Abstract
The aim of the study is to identify the structural and semantic characteristics of conjunctive structures with deontic and alethic predicates (alethic-deontic complexes). Based on the corpus data of the Russian and German languages and using structural and semantic analysis, the study considers different syntactic structures models of pure and adversative conjunction that demonstrate equal relationships between the deontic and alethic indicators. It establishes the semantic characteristics of these syntactic structures and the differences in modal semantics that arise when the sequence of predicates changes.
