The authors completely support this view and explore the way how one member sentences express predicativity using limited language means. The authors also provide the classification of nominal sentences with language examples in Russian and English and express the view that nominal sentences have different degrees implicit predicativity. Special attention is paid to the kinds of nominal sentences with highest implicit predicativity.
