THE ROLE OF PREPOSITIONAL PARTICLES WITH SPATIAL MEANING IN THE SEMANTIC OF GERMAN COLLOQUIAL VERBAL UNITS

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the role and place of German preverbal units with adverbial character under verbalization of the conceptual category "space". The article presents the results of semantic and functional specificity (peculiarities) of German preverbal particle aus- studies based on the corpus of colloquial German with word-formative and cognitive analysis involved. Reference to etymology and semantics of the preverbal particle reveals cognitive and semantic potentiality of aus-. The author suggests the system of meanings of preverbal articles formed around the space invariant either directly or indirectly determined by its existence. The study differentiates the main word- formative patterns of verbal units including the above mentioned particle: verbal units with locative and verbal units with aggressive meaning. Thus, the author analyses the specificity and regularity (patterns) of preverbal particle semantics depending on the semantics of the producing verb within the framework of the detected models.
