Verbs of movement in long-acting forms in modern German

Abstract

The subject of the study is the characteristics of verbs of movement in the German language. The aim of the work was to identify the features of German verbs of movement, implemented in forms expressing long-term action ("Verlaufsformen"). These forms were peculiar to colloquial speech, but now some of them are already used as a language norm. After determining the corpus of analyzed verbs, each verb of movement was analyzed according to three possible forms of long-term action recorded by the dictionary. The characteristics of the presence/absence of a direct complement, a reflexive particle in the verb were considered, the frequency of territorial use and the possibility of implementation in speech were analyzed. The research methods were the continuous sampling method, the comparative analysis method, the description method, and the statistical method. В The scientific novelty of the study consists in a comprehensive description of the features of the functioning of movement verbs in long-acting forms in modern German. As a result, it was found that most verbs are implemented in the same long-acting form, some verbs are used in several forms, but at the same time a priority form is noted, all verbs have a similar implementation according to other signs indicated in the study. The results obtained can be used in the development of materials for theoretical courses on German grammar, theory and practice of translation, interpretation of text in German, communication with native speakers.
