The universal character of elliptical one member answers in question-and-answer dialogical unities in modern languages of the world

this article examines one of the most common, universal phenomena of sentence syntax. The authors explore the problem of ellipsis, reflecting many fundamental problems of the syntactic level of modern world languages. In the article, the authors consider only the one-member structure of elliptical response sentences in a dialogical unity, which, despite its fragmentation, is semantically sufficient and universal in the world's languages with different structures. The classification of these linguistic structures is carried out in accordance with the morphological character of the key component. The substantive, pronominal, adverbial, and adjectival one member structures of elliptical response sentences in the dialogical unities of various languages, as well as those expressed by the words "yes" and "no" are investigated.
