ACTUAL TRANSPOSED FORMS OF A NOUN (SEMANTICS OF THE STATE)

Abstract

Aim. The aim of this work is to consider the semantics and functioning of predicative prepositional-case forms of a noun as an updated way of formalizing the semantics of a state. Methodology. The article reveals the reasons, prerequisites, and conditions for the transition of prepositional-case forms of a noun to the category of state, and analyzes the signs of lexical and grammatical transformation of actual transposed forms of a noun on the examples of word forms в плюсе, в грусти. The methods of observation, generalization, structural and semantic analysis, statistical analysis, and scalar method were used in the stud. Results. The result of the analysis revealed that the prerequisites of transition prepositional-case forms of the noun in the category of state are the state semes and the estimated (or potentially estimated) semes, the ability of a word to “isolate" from the General system of declination and be used with copulas in a role of stable phrases, that regularly take predicative position. Research implications. The results of the research contribute to the development of the ideas of the semantics of the state and the category of the state and the theory of transitivity.
