Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the semantic and syntactic features of Bulgarian impersonal constructions consisting of a copula and a predicative. Depending on the meaning ex-pressed (a state or evaluation), three types of basic structural patterns are distinguished: zero-, one- and two-place constructions. The argument positions of the one- and two-place constructions are occuped by an experiencer dative pronoun (the logical subject) and/or a clausal complement. I present the possible combinations of these elements as well as the semantic differences among them. I also demonstrate that the semantics of the constructions depends on the meaning of the predicative lexemes and on the presence or absence of an experiencer argument or a clausal complement.
