Grammatically the verb is the most complex part of speech. This is due to the central role it performs in the expression of the predicative functions of the sentence, i.e. the functions establishing the connection between the situation (situational event) named in the utterance and reality. The complexity of the verb is inherent not only in the intricate structure of its grammatical categories, but also in its various subclass divisions, as well as in its falling into two sets of forms profoundly different from each other: the finite set and the non-finite set.
The complicated character of the grammatical and lexico-grammatical structure of the verb has given rise to much dispute and controversy. However, the application of the principles of systemic linguistic analysis to the study of this interesting sphere of language helps overcome many essential-difficulties in its theoretical description, and also a number of terminological disagreements among the scholars. This refers in particular to the fundamental relations between the categories of tense and aspect, which have aroused of late very heated disputes.
It is but natural that the verb should take up as much, or indeed, more space than all the other parts of speech we have so far considered, put together. It is the only part of speech in present-day English that has a morphological system based on a series of categories. It is the only part of speech that has analytical forms, and again the only one that has forms (the infinitive, the gerund and the participle) which occupy a peculiar position in its system and do not share some of the characteristic features of the part of speech as a whole. (Collins,1988).
The adverbs quickly and slowly, marking a temporal progression from one kinetic quantum to another, can generally be combined with verbs of motion. External temporal specification in English verbs of motion.
From the perspective of the internal temporal contour of motion verbs, manner of motion verbs are generally mute with regard to an inherent direction or a specific goal (location) of motion. That is, they are, in the absence of an ‘overt delimiter’, basically atelic – consider the atelic I ran versus the potentially telic I ran to the store (cf., e.g., Levin and Rappaport Hovav 1992, Dini and Di Tomaso 1999).
In our work we studied the verb “to walk” as the verb of motion and its corresponding synonyms, brought their explanation, being based on a number of examples from fiction.
According to its general meanings the verb “to walk” means to move forwards by putting one foot in front of the other. Like almost all the English verbs the verb “to walk” has different meanings, as well as is used with prepositions, composing phrasal verbs and in idioms.
The verb “to walk” is used without object and with object. It means to advance or travel on foot at a moderate speed or pace; proceed by steps; to move by advancing the feet alternately so that there is always one foot on the ground in bipedal locomotion and two or more feet on the ground in quadrupedal locomotion; to move about or travel on foot for exercise or pleasure; to move in a manner suggestive of walking, as through repeated vibrations or the effect of alternate expansion and contraction. It also means to proceed through, over, or upon at a moderate pace on foot; to cause to walk; to lead, to drive, or ride at a walk, as an animal and to force or help to walk, as a person.
