Abstract

This paper is focused on the process of intercategorial (cross-part-of-speech) transposition (translation, transition) of the descriptive concept of destructiveness, taking the interaction between the central parts of speech – noun and verb – as an example. The idea of the existence in the language of a tendency towards intercategorial transition was expressed in the works by A.A. Potebnya, A.M. Peshkovsky, L.V. Shcherba, E. Kurilovich, C. Bally, F.S. Batsevich, A.V. Bondarko, R.M. Gaisina, T.G. Rabenko, O.B. Sirotinina and others. Translations (transpositions) in verb–noun interactions reflect the transition of the concept from the original verbal to the non-original nominal category (destroy → destruction), and the other way: from the nominal to the original verbal category (destroy → destruction → cause destruction). Depending on the grammatical-categorial nature, there are singled out procedural, descriptive and subject fields centred by verbs, adjectives, and nouns, respectively. Hence, the need arises to study cross-part-of-speech semantic fields. The cross-part-of-speech field, centred by destructive verbs can be interpreted semantically as a predicative-actantial field, which includes: a) verbal and substantive names of situations; b) names of participants (actants) in the situations; c) names of places (locatives) intended for the destructive situation; d) names of instrumental actants; e) names of the characteristics of individual elements and participants in this situation. It should be noted that the theory of intercategorial (cross-part-of-speech) transition of the descriptive concept as an active trend in the language is one of the most important factors in enriching the vocabulary.
