Abstract

A special, rather extensive group of sentences consists of formally two-part constructions or, as they are also called, unfounded elliptic sentences. This group of sentences is represented by indefinite-personal and generalized-personal structures with the pronoun man and impersonal sentences with the pronoun es. It is characteristic that in the Russian language, indefinite-personal and generalized-personal constructions are distinguished as two separate types of unambiguous sentences, due to their different design. In German grammars, however, they are not distinguished as separate types of sentences, attention is paid only to the shades of meanings within the general group of indefinite-personal constructions. Some grammars, such as Kleine deutsche Grammatik (W. Jung), are completely silent about structures with man. Most likely, this is because there are no formal differences between indefinite-personal and generalized-personal structures in German. In this article, we will try to compare formal two-part sentences in German and Russian, consider their use cases, and identify their similarities and differences.
