Cognitive Aspects of the Verb Paradigm in the English Literature

This article represents the analysis of different aspects of the English verb such as: word building, degree of proximity, functional completeness and word building. This article presents the results of the analysis of the various types of the English ergative verbs, in particular: phrasal verbs, analytic constructions and minor ones. In the article the connections of the paradigmatic elements of the ergative field of the verbs and their syntagmatic features are investigated. Purpose. The purpose of this article is to establish the factors that affect the degree of functional closeness of the verbs in functional class and the completeness of their implementation inflectional paradigms, as well as inspection of the functional classification of the verbs and analyze text features of English verbs. The aim of our study is a more detailed study of the ergative verbs in such aspects as syntax and morphology. Methods. The methodology of this research is the comparative analysis of different linguists’ approaches to analyze the functional classes of English verbs, word building of their form, their degree of proximity and degree of functional completeness of implementation verbal paradigm. Distributive and functional analysis is used to research the degree of completeness and implementation of the verbal paradigms: the number of values morphemic structure, etymology and frequency of the verb usage. The research method is the analysis of the valence of the English ergative verbs semantics, distributive transformation and semantic-syntactic types of the analysis. Results. The significance of the functional verb classes’ establishment is the number of realized inflectional forms. The functional classes are represented as a result of the structural word creative verbal paradigms functioning patterns in the literature texts. The functional classes of the English verbs can be characterized by a certain structure. That includes three main components: a core, periphery and intermediate branch. Also, it is important to note that each functional class has a number of levels of the structure. These levels depend on the number of strong, medium and weak links between the verbs and it is called as functional degree of proximity. The functional proximity of the English verbs can be determined by the peculiarities of their functioning, such as the number of realized inflectional forms and its frequency. There are five main types of paradigms. The implementation of the interconnections between the elements within the field of the ergativeness in the English language takes place. These include the following: grammatical, lexical, semantic, nominative, and functional-semantic. Same features are characteristic of the depth ergativeness level of the languages in the ergative typology. These include the actants in the position of the non-transitive sentence subject and the actants of the transient sentence object. They have a patience character. This means that they have semantic-syntactic features of the objectivity and a carrier of the quality and condition
