osobennosti bessoyuznoy konstruktsii pri glagole dumat v russkom
yazyke1. Acta Linguistica Petropolitana. 656.
The verb dumat’ in Russian can take
asyndetic complement clauses, e.g. A my-to dumali, oni normal'nye
arendatory. I show that the complements of this class, unlike
direct speech constructions, require preposing of the clause with
the verb dumat’, do not allow imperative and negation with dumat’.
Besides, the discussed construction differs from parentheticals
with the same verb (On, yadumayu, ne priedet): it can host various
kinds of adverbials, focus particles, appositions, converb clauses
and other types of dependent clauses. The verb dumat’ in the
constructions in question is a state and denotes opinion (and not
pondering, see Apresyan 2015). The discussed construction can be
diagnosed as an answer to a question concerning the opinion of the
addressee. Semantically, it is close to parentheticals; however, it
allows the false opinion reading, as well (unlike
parentheticals).
