Abstract. The article describes and systematizes speech units formed on the basis of bi-transitive construction, identifies invariant and differential semantics of their components motivating the general meaning of a statement. The analysis of factual material allowed the author to deduce the prototypic proposition of bi-transitive construction and derivative propositions correlating with the semantic classes of statements objectifying this construction. Within each semantic class of speech units with bi-transitive construction the author establishes and interprets typical situations, discovers cognitive mechanisms of their verbalization, identifies and summarizes semantic restrictions on lexical structure of bi-transitive construction.
