Verbs with the Prefix “vyi-” in Russian Dialects of the Amur River Region

Abstract

The analysis of the prefixal verb vocabulary is presented on the dialect material of the Dictionary of Russian dialects of the Amur river region, poorly studied in this aspect. Verbal derivatives with the prefix “vyi-” are considered. Derivative and grammatical meanings of derivatives with this formant in comparison with literary analogues are characterized. The language processes accompanying the formation of prefixed verbs are analyzed. A classification of word-formation types and models of dialect verb derivatives with the prefix “vyi-” is proposed, which allows to identify the features of word formation and semantics of verbs with the prefix “vyi-” in this group of dialects. The relevance and novelty of the work are due, firstly, to the unsolved problem of describing the meanings of Russian verbal prefixes; secondly, by the fact that the specificity of verbal word formation in dialects remains less studied than in a literary language. The author believes that the description of the verb prefixation in Russian dialects of the Amur river region, the identification of the “inventory” of prefixes that are most frequent during verbal derivation in Russian dialects, derivatives of prefixal verbs can complement derivatology with specific linguistic facts - description units, morphology - material for understanding the category of species and modes of action in the dialect, and also contribute to the identification of general patterns of organization of the word-formation system of the Russian language.
