EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE RUSSIAN VERB VALENCY ^{[№ 6 ' 2002]}
The paper is devoted to the study of ellipsis in Russian and presents the discussion of the data obtained during the experiments aimed at the formation of utterances with the given verb by ordinary language speakers. The paper suggests to differentiate three mechanisms of not filling-in empty slots of the verb: 1)_ellipsis (contextual omission of elements of the utterance); 2)_reduction (language situation of the prohibition of syntactic expression of one of the (semantic) arguments); 3)_compensation (situation of the change of the actant slot with the circumstant, as a result of which full or partial neutralization of the utterance incompleteness takes place).
