Abstract

The article is a case-study оf the XIX century English drama. It is aimed at discussing the verb functional semantics as means of forming a polycategorial (Tense-Aspect-Taxis) complex in a drama dialogue. The resulting evidence is a plausible association of the playwright’s choice of verb forms (for a polycategorial complex) and the communicative type of a dialogic module, which possibly reflects the language worldview of the English society of the time via respective literary trends in the English drama.
