INTERCATEGORIAL INTERSECTION OF THE INTERACTING CATEGORIES OF TAXIS, TEMPORALITY AND TEMPORAL LOCALIZATION

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to consider the issue of the intercategorial intersection of the interacting categories of taxis, temporality and temporal localization. The category of taxis is considered to be the center or focus of intercategorial connections leading to the categories of temporality and temporal localization. The category of taxis acts as a semantic marker, while the categories of temporality and temporal localization act as a semantic background. As a result of the study, it was found that the intersection of the categories of taxis, temporality and temporal localization is based on the semantic function of taxis and determines the actualization of primary-taxis situations of simultaneity, precedence and posteriority in German statements with temporal prepositions, temporal, local, iterative quantifiers and distributive verbs.
