Mutual relations in the sphere of temporal categories (based on the German language)

Statement of the problem. Due to the lack of coverage of issues describing inter-categorial relations in the sphere of interaction between taxis and other related semantic categories involved in the verbalization of the idea of time, this problem is relevant today. The purpose of this paper is to describe inter-categorial relations in the field of integrative interaction of inter-connected functional and semantic categories: taxis, temporality, aspectuality, and temporal localization. Methodology (materials and methods). The research is carried out within the framework of a functional and semantic approach to the study and description of semantic categories. The main methods used are: the method of directed sampling, hypothetical-deductive, inductive, descriptive methods, classification method, as well as a method of generalization and interpretation of linguistic material. The research material includes statements with taxis prepositions obtained by the method of directed sampling from the Leipzig National Corpus, the Russian National Corpus and the German Electronic Dictionary. Research results. In the course of the study, it was found out that due to the inter-categorial crossing of functional and semantic categories of taxis, temporality, aspectuality and temporal localization in German statements with prepositional deverbatives, various variants of primary-taxis categorial situations of simultaneity, precedence and consecution are actualized.
