TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESSES IN THE SEMANTICS AND GRAMMAR OF TEMPORAL RELATIONS IN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article provides information about categorical features and functioning of components of temporal relations in language, explains mechanisms of their transformations, describes techniques and methods of linguistic modeling of linguistic signs that reflect the change of temporal functions and system relations in structural and connotative schemes. Special attention is paid to an analysis of specialized explicated means of expressing the category of time. The paper provides examples of the practical use of time components in the construction of text structures, demonstrates ways to solve communicative tasks by transforming individual time parameters. The authors conclude that in modern Russian, typological lexical, grammatical and extralinguistic means that determine the conceptual paradigm of time in the language system participate in the transformation processes of the designation of temporal categories.
