Abstract. The article describes the ways and means of expressing the evaluation of benefit in sentences that have two nouns in combination with a link in the predicative core. The place of utilitarian evaluation in the system of evaluative knowledge is determined. A scale of such evaluation "useful – harmless – indifferent – useless – harmful" is presented, and the identification of a neutral zone on it, formed by the value 'indifferent', is justified. The elements of the sentence with the utilitarian evaluation are identified, and the predominant representation of this evaluation in the link-substantive predicate is noted. The structure of the utilitarian evaluation of benefit in bisubstantive sentences is analyzed and described: the subject of evaluation, the subject of benefit or the subject of harm, the object of evaluation and the basis for evaluation, which coincides with the goal. The identification of the subject of harm is motivated. Productive grammatical means of expressing the utilitarian evaluation of benefit in bisubstantive sentences have been established. Cases of combining different subject types in this kind of sentences are characterized. Three groups of possible subjects of benefit were studied: a person (specific and abstract), a group of people (specific and abstract), animals as a special group in which the subjects of evaluation are always combined. The potential of utilitarian benefit evaluation compatibility with other types of evaluation is determined.
Key words: bisubstantive sentences, utilitarian evaluation, evaluation scale, subject of evaluation, subject of benefit, subject of harm, object of evaluation, Russian language.
