COGNITIVE BASES OF CONVERTIBILITY IN VERBS OF THE "FLIESEN" TYPE AND SUCH CONSTRUCTIONS AS «VERSEHEN MIT FLIESEN» IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article features the role of predication in the process of actual utterance generation. Predication forms the logical structure of an  abstract model situation, whose components are connected by  logical valency. Reflection of reality in the mind of the speaker occurs in the form of logical-grammatical predicates. A predicative sign of  the logical-grammatical category of predicativity constitutes a  sentence. It implies various logical and grammatical predicates. They are immanently inherent in thematic groups of verbs, with the help  of which they are actualized in the utterance. The material of the study is represented by such constructions as "versehen mit  Fliesen" and similar verbs, e.g. "fliesen". The prepositional /  unrepresentative group of the noun acts as a semantic marker in the thematic group of verbs. The research employs H. Glintz’s test  elimination and proves that the semantic marker is a part of the  actual predicate. Convertibility of constructions with a prepositional /  non-prepositional noun and the corresponding verb allows us to  conclude that they have a common logical-semantic predicate in the  "deep" plane. The results of the research can be successfully used in  courses of theoretical and systematizing grammar, stylistics and text interpretation.
