Към въпроса за синонимията на синтактичните единици (върху материал от руския и българския език)

The paper discusses some complex temporal sentences in Russian and Bulgarian which express direct succession of events in the main and the subordinate clauses, the main clause action taking place after the action in the subordinate clause. To construct this type of temporal sentences inferential (resultative) conjunctions must be used in both languages. The conditions under which all the three synonymous conjunctions can be used are outlined in the paper. Constructions in which the conjunctions can be interchanged are discussed on a contrastive basis, along with cases in which the interchangeability of the synonymous conjunctions is blocked. An analysis is made of the interrelations among the various components of the composite syntactic unit.
