Abstract

The article deals with the issue of intercategorial interactions between the categories of taxis and aspectuality in the context of modern functional-semantic studies. In the course of the study, such general scientific and linguistic methods as hypothetical-deductive, inductive, descriptive, contextual, as well as the method of interpreting and generalizing linguistic facts were used. The purpose of this article is to describe the intercategorial interaction of the categories of taxis and aspectuality from the standpoint of a «focused» or «centered» approach. The scientific novelty of this study is due to the insufficient development of the issue of taxi-aspect interaction in the German language. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the general categorial language units of taxis and aspectuality, which are various aspectual quantifiers, act as explicators and determinants of conjugate primary-taxis categorial meanings of simultaneity, precedence and following in German statements with temporal prepositions bei, in, mit, während, seit, bis, nach, vor. Durative quantifiers (attributes, adverbials) determine durative-primary-taxis categorial meanings. Iterative adverbials and attributes specify the actualization of iterative-primary-taxis meanings, and phasic verbs determine the speech realization of various phase-primary-taxis meanings (inggressive-phase-taxis, egressive-phase-taxis and mid-phase-taxis).
