The development of modern linguistics is characterized by ever more frequent attention of linguists to questions of the semantic structure of some lexical units of the modern Russian language. Many researchers point in their works on the “many aspects” of the semantics of impersonal verbs.The study of the semantics of impersonal verbs is carried out within the category of impersonality at the morphological-syntactic level. The results of already conducted studies show that the semantics of the verb is complex, diverse and interesting, and therefore deserves special attention.The aim and objectives of the paper consist in a detailed examination of the causes contributing to changes in the use of impersonal verbs in the case of syntactic parallelism. The specificity of the expression of action and the state of the impersonal verbs are determined, their grammatical and semantic classification is realized, and extralinguistic as well as linguistic factors that lead to semantic changes in the structure of impersonal verbs are grouped.
