The aim of the article is to characterise the specific functions of personal predicative constructions with the semantics of a positive state of mind in Akhmatova's poetry. The author analyses the collections Evening, The Rosary, The White Pack, Plantain, Anno Domini. The study considers personal predicative constructions, using the continuous sampling method to identify them, as well as the structural-semantic description of the linguistic material using the functional approach. The analysis has shown that the main body of Akhmatova's literary texts are syntactic constructions with a personal predicate expressing state of mind. Akhmatova's skillful use of personal predicative constructions enabled her to express her feelings and emotions in a concise and expressive form. The material of this article reveals the peculiarities of Akhmatova's creative method. The theoretical methodology for analysing constructions with predicate can be used when working with the language of the texts written by other authors of the early 20th century, because the predicate is a universal means of creating an artistic image in the poetry and prose of the Silver Age.
