Grammatical Semantics of a Complex Sentence with an Immediate Succession Conjunction “yedva” [hardly]

Abstract

The question of qualifying the meaning of allied means, which in traditional grammar are defined as syntactic markers of “immediate” or “fast” succession, and in the part of corpus studies are considered as connectors of “immediate succession”, is studied. Complex sentences with a conjunction “yedva” [hardly] is the object of the study. The types of taxis relations that are expressed in such sentences are analyzed. The research has shown that the grammatical semantics of sentences with the conjunction of “immediate succession” is determined by a whole  complex of categorical features, the most important of which is the linguistic representation of time in events. This feature is an indicator of the category of the time order. It was found that the sentences under consideration signal “disturbance of the natural course of events”, and the marker of such a “failure” is a conjunction “yedva” [hardly]. The authors believe that its semantic function, is complicated by the meta-meaning “exaggeration”, which indicates a special communicative attitude of the speaker. The relevance of the research lies in the consistent functional and semantic interpretation of grammatical phenomena. Such interpretation takes into account the established grammatical tradition of considering syntactic units. In the context of modern linguistic research, the scientific continuity of research paradigms is extremely important.
