Alcune considerazioni sulle proposizioni del tipo «Хоть умри, но сделай!»

Abstract

In the present article we describe the semantic and structural properties of propositions with a phraseologized structure of the type “Хоть умри, но сделай!”, an issue that has not been studied in depth to date. The purpose of the study is to propose the phraseoschema of this type of proposition and to investigate the extent to which its components, in particular the phraseme chot’ + imperative, contribute to achieving the compositional meaning. From the analysis of the corpus of 28 examples, it emerged that the chot’ + imperative phraseme becomes a strong modal modifier in the type of propositions under examination.
