ABSTRACT
Introduction: for a systematic description of preverbs of the Khanty language and their functional correspondences in the Mansi language, a detailed description of the semantics, compatibility and syntactic valence of the verb groups in which these units are included is carried out. The semantics and syntactic compatibility of Khanty and Mansi verbs of different lexical and semantic groups (movements, displacement, actions, etc.) are considered with the preverbs jŏχi / jɔχi / jӑӄә / juw ‘back’.
Objective: to describe the circle of verbs combined with the preverbs jŏχi / jɔχi / jŏχi / juw, their transition from one lexical and semantic group to another; to compare the valence system and syntactic compatibility of verbs with these preverbs in the Ob-Ugric languages.
Research materials: verbs with the preverbs jŏχi / jɔχi / jӑӄә / juw of the Kazym, Ural, Surgut dialects of the Khanty language and the dialects of the Mansi language, collected by the author from informants and extracted from the dictionaries of the Khanty and Mansi languages.
Results and novelty of the research: the most complete list of verbs combined with these preverbs in different dialects of the Khanty and Mansi languages has been revealed. Verbs of different lexical and semantic groups combined with the preverbs jŏχi / jɔχi / jӑӄә / juw, which are mainly attached to the verbs of action, movement, displacement, etc., has been identified. The article describes a change in the valence system of verbs when combined with these preverbs, as well as a modification of the semantics of a verb while maintaining the valence system. The differences in the semantics of synonymous preverbs jӑӄә and pәrӽi of the Surgut dialect, Mansi preverbs juv and juvle in the expression of spatial meanings are established. The number of valences of derived verbs is either preserved or reduced. Verbs of the lexical and semantic group of movement and displacement lose their locative valence; the valence of action verbs may remain or decrease. The composition of the semantic group of verbs changes due to the syntactic compatibility of a verb with different types of subjects and objects (animate, inanimate). The results of the study can be used to compile dictionaries, to compare unrelated and differentstructured languages, as well as to write a scientific grammar of the Khanty language.
Key words: preverb, Ob-Ugric languages, valence, lexical and semantic group, verbs of movement, verbs of displacement, verbs of action.
Acknowledgments: the author expresses the gratitude to anonymous reviewers, as well as to all his informants who speak the Khanty and Mansi languages.
