In this research work structural and semantic peculiarities of descriptive predicates in the modern Ukrainian languages were studied. The notion of “predicate” as аt category of syntax was defined, the notion of “descriptive predicate” and different views on interpretation of this phenomenon were considered. Sustained and free word combinations were analyzed and the differences between descriptive predicates and phraseological combinations was defined. In this research work structural models by means of which descriptive predicates are built were defined, the most typical and used models were singled out. The division of descriptive predicates into semantic types was made, special attention was paid to the semantics of verbal and nominative elements. The patterns of the washing out of the semantics of verbal elements in the structure of descriptive predicates are considered.
