Prepositional deverbatives in instrumental-taxis and causal-taxis categorical situations

Arkhipova I.

The proposed article is devoted to the description of statements with prepositional deverbatives containing taxis semantics of simultaneity. The article considers statements with prepositional deverbatives that actualize the taxis values of simultaneity in instrumental-taxis and causal-taxis categorical situations. The statements with prepositional deverbatives represent various types of taxis complexes (instrumental, medial, conditional, actually causal, final, and concessive taxis). The analyzed statements include «non-chronological» values of logical conditioning and relate to the secondary taxis.

Keywords:prepositional deverbatives, taxis values of simultaneity, instrumental-taxis categorical situation, causal-taxis categorical situation, secondary taxis.
