The purpose of the paper is to describe the simple but semantically complicated sentence in the Orok language. The syntactic structure of the simple but semantically complicated sentence differs from that of the Russian equivalent in the aspect that an Orok monopredicative syntactic unit corresponds to a Russian polypredicative consruction with object or adverbial modifier clauses. Traditionally, these constructions having essentially a monopredicative syntactic structure but being semantically complicated ones have been treated as polypredicative syntactic contructions. The paper attempts to show the distinction between monopredicative polypropositional constructions and polypredicative ones. The syntactic and semantic structure of the Orok sentence has never been described before.
