Locative Reference Point As A Marker Of Spatial Conceptuali

Abstract

The locativity category has philosophical and linguistic interpretations. Linguistics regards locativityas a category encompassing the entire spectrum of spatial meanings represented by such main variations as static, dynamics, transitivity. The category under consideration has been reflected on the sentence level of the structural submodel Sub + Praed + Adv loc with its attached invariant semantics ‘carrier of procedural characteristic + procedural characteristic + spatial boundaries of procedural characteristic’. Formation of differential meanings as specific representatives of invariant content plane is done through all constituent positions –subject, predicate, and near-predicate. The complex locative mechanism is reflected by sentences with the following denotative situations: ‘somebody (something) is residing somewhere’, ‘something (somebody) is heading some-where with registering spatial coordinates –start, finish, both start and finish simultaneously’, ‘something (somebody) is heading somewhere without registering spatial coordinates’. Locative conceptualization mechanism is complex, with its important marker being a locative reference point related to the real roundabouts of somebody or something.
