SEMANTIC PECULIARITIES OF DERIVATIVE CAUSAL PREPOSITIONS IN THE CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN LANGUAGE
The article is devoted to the study of one of the relevant problems of the Russian philology - semantic peculiarities of derivative causal prepositions in the contemporary Russian language. The semantic specificity of derivative causal prepositions is stipulated by the lexical meaning of their constituent nominal components or the words producing them, directly determining their inseparable word-formative and lexical-semantic relations with other notional words. The degree of the loss of meaning of the nominal basis of derivative causal prepositions predetermines the degree of not only their semantic specificity, but also of the prepositionality of prepositional-case combinations used in the speech in order to express a special type of causal semantics.
