GRAMMATICAL MEANS OF PROSPECTIVITY REPRESENTATION IN THE MODERN ROMANCE LANGUAGES
The article focuses on the problem of prospectivity representation in the modern Romance languages (French, Spanich, Italian and Portuguese). The matter of the research deals with the category of prospectivity in the modern Romance languages. The subject is the grammatical means of its realization. The work aims to analyse the grammatical means of prospecticity actualization as exemplified in the French, Spanich, Italian and Portuguese languages. The research ascertained that verbs of motion are the constant source for prospectivity formation in Iberian Romance languages: the semantic of such verbs reflects the initial acquisition of prospective meaning, namely the movement forward. As the result, we can claim that the semantic grammatical nature of the verb has already contained the ability of inchoative (the beginning of action). The main conclusions corresponded to the research proposes are the following: the means of prospectivity representation in the Romance languages include: 1) verbal constructions, which contain the verbs of motion or positions (to go/to leave, to come/to have) + a national verb; 2) modal constructions with the meaning of «which», «necessity» / «foresight» or «possibility»; 3) sentences in the Present tense, followed by adverbial modifier of time (later, soon, once). the verbs «to go», «to leave», «to come» and «to have» are the most spread way of evolution for prospectivity representation in the Iberian Romance languages. At the sometime the verbs «to go» and «to come» are the most spread means of future tense expressions; the markers such as «almost» and imperative can be added to the periphery of prospectivity. However, the action interpretation expressed with the help of these markers should be analysed through the context. Consequently, the forms of the present tense with the future meaning are the advanced means of futurality in all the Romance languages. Nowadays these forms can express the planned future. Further they can change their meanings and obtain future meaning as a main one while loosing their functions.
