The aim of the study was to identify the peculiarities of discourse predicativity and the role of punctuation in sentence-expressions using works of different national and genre traditions. The theoretical analysis of predicativity as a key textual category and the comparative-analytical method were applied for the study of literary works. The research material included texts reflecting a variety of genres and cultural contexts, which made it possible to identify general and specific patterns. The results of the study showed that predicativity was the main property of the text, providing its logical completeness and coherence, forming a link between sentence elements and context and maintaining thematic and semantic coherence. It was found that punctuation performed an important function in text structuring, contributing to the allocation of key semantic accents, organising rhythm, and enhancing emotional expressiveness. The comparative analysis of the works revealed that in all the texts, predicativity contributed to the creation of a coherent discourse, but its use varied depending on the national and genre context. In some cases, the emphasis was on emotional intensity and expressiveness, while in others it was on logical simplicity and clarity of the narrative. Punctuation, as a tool enhancing predicativity, also manifested itself in different ways: in some works, it emphasised drama and symbolism, while in others it facilitated the perception of the text and highlighted logical connections. The generalisation of the results confirmed the universality of predicativity and punctuation as means of textual organisation, reflecting both individual features of the author's intention and cultural and stylistic traditions. These aspects were recognised as key in creating a coherent, logically structured, and expressive text, opening up new opportunities for studies across different genres and cultural contexts.
