НЕМЕЦКИЕ АФФИКСАЛЬНЫЕ ДЕВЕРБАТИВЫ И ИХ ТАКСИСНЫЕ ФУНКЦИИ
GERMAN AFFIXAL DEVERBATIVES AND THEIR TAXIS FUNCTIONS

Summary/Abstract: This article considers German affixal deverbative nouns ending with -en, -ung, -t and -e in the aspect of actualization of their taxis functions, implemented in statements with various prepositions. The purpose of the study is to describe the taxis functional of deverbatives of various derivational models that inherit the lexical and verbal semantics of generating verbs and participate in the process of actualization of primary-taxis and second-taxis meanings of simultaneity, precedence and succession. Affixal deverbatives of different lexical and derivational semantics become taxis participants, provided they retain their verbal and taxis semantics, as well as the property of reverbalizability, which allows them to be transformed back into the corresponding generating verbs. Affixal “reverbalizable” deverbatives realize their taxis functions of simultaneity/non-simultaneity in statements containing temporal and other adverbial prepositions. Prepositional-deverbative constructions are transformed into temporal clauses and other adverbial clauses with conjunctions of similar semantics when the deverbative is reverbalized into a generating verb. A diagnostic test for reverbalization confirms their verbal and taxis potencies, contextually realized as specific taxis functions. The main research methods are hypothetical-deductive, inductive, descriptive, contextual and transformational ones. The results of the study make a certain contribution to the theory of taxis and can be used to conduct further research in the field of functional grammar, analyzing the functionality of verbal names in other languages, namely in the comparative typological aspect.
