VERBALS. The category of representation.

(P I & II, Gerund & Infinitive) constitute the marginal part of this class of words, overlap with non-processual parts of speech. Their mixed features are revealed in all the 3 principal spheres of part-of-speech characterization. The LGM is of dual nature . The verbal meaning of action, process is presented as some kind of substance in Infs & Gs or as quality in participles.

Formal features. Vls have peculiar morphemes, they possess some categories of finite form, aspect, order, voice, but are devoid others (number, person, mood, tence) which are important for primary predication. There’s dualty in combinability. They form connections with non-processual parts of speech like finite forms. Unlike finites they can combine with verbs the way nouns & advs do: He came in running. (modifiers)

The Infinitive is a non-finite form of the V, combines the properties of the V with those of the N. It serves as a verbal name of a process. It’s characterized by the categories of aspect (to be doing), order (to have asked), & voice (to be asked). The main theoretical problems are the lexico-grammatical status of the particle ‘to’ & whether the to-inf & the bare inf constitute 1 form of the V
