LEXICAL-SEMANTIC GROUP OF EXISTENCE VERBS

Abstract

The article deals with a comparative analysis of the lexical-semantic classifications of verbs of existence in Ukrainian and foreign linguistics. The basic characteristics of the verbs of existence are outlined: most verbs of existence reflect a s tate that occurs in a certain time interval (to hibernate) and in a certain location (to take place); some verbs of existence show the quantitative characteristics of existence (to lack, to count among); and some other verbs of existence show qualitative characteristics of existence (feelings are hibernating), etc. On the example of this lexical-semantic group of verbs and methods of component analysis and step-by-step identification it is demonstrated how to determine whether all lexical-semantic variants of the investigated verb belong to one lexical-semantic group. Further research is aimed at expanding of this classification and constructing a generalized lexical-semantic classification of verbs of the Ukrainian language. Such classification can be used for the semantic markup of verbs in text corpora, creation of semantic and ideographic dictionaries, etc.
