Taxis and causality: integral segment

Arkhipova I.

The article deals with functional and semantic categories of taxis and causality in the aspect of their inter-categorical integration. The statements with prepositional deverbatives with taxis-forming prepositions of causal semantics bei, in, mit, durch, aus, wegen, vor, aufgrund, благодаря, ради, для, из-за, because, through, at, by, wegens, vanwege represent the integral segment of intersection functionally-semantic fields of taxis and causality. In statements with prepositional deverbatives in German, English, Dutch and Russian, various causal-taxis categorical situations of simultaneity are actualized, including conjugated temporal-causal-taxis, conditional-causal-taxis, and iterative-causal-taxis.

Keywords:functional-semantic field, taxis, causality, inter-categorical integration, integral segment, causal-taxis categorical situations, simultaneity.
