE SENTENCE

Abstract

This article clarifies the position of actants at the sentence construction level by analyzing the realization of center-periphery relationships in simple sentences and examining the valence of words in the linguistic-syntactic structure of the sentence. According to the principle of hierarchy in linguistics, the analysis focuses on sentences in Uzbek speech within the Universal Dependencies (UD) tree structure. Initially, the part that functions as a center is the morphological indicator of the predicate [Pm], which is considered the central element. This forms valency with either the sentence expander or the word expander directly subordinate to the predicate lexeme [W]. In the subsequent stage, these elements expand with their respective word expanders and occupy the central position in the hierarchy tree.
