Taxis in utterances with verbs of motion in the Russian language: nonstandard simultaneity situations

The relevance of the work is determined by the neccessity in: 1) studying the interaction of lexical and grammatical semantics in characterizing situations that have a common conceptual basis of movement (chronological and spatial); 2) studying non-central grammatical phenomena, their semantics largely depending on the linguistic environment; 3) creating a system of subcategorization of non-standard taxis situations. The aim of the work is to identify the range of simultaneity situations expressed with finite verbs and adverbial participles with the semantics of movement contrasted in non-causativeness / causativeness. The material was literary texts of the XX-XXI centuries from the main subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus. Utterances with noncausative verbs of movement and causative adverbial participles of movement were analyzed. The material under study is peculiar due to the fact that the meaning of simultaneity is determined by the interaction of the lexical meanings of non-causative verbs of movement and causative adverbial participles of movement and extralinguistic factors. The main research method is functional analysis based on the theory of categorical situations by A.V. Bondarko. As a result of the study, two main types of aspectual-taxis situations were identified: the simultaneity of movement processes and the simultaneity of integral facts of movement. The simultaneity of movement processes includes 3 situations: 1) simultaneity of movement processes in the middle fixed periods; 2) prospective simultaneity of movement processes; 3) retrospective simultaneity of movement processes. The simultaneity of integral facts of movement includes 2 situations: 1) simultaneity of the results of integral movement facts; 2) simultaneity of integral movement facts when the result of causative movement is not actualized. The prospects for the work are to continue studying the role of lexical semantics in Russian taxis constructions and to compare utterances with adverbial participles.

Abstract

The relevance of the work is determined by the neccessity in: 1) studying the interaction of lexical and grammatical semantics in characterizing situations that have a common conceptual basis of movement (chronological and spatial); 2) studying non-central grammatical phenomena, their semantics largely depending on the linguistic environment; 3) creating a system of subcategorization of non-standard taxis situations. The aim of the work is to identify the range of simultaneity situations expressed with finite verbs and adverbial participles with the semantics of movement contrasted in non-causativeness / causativeness. The material was literary texts of the XX-XXI centuries from the main subcorpus of the Russian National Corpus. Utterances with noncausative verbs of movement and causative adverbial participles of movement were analyzed. The material under study is peculiar due to the fact that the meaning of simultaneity is determined by the interaction of the lexical meanings of non-causative verbs of movement and causative adverbial participles of movement and extralinguistic factors. The main research method is functional analysis based on the theory of categorical situations by A.V. Bondarko. As a result of the study, two main types of aspectual-taxis situations were identified: the simultaneity of movement processes and the simultaneity of integral facts of movement. The simultaneity of movement processes includes 3 situations: 1) simultaneity of movement processes in the middle fixed periods; 2) prospective simultaneity of movement processes; 3) retrospective simultaneity of movement processes. The simultaneity of integral facts of movement includes 2 situations: 1) simultaneity of the results of integral movement facts; 2) simultaneity of integral movement facts when the result of causative movement is not actualized. The prospects for the work are to continue studying the role of lexical semantics in Russian taxis constructions and to compare utterances with adverbial participles.
