Here, we find it important to note that diEferences in semantically distinguished properties of verbal aspectual classes are systematically conditioned and related to the key ideas of the Russian and Japanese language world-construal, i.e., it appears also in contiguous fields of the language system-in morphology, word formation, semantics, and the usage ofverbs. 2. Interpretation and fragmentation of reality in language world-construal Diffbrences in the way of interpreting dynamic situations between languages concern, first of all, dififerent ways of separating a fragment of reality present in the sight of a speaker, the choice of diffbrent semantic properties fbr its nomination, and also linguistic devices for its expression. Let us illustrate our thesis by the fbllowing examples.
