| Summary: | The article deals with deverbatives (names of actions) represented in Russian dialects spoken
on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia. The research aim is to describe semantic peculiarities and
uniqueness of the word formation and morphemic structure of the nouns belonging to this class. Deverbatives
are considered as syncretic unities that are built by merging the grammatical features of both a verb and a
noun, typical of the Russian language. The deverbative origin results in preserving the semantics of an abstract
action; according to their semantic structure, they can be divided into two main groups: the actions performed
by human beings and the ones without their participation. The latter are animals’ and birds’ motions, natural
phenomena, stages in a process or time intervals. It is noted that some language units are subjected to
specialization of lexical meaning, processual semantics loss sand are used to nominate an object, place or time
of action. Deverbatives have been characterized as demonstrating underdeveloped system of paradigmatic
relations. They are derived of national and dialectal verbal stems in full accordance with the general Russian
word formation rules and models, including the most productive morphological pattern with its suffixal and
zero affixation variants, and the least productive ones, as prefixation-suffixation and complex suffixation.
Since deverbatives are closely connected with intellectual human activity, worldview and reality awareness,
they constitute unique fragments of dialectal mentality. |
