What is the verb sequential actions. The concept of the mode of verbal action

(way verb action, feasibility, Aktionsart), a type of modification of the verbal action, expressed by certain word-building means (prefixes, suffixes, a combination of a prefix and a suffix or a prefix and a postfix). Yes, the verb make a noise represents an initiatory mode of action denoted by the verb make noise, walk around- multiple mode of action from the verb walk, cough- intermittent softening mode of action from the verb cough, a cough- a single mode of action from the same verb, etc.

The mode category is closely related to the view category. According to A.V. Isachenko, the type and mode of action are different manifestations of the same phenomenon, which are in additional distribution. Therefore, the verb associated with some original verb of the opposite form is either its aspectual correlate or its regular semantic modification, i.e. way of action. Thereby, hallmark ways of verbal action it turns out that they have no specific correlates. This point of view is shared, however, not by all aspectologists. The most compelling argument against including the feature of aspectual disparity in the definition of the mode of action is the fact that the ban on the formation of the secondary imperfective in Russian is almost always not absolute: for example, the forms buy up or fade(inconsistent to buy and bloom) are simply normative, and forms like sit out keep watch, get sick or get loose do not contradict Russian morphological system and constantly appear in speech.

At present, the approach is more accepted, according to which the type and mode of action are considered as phenomena different order, although they belong to the same conceptual sphere. Namely, the view is grammatical category, and the mode of action is derivational. At the same time, since the content side of both categories is largely common (the internal structure and the way the action flows in time), in principle, one and the same verb can turn out to be at the same time a specific correlate to some verb of the opposite kind, and one of its modes of action - if it simultaneously satisfies the functional criterion of species correlativity ( cm. VIEW) and in addition, in its form and meaning, it corresponds to one of the modes of action. So, for example, the verb please is also a species correlate to like and its initiatory mode of action - unlike the verb fall in love, which is only a mode of action, but not a species correlate to be in love. Type verbs jump, throw or bite are at the same time a single mode of action to jump, throw and bite and their species correlates. In other words, the content side of the aspect category and the content side of the mode category are very close; the difference between them concerns the functional side and ultimately boils down to the fact that belonging to one of the two types is obligatory for any Russian verb, but belonging to one of the modes of action is not. Yes, we can say He often visited me(multiple mode of action) - if we want to specifically express the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bmultipleness in the verb. But we can describe the same situation with the words He often visited me, leaving this idea unexpressed in the verb.

Most modes of action are derived from verbs imperfect form: by adding a prefix, the process indicated by the original imperfective verb is limited in a certain way - quantitatively or qualitatively (cf. start talking"stop talking" dissuade= "stop talking", speak out all evening, talk about weather, slander nonsense reach an agreement to the point of absurdity, etc.); such methods of action themselves refer to the perfect form - with the exception of those that include the perfective suffix in their formal indicator ( walk willow be, on smatr willow th, at dance ywa t). On the other hand, there are some modes of action formed from perfective verbs ( come up with stories; all the trees in the garden frozen).

The main modes of action of the Russian verb include the following.

Introductory modes of action, which include inchoative and aggressive. An inchoative mode of action is formed using the prefix behind- and belongs to the most productive; it is regularly formed from the designations of homogeneous situations that have neither an initial nor a final phase other than the middle one, for example: make a noise, ring out, meow, whistle, mumble, whisper, drum, stink;fade, fade, get excited, doubt, be capricious, put on airs; come in around the room, run in, dance, breathe etc. Inchoative verbs seem to "cut out" initial segment situation by which the whole situation can be identified. Therefore, the verbs from which this mode of action is derived must describe relatively "simple" situations - those that can be identified in this small segment of their course. Yes, you can say The telephone rang, but not * She called on the phone, - since the action “to call the phone”, in contrast to just “to call”, is not homogeneous: it consists of a sequence of heterogeneous actions united by some goal and comprehended through it. Therefore, most verbs with inchoative behind- denote phenomena perceived by the senses. An important feature verbs of the inchoative mode of action is the absence of secondary imperfectives in them. Inchoative verbs adjoin a number of verbs that could be called improperly inchoative: get sick, bloom, smoke, start talking, sing, catch fire, boil, - having, in contrast to proper inchoative verbs, correlative forms of the imperfective form (respectively: get sick, bloom, smoke, start talking, sing along, catch fire, boil); these correlative imperfective verbs have the meaning of the process of passing the initial phase. The productivity of the inchoative mode of action is manifested in the abundance of neoplasms made according to this model; compare: to respect, to despise, to have, get together home, request walk, sob etc.

Another type of initial meaning is represented by the ingressive mode of action, which includes verbs with the prefix on- . This includes two groups of verbs. On the one hand, these are verbs denoting directed movement; combined with attachment on- they mark the beginning of the corresponding movement (as well as the action as a whole): go, run, fly, ride, jump, rush, blow(about the wind) water(about the rain) knock down(about snow) crumble etc. At the same time, if the inchoative mode of action allows one to “see” the described action, to imagine the mode of flow characteristic of it, the aggressive mode of action only indicates the fact that the action has begun and, thus, is most likely to be carried out. On the other hand, a number of verbs with the prefix on- formed from the verbs of perception and internal state: to seem, to feel, to feel, to imagine, to think, to love, to like. However, all these verbs (with the exception of fall in love) also describe not only the beginning of the state, but also the very fact of its presence.

Delimitative(= restrictive) mode of action is formed from verbs denoting non-limiting processes, using the prefix on- ; Verbs this method actions describe some "portion" of an action, estimated as small and limited by the time during which it was performed, for example: take a walk, ride, live, to play, fly, wave, shut up, work and many others. etc. Verbs of a delimitative mode of action tend to turn into a specific correlate. Yes, the verb eat, depending on the circumstances, can act in both functions, cf .: Eat my ice cream(delimitative mode of action) and Have you already eaten? (used as the aspective correlate of the verb there is). Delimitative verbs never undergo secondary imperfectification; type verbs cough, smoke, walk, which can be taken as secondary imperfectives to cough, smoke, walk, they are not: they represent a different mode of action, namely, intermittent softening, the formal indicator of which is the combination of the prefix on- with suffix - willow-.

perdurative(= long-term-restrictive) mode of action is formed by the prefix pro- and denotes an action that seems to completely "fill" a certain period of time. If we say that a person worked for thirty years at the factory, been idle for three years, lay in bed all day or talked on the phone for an hour and a half, we report that the named period of time has passed and he was completely occupied with this activity. Verbs of perdurative mode of action sit out, lie down, stand still undergo secondary imperfectification, cf.: He every day sits out ten hours at the computer, lies before dinner in bed, idle three hours in line. From other verbs of the perdurative mode of action, the formation of the secondary imperfective is difficult.

Finitive mode of action is formed using the prefix from- and denotes the cessation of some activity or state, emphasizing that the situation has not only ceased to take place, but will no longer take place, cannot continue: Dissuaded a golden grove; faded chrysanthemums have been in the garden for a long time.

Finitive verbs are characterized by compatibility with the word his, introducing into consideration the idea of ​​a certain amount of action, "measured" by fate this person or object, cf.: The car drove off(it doesn’t matter if she had an accident or rotted in a garage, the main thing is that she won’t ride anymore); The clock has gone(broken and impossible to fix); The ship sailed its; I worked mine, off duty, won back, fell out of love, unlearned, exhausted etc. Finitive verbs have some expressive coloring and often contain an evaluative component, moreover, with a non-fixed evaluation sign. Yes, proposal I worked mine can express both regret and pleasure that the speaker will no longer have to work. This mode of action is very productive. It is freely formed from almost any verb denoting unlimited homogeneous processes or states. (Joining the verbs denoting limiting processes, the prefix from- has a completely different meaning, namely, the resultant, presented in a variety of verbs like repair, chip off, scold, rehearse, adjust etc.)

Cumulative(= accumulative) mode of action is formed by the prefix on the- and denotes the "accumulation of the result" of the action: buy(lots of) things put on(lots of) mistakes; file firewood, tune houses, weld jam, promise with three boxes mess up troubles, invent ; piled up , attacked etc. This mode of action is sometimes also formed from not transitive verbs: to mischief, to mischief, to inhale, to spray The verbs of the cumulative mode of action, built on the basis of intransitive verbs of indefinite motion, have an object with the value of time or distance: run into, run into, find(many hours or kilometers). Many cumulative mode verbs contain a slight negative evaluation: not just "a lot", but perhaps "too much". This introduces into the meaning of the verbs of this mode of action a shade of condemnation, sometimes barely noticeable, and sometimes pronounced, - cf. characteristic combinations with a figurative estimated value of the type break firewood. The cumulative mode of action can be formed from both perfective and imperfective verbs: buy(owl) ® buy; break(inn.) ® mess up; come up with(owl) ® come up with; invent(inn.) ® invent. The prefix can be attached to the verbs of the cumulative mode of action on-, forming a verb of a cumulative-distributive mode of action, the meaning of which sometimes includes an additional shade of the variety of accumulated objects: pick up / recruit , fill up/stuff. The verbs of the cumulative-distributive mode of action contain the same disparaging connotation as the proper distributive ones - moreover, this connotation is even intensified, cf.: set up, to open, to invent ,give birth , make mistakes in dictation>, name,to coach etc.

saturative mode of action is formed by attaching the prefix on the- simultaneously with the return particle (postfix) -sya and indicates that the action was carried out until full saturation or even satiety: run into, work up, roll, swim, eat up, gorge, get drunk, get high etc. Verbs of this mode of action are often accompanied by words like enough, relish, satiety, to the point of exhaustion, to waste, blue in the face, to the point of insanity etc. In its content, this mode of action is close to cumulative (and is sometimes interpreted as its special case) - with the difference that the subject itself is in the center of attention. Some of the saturative verbs are used predominantly with negation, cf. He couldn't stop looking at her(see enough); I look I don't look; don't bother with him etc.

Various intensively productive modes of action are formed using a combination of prefixes before-, after-, times- with postfix -sya: get through,play too much, talk.

Achieving mode of action ( to-…-sya ) indicates bringing the action to the desired result by applying great efforts, with difficulty, overcoming obstacles, etc., cf .: get through to someone on the phone, dig down to the truth shout out, get through up to someone wait someone or something, etc. However, the same model can also be used to express, in a certain sense, the opposite idea, denoting bringing an action to an undesirable and not intended result, cf. buy more to pneumonia, drink up to delirium tremens / to green devils, finish smoking to the point of nausea improve to a nervous breakdown, etc.

Circumfix Verbs for-…-sya form a mode of action, which is sometimes called excessively long and which indicates that the action exceeded a certain measure in its continuation, which most likely happened regardless of the will of the subject (because he was too carried away by this action) and, possibly, led to some some negative consequences. For example: stay too long away, start talking, play too much, read out, take a walk, philosophize, make money in this world stale. Verbs adjoining this mode of action ponder, take a look, stare, listen to, daydream. They differ in that they primarily express the idea of ​​enthusiasm, “immersion” in a certain state and do not emphasize the idea of ​​excessive duration.

There is also a group of verbs of an evolutive mode of action with a circumfix times-…-sya , denoting the final phase of a gradual increase in the intensity of the action and, as a result, the achievement of a high degree of realization of a certain state: get sick, get lazy, rage, talk, flare up etc.

Single(= one-act, semelfactive) mode of action is formed by adding the suffix -well- or -anu- and denotes one "quantum" of the activity described by the original verb. Wed with suffix -well- : to swallow - to swallow, to look - to look, move - move, to yawn - to yawn, to swing - to swing, throw - throw, prick - prick, shout - shout, scold - scold, sparkle - sparkle, toss - toss, to pinch - to pinch etc. A single mode of action is formed from verbs denoting simple physical actions, as well as acoustic and optical phenomena. At the same time, the situation described by the original verb can either already consist of these “quanta” (i.e., for example, blink is a repetition of an action. blink; such verbs are called polyphasic or multi-act), or be homogeneous (cf. blow, look, to scold, frighten, go on a spree). In the latter case, the quantification is created by the suffix itself -well-, cf. blow, look, swear, scare, hang out. Verbs on -well- formed from verbs denoting homogeneous processes (such as smear or look), are usually stylistically colored: the components "quickly" and "strongly" contained in the meaning of this mode of action, transforming on the pragmatic plane into the idea of ​​"brute force" and at the same time presenting the action as being performed as if "similarly", create a shade of some cynical swagger, deliberate vulgarity - cf. especially neoplasms of the type smoke, speculate criticize communicate. Beyond the suffix -well- to form a single mode of action, the suffix is ​​also used -anu- , less frequent and with a more pronounced expressive-colloquial or even vernacular coloring, cf. thrash, thrash, say, smear, freak out, shove, rattle, brag etc. All such verbs denote a single action performed sharply, forcefully and rudely, but at the same time it is spoken of with some irony, the speaker treats it as if “not seriously”.

Emollient(= attenuative) mode of action is formed by adding prefixes on- , under- and at- from perfective verbs already containing a prefix: get used to, warm up, have some fun, reflect, dry off, calm down; to forget, get drunk, fed up, save up of money; ponder, lie down, slightly open, open a crack, suspend, lower flag etc. The verbs of the mitigating mode of action mean "to do something lightly, without effort, for a short time" and express a somewhat condescending (but rather benevolent) attitude towards the action itself or towards its subject on the part of the speaker. Verbs of softening mode of action for the most part have a distinctly colloquial connotation.

Multiple(= iterative, frequent) mode of action is formed with the help of suffixes -yva- /-willow-, -wa- , -á- , - the same ones that are used in imperfectivization, but attached to imperfective verbs: to walk - walk, sit - sit, to speak - to speak, hear - hear and hear, to see - see and see, eat - eat, drink - beer, live - live, to know - to know, to be - to be(cf. with imperfectification: rewrite - rewrite, open - open, start - start). AT literary language 19th century there were significantly more multiple verbs. Although almost all of the existing modern language verbs of this type have an archaic coloring, it cannot be said that this model is unproductive. In speech, it is quite common to find frequentatives formed with the help of the suffix -yva-/-willow-, For example: read - read, to lie down - to lie down, stand – melt, play - play, ride - ride etc.

intermittent softening mode of action is formed by adding the prefix on- , under- or at- combined with suffix -yva-/-willow- and mean "to do something from time to time and little by little". The most productive model with a prefix on- : smoke, drink, take a walk, cough, ache, walk around, pinch weed, pee poems, fool around, beat wife, etc.

Verbs formed according to this model are of two types. Some denote actions that are identifiable only over large intervals. In response to a question What is he doing now? you can say: Drinking wine and smoking; Sitting at the table and writing an article; Lies in bed and reads a book. But you can't: drinking and smoking; sitting and peeing; lie down and respect. Other verbs, on the contrary, denote actual actions and states: cough, gleam, snuffle, wiggle. Some verbs have both types of usage, cf.: The referee is already looking at the stopwatch and Our son is already looking at women. Slightly less common prefixes under- and at- : steal, laugh, play a joke, plow, haggle, limp. Verbs of the intermittent softening mode of action are imperfective. At the same time, it should be emphasized that they are single species, i.e. are not imperfective correlates to verbs of the delimitative mode of action: take a walk does not form a pair take a walk, sit around- to sit etc.

Distributive(= distributive) mode of action is formed by adding a prefix re- or on- ; prerequisite realization of this meaning is the plurality of the object or subject (depending on the transitivity of the verb). The verbs of the distributive mode of action denote an action affecting all objects from the set called the direct object for transitive verbs and the subject for intransitive ones; accordingly, two subtypes are distinguished within the distributive mode of action - object ( interrupt all the dishes rewash all underwear stay at all resorts; transplant to the prisons of all bandits; quarrel with all friends; kiss again all girls; lock up all doors, throw away all rubbish, etc.) and subjective (All the old people in the village died; All her friends by that time already came out married). It is also possible to use both prefixes at once (All animals in the zoo rested; All apple trees for the winter frozen). Verbs of this class often contain a slight shade of cynicism, connected with the fact that the participants in the event are considered as a kind of undivided multitude, and the event itself is considered as something ordinary. From the point of view of their morphological structure, the verbs of the distributive mode of action have the peculiarity that the prefix that forms this mode of action can be attached to the verb of both the perfect and imperfect form, cf .: All old men died/died; All doors locked up/locked up.

The variety of nuances relating to the way the action proceeds and the speaker's attitude towards it, expressed by word-formation means, is no less striking feature of the Russian verbal system than the presence of the grammatical category of aspect in it. As A.V. Isachenko writes, “from the point of view specific gravity means of expression of the Slavic verb, it is the accomplishment, with its unusually rich palette of subtle and subtle shades of meaning, that gives the Slavic verb that versatility and flexibility that knows no parallel in the circle of European languages.

Find "MODE OF ACTION" on

The study of the features of the form of verbs different in semantics led to the allocation of lexical and grammatical categories, which are commonly called modes of verbal action. These are groups of verbs that are combined on the basis of the common nature of the course of the action.

For example, such semantically different verbs as scream, swim, etc., have a common semantic component of meaning - the meaning of the beginning of the action.

Ways of verbal action are divided into characterized and uncharacterized. In the characterized general meaning is transmitted with the help of special morphemes, and in uncharacterized ones it is contained in the very root.

Verbs expressing various modes of verbal action are most often of the same kind.

CHARACTERIZED ACTIVITIES

One-dimensional perfective verbs

1. Initial way. Verbs indicate the beginning of an action. For example: In the morning the ray of the morning light will flash, And a clear day will play (P.). This is a large group (in modern Russian, according to dictionaries, there are about 900 of them).

The value of initiative is expressed by prefixes. So, the prefix is ​​attached to the verbs of speech and sound (make noise, meow, laugh); to verbs of movement in space (walk, run) \ to verbs denoting feelings (to worry, to yearn), and to some other groups of verbs.

The initial meaning is also expressed by the prefix po-, which is attached to the verbs of unidirectional movement (swim, run, fly, etc.).

A small group of initial verbs has a prefix vz- (sun-, voz-, voe-): scream, rebel, dream (obsolete), etc.

Verbs of the initiatory mode of action rarely form an aspect pair (for example, sing-sing).

2. Restrictive mode of action. Such verbs denote an action limited to a relatively short period of time. For example: Circumstances once brought us closer, and I now intend to talk about it with a kind reader (P.); I love you with my soul, and I would be glad sometimes to sit with you (P.).

Most often, these verbs also have the meaning of an action limited in the fullness of its manifestation.

The restrictive meaning is expressed by the prefix in y, which, as a rule, is attached to intransitive verbs of state, feelings, speech, movement in space, etc. (cry, have fun, talk, ride, etc.), it attaches the same meaning to verbs movement in a transitional sense (to lead, drive a friend around the city, etc.). These are unpaired verbs.

Most of the verbs of the restrictive mode of action are colloquial vocabulary.

3. Long-term restrictive mode of action. The general meaning of such verbs is actions covering a certain period of time. For example: Jumper Dragonfly sang red summer (Kr.) '> You will understand this when you live here a few more times (P).

These verbs are formed by adding the prefix pro- to the verbs of state, movement, feeling, speech, etc. (run, hold out, oversleep, say the whole break, etc.).

This is a group of single aspect verbs: only in rare cases is it possible to form aspect pairs (sit - sit, stand - stand idle).

As a rule, these verbs belong to colloquial vocabulary.

4. Softening mode of action. The general meaning is actions softened in their intensity. For example: And you are with me, O Lyra, depressed (P.); I heard that you became adept at war in technology (Maltz).

The meaning is expressed by prefixes. So, the prefix is ​​​​usually attached to prefixed verbs (to spend, to wear out, to hold back, etc.). earn extra money, etc.).

Some verbs of this mode of action form aspectual pairs (to earn extra money - to earn extra money, to raise - to raise, etc.).

As a rule, these verbs function in colloquial speech.

5. Efficient way of acting. "The verbs of this group have a common meaning: the meaning of actually achieving a result or focusing on achieving a result. For example: We just had time to rest and dine when we heard gunshots (P.); Mikhail Averyanych soon got to know everyone (Ch.).

The general value of performance includes several particular ones: completeness (dine, spend the night), distribution (cover, quarrel), intensity (wait, run, swear), accumulation (weld, fly thousands of kilometers).

The verbs of this group are formed with the help of prefixes about- (The clock struck midnight), from- (to have dinner), re- (to reacquaint), to- (to close), to- (to weld, to say), as well as in the prefix-postfix way (to wander, wait, avoid).

As a rule, these are verbs of the same kind. Used primarily in colloquial speech; some of them are colloquial (reach out).

6. Single mode of action. The general meaning of the verbs of this mode of action is the meaning of the action performed at one time, once.

For example: The dog will jump, squeal (P.); The car in which Dasha was traveling remained on the rails, but they cut it with a machine gun (A. "N. T.). They are formed from many verbs denoting specific actions (sip, swing), from verbs of speech, sound (gasp, creak), from the verbs of visual perception (flicker, sparkle).

The way of forming verbs is suffixal, they are formed with the help of the suffix -nu-.

For the most part, these are verbs related to neutral vocabulary.

Some verbs of a single mode of action are formed using the suffix -anu-, which gives the meaning of an intense single action (pull, chop, cut): For example: Ours shook them here, scratched them so much ... (Pol.) The sphere of use of such verbs is - vernacular.

1. Verbs of a long o-p intermittent mode of action. The general meaning is the meaning of the irregular dissection of a non-intense action. For example: The imp was dumbfounded, the Tail was tucked up, completely subdued, He looks sideways at his brother (P.); The general's wife laughed, without ceasing. General Tooise laughed (Ch.).

The method of formation is suffix-prefix, primarily from verbs of a specific action or state of animated subjects (ache, be afraid, glance, cough, walk, etc.). In dictionaries, they are given most often with the mark "colloquial".

2. Verbs of the accompanying mode of action. They denote an action performed together with others and somewhat weakened in intensity. For example: And the queen laugh, And shrug her shoulders, And wink her eyes, And snap her fingers ... (P.); It was my father's brother... at that time, a starving student at Moscow Higher Technical School, who lived on the edge of Moscow (A. Sharov).

The method of formation is prefix-suffixal: prefixes at-, sub- and suffix -iva- (-yva-, -va-) (stomp, hum, sing along).

The group is small. Scope of use - colloquial speech.

3. Verbs in za and m and o-d of a long mode of action. Shared value - the value of the action exchanged between the subjects. For example: I proudly looked at the officials who were whispering among themselves (P.); When the admiral appeared at the market, the merchants usually laughed (Staniuk.).

The way of formation is prefixal-suffixal-postfixal (corresponding, talking, looking at each other).

These are stylistically neutral or verbal verbs.

4. Verbs of multiple mode of action. The total value is the value of the repeated action. For example: Glinka sang this ballad willingly and quite often (V. Serov); Having finished with the usual daily chores, Margarita Nikolaevna sat silently in the front garden until dusk (Koch.).

The method of education is suffixal (know, walk, read, speak, etc.).

It should be noted that these are verbs of an incomplete paradigm: they are used in the forms of the infinitive, the past tense of the indicative mood (mainly), less often participles.

In modern language, the group is unproductive. Scope of use - colloquial.

NON-CHARACTER RIZO BA II AND S E METHODS OF ACTION

This includes verbs of unidirectional and multidirectional mode of action. These verbs are paired according to the method of the verb action: run - run, carry - carry, lead - drive, drive - drive, chase - chase, ride - ride, go - walk, roll - roll, roll - roll, climb - climb, fly - fly, carry - wear, rush - rush, swim - swim, crawl - crawl, drag - drag, drag - drag.

Verbs unidirectional denote an action that takes place in one direction, continuous and in certain moment. For example: Finally he saw that he was going in the wrong direction (P.).

The semantics of multidirectional verbs is more diverse. So, they can denote repetitive actions: She (mother) knew that he goes to the city, goes to the theater there (M. G.); long-term action: I walked around the park, staying away from home (Ch.); an action that has two directions, back and forth: He went on a business trip; indicate the ability to perform an action: The child is already walking. It can also be verbs - characteristics by action. For example: Birds fly. The fish are swimming.

These verbs do not form aspectual pairs, however, they relate to the aspect category in different ways: verbs of unidirectional action, when combined with prefixes, form a new verb of the perfect form (run - run away, run across, run away, etc.), while verbs of multidirectional action when combined with a prefix can retain the meaning of an imperfect form (run - run away, run, run away, etc.).

Methodological note. The concept of the form in the course of the Russian language elementary school is not given, but children are already preparing for the study of this category: general characteristics the verb as a part of speech and when studying tenses, attention is drawn to the difference in questions (what to do? what to do? what I do?

The foundations of the theory of methods of verbal action were laid in the works of A.Kh. Vostokova, A.A. Potebni, A.A. Shakhmatova, V.V. Vinogradov, the founder of the Leningrad Aspectological School Yu.S. Maslova; their study was continued by E.V. Petrukhina, E.N. Remchukova and other scientists.

In modern linguistics, there are two main points of view on this issue: 1) in the narrow sense of the term, actional (that is, relating to some aspect of the action) includes only verbs that have special prefixes and suffixes and characterize the course of the action (N.S. Avilova , A.N. Tikhonov and others); 2) in the broad sense of the term, the action sphere includes all verbal vocabulary (Yu.S. Maslov, A.V. Bondarko, M.A. Shelyakin, etc.). As a working one, we use the second point of view.

There is no generally accepted classification of the ways of verbal action in the science of language. The number of selected methods is quite large: 40–50. They are combined into 2 groups: temporary and quantitative - or into 3 groups: temporary, quantitative and effective. The last classification is considered in the textbook by E.N. Remchukova "Morphology of the modern Russian language. category of the aspect of the verb. – M.: Flinta, Nauka, 2004. – S. 102–134.

We list the main ways of verbal action.

  • Verbs initiatory way indicate the beginning of the action: sing, make noise, knock, go, drag and etc.
  • Verbs long-term restrictive methods show that the action takes place within a certain time and is limited to this interval: run, run, visit, work, work out etc.
  • Verbs finite the way of action is the termination of the process, bringing it to the end or stopping in its course: to dine, win back, take a walk and under.
  • Verbs multiple Methods denote an action that is repeated many times: sat, ate, talked, sang, walked etc.
  • Verbs one-act method is called an action performed once: jump, knock, butt, clap, wave and etc.
  • Verbs multi-act Methods denote an action consisting of several homogeneous acts: wave, flicker, sigh, crow, clap and under.
  • Verbs emollient method (incomplete action) is called the action is weakened, moderate, diminutive, limited in the fullness of manifestation: get up, melt, eat, cry, have fun etc.
  • Verbs distributive (distributive) ways indicate the dismemberment of the action, the successive achievement of the result: to break, to break, to throw, to drive out and etc.
  • Verbs final ways are considered in the system of effective verbs in terms of achieving the result: to read, to write, to finish and under.

All modes of action are closely related to the view category. “Any pair of single-root verbs connected by the relation of the type or mode of action can be called aspectual couple, which has two varieties in Russian: “pure species pair”, expressing the categorical ratio of members of the species opposition ( decide - decide and do - do), and an actional pair, in which the opposition of verbs is carried out both in form and in the mode of action ( sing - sing, jump - jump) or sometimes - only by the mode of action ( to walk - walk)” [Remchukova E.N. Morphology of the modern Russian language. Verb aspect category: Tutorial. – M.: Flint, Nauka. - 2004. - S. 130].

Verbs of quantitative-temporal modes of action, meaning duration or repeated repetition, in the "Russian Grammar" are divided into verbs of multiple, intermittent softening, long-term softening, long-distributive, accompanying, complicated-intensive and long-distributive-reciprocal modes of action.

Verbs of multiple mode of action with the meaning of repeated repetition in the modern Russian literary language make up a very small, ever-decreasing group of verbs. They are formed by adding suffixes - willow-/-va-/-a- to a limited circle of stems of some imperfective verbs with the meaning of non-unidirectional movement, perception, speech, existence and change of position in space, a specific physical action: walk, sew, ride and ride), run, sing, talk, sit, see, hear. These verbs are called multiple or long-past forms, since they are used mainly in the past tense form. “The use of multiple non-prefixed formations mainly in the form of the past tense has been noted by researchers of the Russian language since M.V. Lomonosov". (15, p. 82). Type forms sat, walked have somewhat complicated semantics. They denote not only an action repeated in the (remote) past, but also emphasize that this repeated action at the moment of speech is no longer repeated. E.N. Prokopovich in the book "Stylistics of Parts of Speech" (p. 78) distinguishes multiple non-prefixed forms with suffixes in the system of expressive forms of the past tense - a-/-va-/-iva-(-iva) type spoke, ate, knew, wrote, which are bearers of special meanings: repeated (multiple) repetition of action and duration of action in the past.

A.V. Isachenko (7, pp. 430-432) argues that the past tense forms of multiple verbs have the meaning of the past tense. The long past tense expresses processes that took place in the past (in relation to "at the moment of speech"), but at the present time (at the "moment of speech") are no longer repeated. Relation of processes expressed by forms walked, wrote, to the "long past" follows from the general meaning of the forms of the past tense of the imperfective form. Any form of the past tense of the imperfect form indicates the disunity of this process with the moment of speech.

Rather widely considered forms were common in the literary language of the eighteenth century. They are found in Novikov's satirical magazines, in Fonvizin's comedies, in satirical poems Maikov and other works of Russian literature, closely related in their language and style to the popular spoken language of that time. In the first half of the nineteenth century, multiple non-prefixed forms were quite widely used in the works of Russian fiction of that time: in Krylov's fables, in Griboedov's comedy "Woe from Wit", in the poetry and prose of Zhukovsky, Pushkin, Lermontov.

In his work, E.N. Prokopovich (15, p. 79) notes that a turning point in the use of the forms under consideration occurs in the Russian literary language of the second half of the nineteenth century. They become unproductive, their use is sharply reduced. "As a result historical development outside the living system of species relations, losing their use in a living language, multiple non-prefixed forms still remain in it. At the same time, they receive a new assignment and perform new functions, entering the arsenal visual means language of Russian fiction". (15, p. 78). Multiple verbs serve as a means of style archaization, they are used mainly in the depiction of folk life.

“The range of multiple forms used in the language with negation becomes even narrower. not and meaning the strongest denial". (15, p. 102). Multiple verbs in the form of the past tense with negation have an expressive-amplifying character.

Verbs of multiple mode of action are also formed from prefixed verbs of movement of the imperfect form ( to come, to lead, to lead, to fly in) with the help of morphs willow- and - va-: seeing off, dropping by, grafting, flying in. All of them are stylistic. This ability of prefixed verbs of motion of the imperfect form to form multiple prefixed verbs of motion with the meaning of incorrect repetition of action, with the meaning "to act from time to time" was noted by V.V. Vinogradov. (1, pp. 296-297).

Verbs of intermittent-softening mode of action mean a long and weakened action in its manifestation, carried out from time to time. Such verbs are formed from imperfective verbs using the prefix on- and iterative suffixes - willow- / -yva- / -va- / -a -: walk around, whistle, talk, look, glance, joke, praise, live, rub, ache, call, laugh. Prefix on- indicates discontinuity and incompleteness of the action, introduces a shade of mitigating action, and the suffix indicates duration or repeated repetition. N.S. Avilova (1, p. 296) notes that the verbs of this mode of action are formed from imperfective verbs with different values: from verbs sensual and visual perceptions ( look, look); from state verbs ( to be afraid, to swear); from verbs with the meaning of position in space (sit, lie down, stand up); from polyphasic verbs (tap, jump); from verbs expressing the phenomena of color, smell (shine, sizzle); from verbs of existence (live); from transitive active verbs directed at an object (searching, searching). The formation of verbs of intermittent-softening mode of action from transitive verbs of active action is unproductive. All verbs of this mode of action are colloquial in color and are usually given with the mark " colloquial". “This is correct in the sense that verbs of this type are rarely found in book (scientific, journalistic) genres, but the language of the best Russian prose writers is replete with verbs of this mode of action, not only in dialogic passages, but also in the author’s speech.” (7, pp. 282-283).

Verbs of a long-term softening mode of action mean a long and at the same time weakened action. Such verbs are formed by adding morphs - iva-, -iva- and -va- and prefixes at-, under- and obviously re-, on-, vz- to stems of imperfective verbs with different meanings: from verbs with the meaning “to be busy with what” (to swindle, to joke, to steal, to snap, to bargain); from verbs of sound and speech (howl); from relationship verbs (love, tease); from state verbs (sick); outward manifestations of feelings (play the fool). Here, obviously, one should also include verbs in the same sense of the weakening of a long multiple action, formed with the prefix re-: to call back, to shake; with prefix on the-: hum, sing, whistle, whisper, play; with prefix vz- mainly from bases with a multiple multi-act value: to lick, to flash, to flare, to flinch, to buck, to wave, to flare, to flare.

Verbs of a long-distributive mode of action mean a leisurely flowing action, doing something. N.S. Avilova points out that the long-distributive mode of action gives the verbs the meaning of "spread the action in different directions" or "spend time doing something with a touch of leisure in doing it." (1, p. 298). The verbs of this mode of action are formed using the prefix once- and morphs - iva-, -iva- and - wa- from some verbs of non-unidirectional movement and close to them: walk around, roam; from polyphasic verbs: swing; from verbs meaning "to be busy with what" smoke; from verbs of speech and sound phenomena: sing, talk. Verb speak weakened this meaning in modern language.

The verbs of the accompanying mode of action mean that the named action, somewhat weakened in its course, accompanies another action. Such verbs are formed using prefixes at- and under- and morphs - willow-, -yva- and - wa- from verbs of sound and speech and polyphasic verbs: to snap, to stomp, to say, to whistle, to dance, to hum, to sing along, to echo, to howl, to whistle, to hum. A.V. Isachenko (7, p. 284) notes that “some verbs formed by means of prefixes at- or under- in combination with suffixes, in Russian they have such a shade of meaning: action, expressed by verb, should not be considered the main, main action, but only a secondary one, performed together with another action and, therefore, somewhat weakened in the intensity of its manifestation. All of them have a colloquial coloration, belong to an imperfect species and do not form species pairs.

Verbs of a complicated-intensive mode of action in Russian are presented weakly and not very clearly. The verbs of this mode of action mean that the action is carried out intensively, with repetition and isolation of its individual components. They are formed using prefixes you-, from-, on- and morphs - willow-,-yva- and - wa- from verbs of sound: to call out, to click out, to call out, to whistle, to call; from verbs with the meaning "to be busy with what": make, dance, whip, dance, chip off (numbers), extort, play up. They are also conversational.

Verbs of a multiply-distributive-reciprocal mode of action mean an action that consists of many acts and takes place between several subjects. A.V. Isachenko (7, pp. 285-286) believes that the semantics of these verbs can be revealed in the following way: "to exchange certain actions." Such verbs are formed with three morphemes: prefix re-, postfix - Xia and suffixes - iva- / yva- / -va- / -a-: to talk, to laugh, to exchange fire, to exchange glances, to wink, to cross, to call to each other, to correspond, to quarrel, to forward. The repeatedly-distributive-reciprocal mode of action constitutes a comparatively small group of verbs. The verbs of this mode of action are reflexive and have the meaning of an imperfect form.

Verbs of the multiple-distributive-reciprocal mode of action can be considered as opposed in meaning to verbs of the diminutive-softening variety of the type to whisper, to whisper, to exchange: with a general meaning of reciprocity, the latter express the one-act and weakened action.

The above about the quantitative-temporal modes of action of verbs, meaning duration or repeated repetition, can be represented in the form of the following table:

The very nature of the semantics of this variety of quantitative-temporal modes of action is determined by the fact that they include only non-correlative imperfective verbs.

Verbs of quantitative-temporal modes of action, meaning duration or repeated repetition, in the modern Russian literary language have a very limited scope. Many of them have lost their use in the living language and are found mainly in works of fiction. Verbs of quantitative-temporal modes of action, meaning duration or repeated repetition, are used by writers who include forms of oral folk speech in their works. Most of the verbs under consideration are characteristic of the colloquial style. Some of them are characterized by a tendency to vernacular.

The lexico-grammatical category of the verb interacts with the grammatical category of aspect, expressing the modes of verbal action, i.e. those meanings that are associated with the process of action (any moment of its implementation, the intensity of manifestation, internal dissection, etc.). The main meanings associated with the expression of the mode of verbal action:

1) the meaning of initiation in perfective verbs formed with the help of prefixes voz-, vz-, za-, po-, for example: ignite, ignite, wave, scream, walk, rattle, run, blow;

2) the meaning of limiting the action in time, in the fullness of manifestation in perfective verbs formed with a prefix in - or several prefixes, for example: lie down, dream, sit, hold back, think;

3) the meaning of effectiveness (completion of the action, completion of the process) for perfective verbs formed with prefixes pro-, from-, y-, from-, for example: sleep, lie down (hand), ship, get tired, get wet, write;

4) distributive (distributive) meaning for perfective verbs with prefixes re-, over- and several prefixes, for example: whitewash, wash, bite, close;

5) the value of the intensity of the beginning of the action in perfective verbs formed with the suffix -well-, for example: burst, gush;

6) the meaning of the discontinuity of action in imperfective verbs with a prefix in - and a suffix -iv (a) -, for example: ache, cough, tap;

7) the accompanying meaning of imperfective verbs formed with the help of prefixes at-, sub- and suffixes -iv(a)-, -yv(a)-, for example: to sentence, trample, wink, jump.

Non-derivative and derived bases
The words of the Russian language differ in the structure of the stem, or morphological composition. The bases of all significant words are divided into two groups according to their morphological composition:

Semantic and phonetic weakening of the non-derivative stem
Word-formation processes in some cases weaken the non-derivative basis in the semantic and phonetic terms and even lead to the complete disappearance of the original basis, to the replacement of its other basis.

Production base
A generating stem is not a particular kind of stem found in a language; There are only two such varieties - derivative and non-derivative. The term generating (or forming) the basis of decrees

Correlation between derivative and generating bases
The correlation of the derivative and generating stems is expressed primarily in the presence of a given derived stem and the alleged generating of common semantic-grammatical properties. For example

Subject of morphology
Morphology is one of the divisions of grammar. The term "grammar" is used in linguistics in a double sense: in the meaning of the grammatical structure of the language and in the meaning of the doctrine of grammatical structure.

Grammatical categories, grammatical meanings and grammatical forms
Morphology, being the study of the grammatical nature of a word and its forms, primarily deals with such concepts as grammatical category, grammatical meaning and grammatical form.

Basic ways of expressing grammatical meanings
In Russian morphology, there are different ways of expressing grammatical meanings, i.e. ways of forming word forms: synthetic, analytical and mixed. With the synthetic method

The interaction of lexical and grammatical meanings in a word

Depending on the lexical meaning, on the nature of morphological features and syntactic function, all words of the Russian language are divided into certain lexico-grammatical categories, called h

Transitional phenomena in the field of parts of speech
In the process of language development, words from one lexico-grammatical category can move to another. If a word belonging to a certain part of speech loses (or changes) its basic

Composition of parts of speech
In modern Russian, parts of speech are independent and official. In a special group of words, modal words, interjections and onomatopoeic words are distinguished. independent

The meaning of a noun, its morphological features and syntactic functions
Words that serve as the name of an object in a broad sense, i.e. have the meaning of objectivity are called nouns. Nouns as part of speech can be names

Common nouns and proper nouns
Nouns can be common nouns and proper nouns. Common nouns are generalized names of homogeneous objects, actions, states (spruce, tree

Collective nouns
Nouns used to refer to a set of homogeneous persons or objects as some kind of indivisible whole, as a collective unity, are called collective (peasantry, uch

gender of nouns
The most characteristic morphological feature of a noun is the category of gender. All nouns, with minor exceptions, belong to one of three genders: masculine,

Hesitation in the gender of nouns
In determining the gender of some nouns (comparatively few), fluctuations are sometimes observed. So, individual nouns, used, as a rule, in the form of the masculine gender, sometimes

Gender of indeclinable nouns
According to the existing rules, all indeclinable nouns of foreign origin, denoting inanimate objects, most often belong to the middle gender: communique, taxi, metro, cinema, sconce,

Number of nouns
Most nouns denote countable things and can be combined with cardinal numbers. Such nouns have correlative forms of the singular

Nouns with only singular forms
Nouns denoting objects that are not countable and are not combined with cardinal numbers do not have plural forms. This group includes: 1) creature names

Nouns with only plural forms
The following groups mainly belong to nouns that do not have a singular: 1) the names of paired or complex (compound) objects: sleigh, droshki, scissors, pincers, gates, glasses,

Case of nouns
The noun, depending on the functions it performs in the sentence, changes in cases. Case is that grammatical category that shows the syntactic role of a noun.

Basic meanings of cases
The nominative case form is the original case form of the word. In this form, the noun is used for the name, name of a person, object, phenomenon. In this case there is always a subject

The role of prepositions in the expression of case meanings
Prepositions play a significant role in the expression of case meanings. By joining nouns in various case forms, prepositions help to reveal and clarify the meanings of cases. T

The main types of declension of nouns
Declension types of nouns differ in modern Russian only in case forms of the singular. In the plural, these differences are almost non-existent. In modern

Productive ways of forming nouns
Nouns are formed in modern Russian in different ways (see § 100-103). So, a significant number of new nouns appeared as a result of rethinking the

Suffixal, suffixal-prefixed and non-suffixal word formation
Among word-building suffixes, unproductive ones are distinguished, with the help of which new words are not currently formed (for example, the suffix -n is unproductive: pain-zn, life; suffix -uh: p

Formation of nouns by adding stems
The addition of stems is a type of morphological word formation when, as a result of the addition of two or more stems, a new word is formed. This method is widely used in modern Russian.

Transition of words of other parts of speech into nouns
The transition to the category of nouns of words of other parts of speech is called substantiation (from Latin substantivum - noun). Adjectives most often turn into nouns (mainly

Possessive adjectives indicate that an object belongs to a certain person or (less often) to an animal: fathers, sisters, Lizin, Koshkin, etc. The semantic basis of possessive adjectives

Short forms of adjectives
Only qualitative adjectives have a short form. Short adjectives differ from full adjectives in certain morphological features (they do not change by case, they have only the form of gender and number).

The concept of degrees of comparison of qualitative adjectives
In modern Russian, qualitative adjectives have two degrees of comparison: comparative and superlative. As for the so-called positive degree, it is the original form

Ways of forming forms of comparative degree
In modern Russian, there are two main ways of forming a comparative degree: 1) using the suffixes -ee (-s) and -e, for example: Somehow everything is friendlier and stricter, somehow everything is dearer to you.

Ways of forming superlatives
Superlative forms of qualitative adjectives are also synthetic and analytic. The synthetic form of the superlative degree is formed using the suffixes -eysh-, -a

Declension types of adjectives
The declension of adjectives, in comparison with the declension of nouns, is more unified. In the nominative case of the singular, adjectives have a gender difference: case endings

Adjectives in modern Russian are formed in a lexical-syntactic way (advance, stunning, etc.) and with the help of a morphological-syntactic way (exquisite blue

Suffixal way of forming adjectives
The suffixal way of forming adjectives is the most productive in modern Russian. The derivational suffixes of qualitative and relative names are attached

Prefixed way of forming adjectives

Cardinal numbers
Quantitative numbers include numbers that denote in whole units an abstract number (ten divided by two) or a certain number of homogeneous objects (six books).

Morphological features of cardinal numbers
Morphological features of cardinal numbers are related to their lexical meaning. Quantitative numerals are not peculiar to the category of number, since they lexically express the meaning of the number

Declension of cardinal numbers

Unpaired imperfective verbs include: a) non-prefixed verbs with the suffix -yva- (-iva-) with the meaning of multiplicity. In the modern literary language, such verbs are used

Two aspect verbs
Verbs that combine the meanings of the perfect and imperfect form are two-species, but in the conditions of the context they can act with a meaning characteristic of one form. These are verbs with suffixes -ova

From the history of the issue
The category of voice has been and still remains the subject of close attention of many linguists. “...Different grammarians understood the scope and grammatical content of the category hall in different ways.

Verbs transitive and intransitive
Transitive and intransitive verbs differ in meaning. The basis of such a distinction is the attitude towards the object of the action expressed by the verb. Transitive verbs are those with the meaning of action.

The concept of interjection
Interjections are words that directly express our feelings, experiences and wills, without naming them. Semantically, interjections differ from all significant parts of speech.

The role of interjections in the language
Syntactically, interjections also differ from significant parts of speech, because they, as a rule, are not members of a sentence, although intonationally they are usually associated with sentences to which they adjoin

Interjection ranks by meaning

The main features of the proposal
Most types of sentence, as mentioned above, correspond to a logical proposition. In a judgment, something is affirmed or denied about something, and in this the so-called prejudice finds its expression.

Brief history
The problem of phrases has long attracted the attention of Russian linguists. In the first grammatical works, the main content of syntax was the doctrine of "word composition", i.e. about connecting words

Types of phrases according to their structure
According to the structure, phrases are divided into simple (two-term) and complex (polynomial). In simple phrases, one word spreads to others with different semantic meanings.

Types of phrases depending on the lexical and grammatical properties of the main word
Depending on which word is the main word in the phrase, the main lexical and grammatical types of phrases differ. The classification on this basis has the following scheme:

Syntactic relations between the components of phrases
Words included in phrases are in different semantic-syntactic relationships with each other. In general, these relationships can be reduced to the main ones: a) attributive (for example: tetra

Ways of expressing syntactic relations in a phrase and in a sentence
The most important means of expressing the relationship between the members of the phrase (and the members of the sentence) is the form of the word. With the help of inflection, a connection is made between all the modified words that act as dependencies.

Types of syntactic connection in a phrase and in a sentence
There are two main types of syntactic connection in a sentence - composition and subordination. When composing, syntactically equal, independent of each other elements (members of the sentence
