Verb: General and Non Finite Forms
LECTURE 5
VERB: GENERAL. NON-FINITE FORMS (VERBIDS).
PERSON AND NUMBER. TENSE.
1. The verb as a notional word denoting process. Its formal and functional properties.
2. Grammatically relevant subclasses of the verb; notional, functional, and semi-functional verbs. 2a. groups of functional and semi-functional verbs.
2b. groups of notional verbs.
3. Verbal valency subgroups.
4. The category of finitude: finite and non-finite forms of the verb (finites and verbids). Problematic status of the non-finite forms of the verb in the classification of parts of speech. Verbids as phenomena of mixed (hybrid, intermediary) nature.
5. The infinitive as a verbal form of mixed processual-substantive nature and the basic form of verbal paradigms. Semi-predicative infinitive constructions.
6. The gerund as a verbal form of mixed processual-substantive nature. The infinitive, the gerund and the verbal noun: their correlation in expressing processual semantics (the lexico-grammatical category of processual representation). Semi-predicative gerundial constructions.
7. The participle as a verbal form of mixed processual-qualitative nature. The distinctions between two types of participles. Semi-predicative participial constructions. Functional differences between participle I and the gerund.
8. The category of number and person. Their reflective nature. The blending of their morphemic expression. The forms of person and number of different groups of verbs. The oppositional presentation of the category. The “notional concord” cases.
9. The general notion of time and lingual temporality; lexical and grammatical means of time expression. Absolutive and non-absolutive time; relative and factual time.
