Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of semantics and functioning of primary and secondary prepositions of the genitive case in German-language legal discourse. The authors attempt to systematise the prepositions of the genitive case on which basis of their semantics and functional meaning in legal texts, and also trace certain regularities of the transition of full-meaning parts of speech, including prepositional groups of nouns, into service parts of speech, namely into secondary prepositions of the genitive case. These semantic-syntactic transformations are possible due to the peculiarities of the linguistic system of the German language, namely, due to the presence of structural-semantic models on the basis of which the serial formation of secondary prepositions of the genitive case in German takes place. Semantic transformation in the formation of secondary prepositions from fully meaningful parts of speech is of great importance.
