Productive verb prefixation patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper discusses a set of verbal prefixes which, when added to a verb together with a reflexive morpheme, change the verb’s meaning always in the same manner. The prefixes form a sequence according to the degree of intensity with which they modify the verbal action. We present the process of verb intensification in three Slavic languages, namely Czech, Slovak and Russian.

Verb-Particle Constructions And Lexical Resources
In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of verb-particle constructions, discussing their characteristics and their availability for use with NLP systems. We concentrate in particular on the coverage provided by some electronic resources. Given the constantly growing number of verb-particle combinations, possible ways of extending the coverage of the available resources are investigated, tak...
متن کاملTheMacro-Sudan Belt and Niger-Congo Reconstruction
Basing himself largely on areal and typological arguments, Güldemann (2010) claims that neither Proto-Niger-Congo nor Proto-Bantu had more than a “moderate” system of derivational verb suffixes (“extensions”), and that both proto languages lacked inflectional verb prefixes. Although drawing largely on the same materials as Hyman (2004, 2007a,b), he arrives at the opposite conclusion that Niger-...
متن کاملLearning Verb Classes in an Incremental Model
The ability of children to generalize over the linguistic input they receive is key to acquiring productive knowledge of verbs. Such generalizations help children extend their learned knowledge of constructions to a novel verb, and use it appropriately in syntactic patterns previously unobserved for that verb—a key factor in language productivity. Computational models can help shed light on the...
متن کاملModeling Russian Verbs of Motion: An Analogical Account
This paper presents research into verb of motion (VOM) constructions in Russian. These constructions are difficult since they involve (i) selection of an appropriate verb (with possible prefixation); (ii) selection of an appropriate preposition; and (iii) selection of an appropriate case for marking the prepositional object. A brief sketch of relevant literature frames the problem. We then disc...
متن کاملSuperlexical vs. lexical prefixes
This paper is intended to justify the classification of all the Russian prefixes into lexical and superlexical. It gives semantic and syntactic criteria for distinguishing between the two groups, including: the idiosyncratic or spatial lexical meaning versus operator-like function; the (in)ability to measure over objects and events; the (in)ability to stack; the (in)ability of a host verb to fo...
