TEMPORAL MARKERS OF ECONOMIC EVENTS

Abstract

The present paper seeks to analyze the types and functions of temporal markers in economic events. As is known, time localization is considered to be an inextricable part of any economic event. Real physical time is reflected in the language, maintaining correlation between the objective reality and the information provided. The element under issue is achieved via a wide range of grammatical and lexical means, the use of which is substantially preconditioned by the intentions of the author to directly/indirectly indicate the time of the event. In business news, temporal markers define the reliability and actuality of the given information.
