Multiple prefixation in Old Church Slavonic and Old Russian
P. 359–390.
Zanchi C., Naccarato C.
This paper is devoted to Old Church Slavonic (OCS) and Old Russian (OR) compound verbs with stacked prefixes. Although prefixes are a well investigated topic as regards modern Slavic languages, multiple prefixation in ancient Slavic languages still needs to be extensively explored. This work is a further step in this direction: via a careful manual scrutiny of the relevant data automatically extracted from the TOROT Treebank, we compare OCS and OR prefix orderings and we analyze multiply prefixed verbs both semantically and syntactically. As regards semantics, prefix stacking only rarely results in a fully compositional compound. More often, the resulting compounds are partially compositional or lexicalized. However, OCS and OR prefixes still retain (at least partially) their lexical value and are far from being pure perfectivity markers. Consequently, this also affects their syntactic behavior: the lexical modifications brought about by prefixes sometimes have the side effect of modifying the case taken by verbal compounds.

The nominative object describes a clause type in which the object of a transitive verb takes nominative morphology, and this coding is not conditioned by voice operations. It is a salient property in regions in which Slavic varieties have been in contact with Finnic- and/or Baltic-speaking population, i.e., in the eastern part of the Circum-Baltic ...

This paper aims to demonstrate that the Old East Slavic pronoun iže, traditionally considered a loanword from Old Church Slavonic and a marker of literacy, was in fact also widely used in secular texts of the earliest period and that its usage there differed considerably from that found in Old East Slavic church-oriented literature. The ...

Перфект, как известно, является одной из самых загадочных форм старославянского языка, семантика которой упорно не поддается описанию. Старославянские тексты представляют собой переводы (прежде всего — с греческого), и в них в значительной степени наблюдается калькирование как в сфере лексики, так и в сфере грамматических форм и конструкций. Но именно перфект нарушает эту картину: соответствия перфектных ...

В работе предпринята попытка приблизиться к пониманию семантики старославянского перфекта — аналитической глагольной формы, состоящей из l-причастия смыслового глагола и вспомогательного глагола byti в презенсе. Выделены типичные контексты употребления данной формы; основной задачей исследования является оценка получившегося «семантического портрета» старославянского перфекта с точки зрения типологических ожиданий, сформировавшихся в отношении перфектных форм в языках мира.

In the early eighteenth century, the main model of literacy training in Russia was the universal “traditional” model based on the Alphabet Book, the Psalter, and the Book of Hours. The Petrine reforms established a new educational model for the clergy, i. e. the so-called “Latin model”. It was described in the Ecclesiastic Regulation and enjoyed state support; by ...
