The research has developed a new theoretical and methodological concept meant to compare the cognitive and grammatical design of prepositional causativity/casuality in English, Modern Greek and Ukrainian. The synopsis has determined 5 common types of invariant/variant models of prepositional design of causative situations in English, Modern Greek and Ukrainian, compiled the register of causative prepositions, the markers of causative/consecutive relations, different in each of the languages under research. For situations of existential causativity, it is the phasal nature that is the characteristic classification feature common for the three languages. Its representatives are predicates meant to determine the beginning and the ending phases of existence. The group of actional causativity uniting the agent’s acts and the events is the most voluminous of all the three languages being compared. Statal prepositional causativity runs second in number in Modern Greek and Ukrainian and second in the two most voluminous in English. It is the components of the situation that is common for the three languages: the agent; the state of the agent; the cause (internal/external). The distinctive feature appears to be the methods of realization of this meaning. The situation of characterizing causativity includes subjective and objective features as well as properties of an individual (behavioral, social characteristics, etc.) Product Description popup.authors Kanna Viktoria Yu.
