ABSTRACT
Introduction: the article for the first time considers the semantics of Khanty and Mansi verbs with the preverbs jira / jirna / pōχan / pōχin in combinations with the verbs of different lexical-semantic groups: movement, displacement, attribution, etc., and change of their verbal valence. Until the present the complete list of verbs combined with these preverbal units has not been revealed on the material of the Ob-Ugric languages, and there is no description of changes in their verbal valence. The unit under study changes the meaning of a verb depending on syntactic compatibility; at the same time, syntactic compatibility may determine the grammatical form of a verb.
Objective: to identify the circle of verbs combined with the preverbs jira / jirna / pōχan / pōχin; to describe the transition of verbs from one lexical-semantic group (LSG) to another when combined with a preverb; to compare the system of valences and syntactic compatibility of verbs with a preverb in the Khanty and Mansi languages.
Research materials: verbs with the preverbs jira / jirna / pōχan / pōχin of the Kazym, Surgut, Shuryshkar, Ural dialects of the Khanty languages and the Mansi language, collected by the author from informants and extracted from dictionaries of the Khanty and Mansi languages.
Results and novelty of the research: for the first time, the most complete list of verbs from different LSG, combined with the preverbs jira / jirna / pōχan / pōχin, which are mainly attached to the verbs of movement, displacement, attribution, etc., is revealed. As a result, the number of valences of derived verbs can either remain or decrease. The composition of the semantic group of verbs changes due to the syntactic compatibility of the verb with different types of subjects and objects (animate, inanimate). The results of the research can be used for compilation of dictionaries and in comparison of related and different structural languages, as well as for compilation of scientific grammar of the Khanty language.
Key words: preverb, Ob-Ugric languages, valence, lexical-semantic group, verbs of movement, verbs of displacement, verbs of attribution.
Acknowledgements: the research was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation as part of a state task (project «Ideographic Representation of Vocabulary in the Languages of Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of Russia: Concept, Methodology, and Lexicographic Practice»). The author expresses the gratitude to anonymous reviewers, as well as to all informants who speak the Khanty and Mansi languages.
