Abstract

The subject of this study is the description of the systemic-linguistic and concrete-speech connections of the functional-semantic categories of taxis and the categories/subcategories of temporality, aspectuality, iteration, duration and phaseness. The purpose of the work is a focused analysis of the intercategorical connections of taxis with the above semantic categories, which determine the actualization of conjugate primary-taxis categorical situations of simultaneity and diversity in German utterances with prepositional deverbatives. The relevance of the study, carried out in the traditions of functional grammar and on the basis of the functional-semantic approach used in it, is associated with insufficient knowledge of the issue of intercategorical interaction. The system-linguistic connections of interacting categories in the sphere of primary taxis are established and analyzed in the context of their speech realizations in a specific taxis environment. It is substantiated that German utterances with prepositional deverbatives are characterized by various general categorical elements that determine the actualization of conjugate taxis categorical situations in their variability. These are monotemporal and inclusive-temporal prepositions as taxis markers, as well as various verbs, deverbatives (iterative, phase) and adverbials (temporal, aspectual, etc.).
