Abstract
The study aims to determine the types of situations denoted by sentences with German (zerbrechen, töten, bleichen, quellen, schmelzen, erschrecken, lassen) and English (to get, to make, to force, to cause, to let, to enable, to persuade, to permit) causative verbs, their onomasiological structure. Scientific novelty of the study lies in considering sentences with these causative verbs of the German and English languages as complex signs, the nominate of which is the situation of action and the situation of modal relation. As a result, the researcher has presented the types of situations of action (the situation of a person’s forced action; the situation of a person’s action in order to obtain a result; the situation of a person’s action that caused certain consequences) and the situation of modal relation (the relation of possibility), has determined their onomasiological structure.
