Abstract

In Russian, a word which by itself or accompanied with other words can function as the predicate of a sentence is referred to as a pseudo¬predicator. Such words usually cause the subject of the sentence to be in dative case, and if in such sentences a verb as well as a pseudo - predicator is being used, the verb is in the infinitive form. A Pseudo- predicator word can be a noun or an adverb, however, the use of adverbs in this category is more common than nouns. Many Russian Linguists classify pseudo¬


Persian Language is the predicative sentence which is constructed of a subject, a predicate and a relative verb. Unlike Russian, adverbs in Persian are never used in a predicator position. Thus, the function of the Russian adverbs when used as pseudo - predicators are sharply different from those of the Persian. Some Linguists, have a wider view of words acting as pseudo- predicators, and categorize a wider range of words under this category, while others have a narrower view of them, and still some others maintain that only adverbs can act as pseudo- predicators in the Russian Language.
