Abstract. The article is devoted to studying categorial paradigm of the causative verb "help" which is realized in the analytical construction "help somebody (to) do something". The key factors in the semantics of the verb "help" are the parameters of two propositions - causator and causat. Causator is analyzed as a subject or mediator of responsibility. The paper postulates the potential of using the verb in taxonomic categories "action", "incident" and "activity".
