WAYS OF EXPRESSION THE SEMANTICS OF A PHASE IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF MODERN PUBLICISTIC WRITINGS)

Abstract

The article describes features of expression of phase semantics in the German language in modern publicistic writings. This investigation and analysis is aimed at the content properties and compatibility of lexical units that actualize the meanings and ways of expression in the statement of the nature of the existence of events / phenomena – the course of phases of actions in time. The material presented in the paper leads to conclusion that the phase includes some definite regularities of functioning. The extralinguistic and linguistic components make themselves evident in the fact that they interact with the initial phase and the final phase of the action when the last-named finds its expression through semantic affiliation (verbs, nouns, adverbs). It should be emphasized that the medial phase is expressed implicitly in the sentence, the phase semantics at the same time occurs only within the context and becomes explicitly expressed directly in the presence of the initial phase and the final phase of the action.
