FUTURE SIMPLE TENSE FORM IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. BIO-COGNITIVE UNDERSTANDING

Abstract

Future Simple Tense form is understood as a means of adaptation to the environment at the moment of person’s speech as the subject of cognition. It is concluded that this aspect-tense form represents the notion, the speaker’s structuralist knowledge mostly abstracted from the original source of perception, rather than direct or indirect sensual experience of the observer. It is mentioned that a person cannot fully assume the role of an observer in the utterance construction.
