BASIC PARAMETERS AND THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF WAY CONSTRUCTION STUDIES

Full
text RU

Abstract

The article aims to present critical interpretation and description of the theoretical and methodological aspects of way construction studies in the previous experience and to justify the reasonability to examine the construction from the viewpoint of cognitive linguistics. The author also aims to develop the definition of a way construction, to identify the key parameters determining the semantic specifics of the construction and to mention the unsolved problems associated with the studies of this lexico-grammatical phenomenon of the English language.
