The article deals with the semantic-grammatical construction (Yo) creo, I think, which is used to form the context of evidence and reliability under a certain assumption. The use of the subject, personal-pronominal word of the first person уo, is associated with the contexts of argumentation and the desire to express one's own opinion, and that is why this option focuses on the presence of the speaker, and also concentrates discourse on the personal sphere. On the other hand, the omission of the subject in such a context is more often encountered in cases of the lack of confidence, formulating a hypothesis with assumptions which are usually found in the field of the generalized. But precisely this sociolinguistic variability can also depend on certain cognitive factors. From the cognitive point of view, the verb form сreo has a basic invariant content, although, depending on the context, it can acquire a variety of shades and interpretations. In all studied cases of use the investigated form is characterized by a certain conceptual content: the speaker expresses a part of his knowledge of reality or what is his assumption of reality beyond his knowledge. And vice versa, should be emphasized that there are significant differences at the semantic level between the constructions creo / yo creo. The use or omission of the subject in the investigated statements is not casual, because it correlates with the semantics of the discoursecognitive nature and can be an important stylistic resource of communication. These semantics can be positioned in an abstract form between the subjectivity and the objectivity of the linguistic statement.
