Intercategorical interactions in non-prototypical taxis constructions of the German language

The subject of the research is the description of intercategorial interactions in nonprototypical taxis constructions of the German language. The aim of the work is to analyze the intercategorical connections of taxis with the semantic categories of instrumentality, conditionality, causality, concession and consecutivity. The mutual connections of the above categories specify the second-taxis actualization or adverbial-taxis categorical meanings of simultaneity in utterances with prepositional-deverb combinations. The relevance of the research is related to the lack of study of the issue of intercategorial relationships of semantic categories established at the paradigmatic level and implemented in a syntagmatic context, that is, in non-prototypical taxis constructions with adverbial prepositions. It is revealed that the relationships of interacting categories are realized in concrete speech utterances with prepositional-deverbative constructions with prepositions of instrumental, conditional, causal, concessive, consecutive semantics bei, mit, durch, wegen, aus, vor, ungeachtet, trotz, infolge. They condition the actualization of such second-taxis categorical meanings of simultaneity as instrumental-taxis, medial-taxis, conditional-taxis, concessive-taxis and consequential-taxis.
