Abstract. The article deals with the issue of discourse semantic exhaustiveness. The paper studies language units manifesting completeness of a human’s mental activity. The authors describe the characteristic features of language units expressing an individual’s extremely complete picture of things. The basic thesis is that the existing utterances expressing the utmost concept in speech reflect indecomposable into smaller components being and are characterized by the lowest explicative potential of speech.
