Functional-semantic category taxis in the Russian linguistics

This article is devoted to the consideration of the functional-semantic category of taxis in Russian linguistics. Prepositional deverbatives are constituents of the functional-semantic field of the dependent German taxis. The statements with prepositional deverbatives with prepositions of the meaning während, vor, nach, seit are central components of the functional-semantic field of the dependent taxis. German statements with the prepositions of heterogeneous semantics in, bei, mit, unter are peripheral constituents of this functional-semantic field. In the statements with syncretic complexes containing heterogeneous prepositions in, bei, mit, unter, circumstances-taxis relations of simultaneity are formed: modal, medial, conditional and causal-taxis relations.
