Categorical Semantics of Dependent Taxis in Russian Language

This article discusses the categorical semantics of the dependent taxis and its actualization in Russian statements with prepositional deverbatives. Statements with prepositional deverbatives constitute a micro-field of dependent taxis in the Russian language and differ in heterogeneity and various degrees of prototypically. Statements of chronological type with taxis-forming prepositions of temporal semantics во время, в течение, после, перед, до, с, при, накануне form the sphere of primary (primal, chronological, logically unconditioned) taxis. In statements of a logically conditioned type with heterogeneous-taxis prepositions of non-temporal semantics несмотря на, вопреки, в силу, благодаря, из-за, от, вследствие, ради, для represent the values of secondary (adverbial, circumstance, logically conditioned) taxis. In statements of the multiple type with iterative deverbatives, verbs and in the presence of iterative quantifiers of the type: каждый раз, всякий раз, часто, всегда, иногда, регулярно and others, various conjugate iterative-taxis categorical situations of simultaneity, precedence and consecutive are actualized: iterative-primary taxis and iterative-secondary-taxis (in “pure form” or with circumstantial elements of logical conditioning).This article discusses the categorical semantics of the dependent taxis and its actualization in Russian statements with prepositional deverbatives.
