VERBS OF OSCILLATION IN SERBIAN AND SLOVENE: SEMANTICS AND DISTRIBUTION

Journal Title: Слов’янський збірник - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 21

Abstract

This paper examines semantics and distribution of Serbian and Slovene verbs describing oscillatory motion, such as ljuljati se, klimati se, klatiti se in Serbian and nihati, zibati se, majati se in Slovene. Our study, on one hand, continues typological research on semantics of oscillation verbs in the South Slavic languages. On the other hand, it presents a contrastive analysis of the lexical system of the oscillation verbs in two closely related languages. Based on the results of the analysis of the data gathered from corpora, dictionaries, and the results of informant questionnaire, we will attempt to reveal relevant semantic parameters for the semantic field of oscillation.
