Results. The paper discusses the issue of distinguishing between synthetic and analytical forms is
discussed, delineates certain classes of forms. The following subsystems are distinguished in the system
of synthetic forms: 1) subsystem of synthetic verb forms of participial representation, 2) subsystem of
synthetic verb forms of predicative-indicative representation, 3) subsystem of synthetic verb forms of
adverbial (converbial) representation, 4) subsystem of synthetic verb forms of stem-formation. Within
the framework of the generalized system of verbal grammatical forms, analytical aspectual forms are
also distinguished. The work characterizes some most common analytical aspectual forms. The most
common of them is the analytical form of the ‘progressive’ (// ‘continuative’) formed by combining
the synthetic taxis form of the congressional participle (with - ж) (CVB.CNGR) with the connective
(existential) verb бай-(х) (lit. ‘ be’). A fragment of the table of the frequency of grammatical forms
included in the (analytically expressed) grammeme ‘progressive’ is shown. |
