| Summary: | This paper shows that the Yiddish language as a "hybrid" borrowed both German and, increasingly, Slavic elements on cognitive and semantic and morphosyntactic levels. The Yiddish prefix der-, dating back to the Middle High German prefix er-, has largely lost its connection with the German er-, having turned into the Yiddish analog of the Slavic verb prefix do-/до-/да-. The author suggests a cognitive and semantic classification of Yiddish verbs with the prefix der-, developed on such criteria as "integral and differential seme" and "the concept of the situation", the main morphosyntactic characteristics acquired by the productive stems as a result of prefixation are also described. |
