description | This paper aims to explain the semantics of the Croatian verbal prefix raz- and its allomorphs on the conceptual level. It also opposes the traditional structuralist approach according to which all verbs derived by means of the same prefix form a cluster of homonymous relations. The cognitive model, however, and the idea of conceptual networks it accommodates, characterize the category of verbs derived by the prefix raz- as a radial category. This enables us to establish a motivated semantic link between what at first may seem different meanings, bringing them thus together into a sort of semantic unity. |
