Abstract:

The paper deals with some of the boundaries of the Compound Verbal Predicates in Bulgarian language whose first component is expressed by an impersonal verb (the second component can be expressed either by a form of a personal verb, or by a form of an impersonal verb or a personal verb with an impersonal usage). The starting point from which we proceed is that any combination consisting of two verb forms (linked together by the linguistic element да in Bulgarian), the first of which is a form of an impersonal verb, functions in the sentence as a Compound Verbal Predicate in the Bulgarian language. To establish such a Predicate, it is essential to prove that its first component is expressed by a form of an impersonal verb.

Keywords:

compatibility, verbs with forms only in the third person Singular and/or verbs with forms only in the third person Plural, bearer of the state, producer of the action.
