Abstract

The article is based on the analysis of the syntactic stucture of a classical French sentence
through its historical development (XVIth – XVIIIth centuries). The author states that
the history of forming a classical French sentence and its grammatical categories disproves
the existence of universal deep syntactic structures as in the system of one language there
co-exist two grammaticalized invariants of the simple sentence reflecting two fundamentally
different modes of thinking.
