CATEGORY OF PERSON IN THE GRAMATIC SYSTEM OF VERB

Abstract

The study of the semantic, formal-grammatical and functional features of a word as a universal linguistic sign is based on the discovery of the mechanism of different parts of speech categorical meanings interaction in a sentence, speech acts, in a text. The article aims to characterize the category of person in the grammatical system of the verb. The verb has peculiar complex of morphological categories, including: voice, tense, verb aspect, voice, transitivity / intransitivity, person. The complexity of this part of speech, according to many scientists, is not limited variety by its syntactic functions in the sentence. The verb’s category implements the «personified» semantics in a sentence structure based on its connection with personal and demonstrative pronouns that occupy the position of the subject, the addressee, the one who does not participate in the communicative act. The content of the verb includes the seme, which deliver the action attitude to animate – inanimate noun, which is objectified in the grammatical category of the person and its valency. Relativity of the verb semantics defines intrinsic features of it not only in the focus on the effectiveness (limitation) of action as an expression of categorical semantics of aspectality, but also on a characteristic feature of personality: the manifestation of the subject’s object. Consequently, in a real sentence verbs are two-subjective, and these subjects are interpreted as the source of the designated by the verb event and as the «creators» of the predicative sign that determines the formation of the corresponding categorical meaning of the verb.
