Abstract. The focus of the technology of the sentence as a product of our consciousness is syncretism. This syncretism obliges all components, all signs to be perceived and taken into account in their complex interrelation, and not in linearity. The synthesis between the lexical semantics of `I say` and the grammar of the predications What is your name? and My Name Is... bring out the parameters of communication as a phenomenon: first, speaking, an act of articulation, of materialization in language (`I say`) and, second, a question as a technology of cognition, of seeking information, but also as an incentive to speak (the semantics of `I say`). Saying is the concept of communication, of predication as its logical prototype. Saying is speaking. Modality has two levels – logical and linguisticsubjective, which must be distinguished and not overlap. The term overlaps. That is, modality has two degrees – intentional and extensional..
