FUNCTIONAL POTENTIAL OF TAXIS ACTUALIZERS (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF RUSSIAN PREPOSITIONAL DEVERBATIVES)

Aim. We consider Russian deverbatives ending in -ние / -ение, -тие / -ие, -к(а) / -овк(а) / -ёжк(а), -ация, -ч(а), -б(а), -ок, and -ø in the role of taxis actualizers.

Methodology. The paper analyzes various deverbatives used with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of temporal and adverbial semantics, such as во время, в течение, после, перед, до, с, по, накануне, при, под, для, ради, вопреки, несмотря на, невзирая на, вследствие, в силу, благодаря, из-за, от. Use is made of such methods as hypothetical-deductive, inductive, descriptive, and classification methods, as well as the method of generalization and interpretation of linguistic material.

Results. It is found that deverbatives used with prepositions of temporal semantics actualize primary-taxis categorial situations of simultaneity, precedence and sequence. When combined with prepositions of adverbial semantics, they act as actualizers of secondary-taxis categorial situations of simultaneity.

Research implications. The paper examines the problem of actualizing taxis categorial situations of simultaneity and non-simultaneity in Russian statements with prepositional deverbatives. The obtained results make a contribution to the taxis theory and can be used in teaching language theory and functional grammar courses.
