REPRESENTATION OF THE FRAME «MOVING IN SPACE» THROUGH THE VERBS OF MOVEMENT IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE
This article discusses MOVING IN SPACE frame in German, defines its concepts and slots that find their language expression through the eight most common verbs of the movement such as gehen, laufen, kommen, wandern, treten, fahren, fliegen, schwimmen. The basis for constructing the frame is a technique of identifying integral and differential semes. The identified integral semes allowed the authors to define four concepts: the medium of movement; nature of movement; means of transportation; intensity of movement. Using corpus research based on the COSMAS electronic linguistic corpus, the study reveals the ability of verbs to express various slots of established concepts. The carried out semantic analysis has made it possible to identify the verbs of movement gradation according to the representation of slots in the frame structure MOVING IN SPACE. The verb with the most extensive semantics is the verb «kommen», since it is able to express the largest number of slots during operation. The dominant concept in the frame structure MOVING IN SPACE is the «medium of movement», since this concept determines the specification of the remaining selected slots. The findings of the analysis are reflected in the cognitive map of the MOVING IN SPACE frame including the set of individual concepts (integral attributes) and slots that implement them (differential semes).
