On the ambiguity of the grammatical structure of the German Futurum

the ambiguity of linguistic units is a consequence of the asymmetry between form and content and makes it necessary to analyze both internal relations and the patterns of functioning of these units in the communication process. Contextual analysis makes it possible to identify the conditions for the actualization of a particular grammatical meaning of the futurum in a matching type of context, while simultaneously highlighting relevant, favorable and neutral contexts. The juxtaposing type of context in the study is understood as a whole, cohesive sentence, a complex syntactic whole based on the opposition of the futurum form to another temporal form of the present or past tense, complemented by the opposition of minor actors of expression. The primary and secondary components of the compared utterance include equilex subjects. One of the favorable types of context contributing to the actualization of the temporal significance of the futurum I form is the context based on the opposition of the futurum form to the form of the present tense. The fact of using futurum in the case when the future tense is opposed to the present is often considered from the point of view of choosing futurum or presentation in a certain context, as well as synonymy and interchangeability of these forms. The article focuses on the possibility of using futurum forms in the modal meaning of a sentence in a comparative context. The purpose of the study is to identify cases of usage in the context of, along with the forms of futurum I-II in the temporal meaning of the future, the forms of futurum in the modal hypothetical meaning.
