ABSTRACT
The article presents a fragment of the description of the functional-semantic field of the verbs of the modern Russian
language, expressing the repetition of an action.
KEYWORDS
Functional semantics, action volatility, aspectology, mode of verbal action.
INTRODUCTION
The conceptu
al category “repetitiveness of action” in
modern Russian is represented by various language
means that form a single functional-semantic field, in
the center of which are the verbs to chat, grumble,
swallow, hammer, cough, nod, throw, meow, whistle,
repeat and others
Verbs expressing the concept of repeatability of an
action are united by the grammatical meaning of the
imperfective form. That is why for the first time they
were in the focus of attention of researchers
developing the theory of aspectology, the most
important problems of which are the determination of
the number and the composition of the types of verbs
of the Russian language, delimitation of the meaning
of types and methods actions.
In the “Dictionary of Linguistic Terms” by O.S.
Akhmanova, the following definition of the type is
given: “View (aspect) Eng. aspect, fr. aspect, German
Aspect, Spanish Aspecto. The grammatical category of
the verb, denoting special properties, the nature of the

course of this process, i.e. in its relation to the internal
limit, result, duration, repetition (highlighted by us),
etc. Type of verb. View category.
In Russian, repeatability is included in the category of
the imperfect aspect, which is why it is called multiple
subspecies of the imperfect aspect
” [1,7
5]. In modern
Russian studies, there has not been a unified
understanding of the very phenomenon of the
repetition of an action: some researchers limit it to the
modes of action and include it in the sphere of lexical
semantics, others distribute it between the modes of
action and types, defining the repetition of an action as
a particular type of an imperfect aspect.
The disagreement in the views of scientists is explained
by the fact that the conceptual category "repetitive
action" is a complex phenomenon where intersect
spheres of grammatical and lexical semantics of the
Russian verb. In early research on aspectology, the
repetition of an action was included in the semantics of
the imperfect aspect. At the same time, it was noted
that in a number of cases the value of the frequency of
action and intense duration go beyond such specific
differences [2,35]. In the latest literature devoted to
the development of this theory, the meaning of the
repetition of an action is associated primarily with the
modes of verbal action.
Ways of verbal action are such semantic groupings of
verbs, in the semantic structure of which there are
formally expressed changes in their meaning in terms
of temporal, quantitative and specially effective
characteristics. Prefixes, suffixes and postfixes take
part in the formation of verbal action modes.
Ways of verbal action are closely related to the
category of aspect: several of their groups combine
non-correlative verbs of the imperfect form (such are
the verbs of the ways of action of multiple: to walk
intermittently softening: to jump and rows of others,
meaning duration and repetition of action [3,596]. In
"Grammar-80" in the article "Verbs that are non-
correlative in appearance" prof. Avilova N.S. among
the semantic categories of verbs with a grammatical
meaning of an imperfect form, he singles out “... multi
-
act verbs that name an indefinite occupation,
consisting of several homogeneous acts: pull, tinkle,
drip, wave, snore (colloquial), yawn, sniff (colloquial),
peck, poke (colloquial), shoot (from a gun), prick (with
a pin), twist (with feet), chew, shake.[4,594.]
The presented verbs with the meaning of repeatability
of the action do not express any ways of verbal action,
their meaning of repeatability can be qualified as
proper grammatical meaning of the imperfective form.
Further,
the
author
notes:
“Non
-correlative
imperfective verbs are also verbs formed from verbs
with the help of suffixes - iva-\-va-\-a or prefix-suffix
format with the meaning of different “modes of verbal
act
ion”: multiple (to walk); intermittent softening
action (to walk around); long-term softening (sick):
accompanying action (humming) long multidirectional
action (walking around); long and intense actions
(lashing); action repeatedly repeated, emanating from
several objects (to wink) [5,595] .
It emphasizes the lexical nature of the meaning
"repetitive action" and points out that the semantic
classes of these verbs have an integral grammatical
seme of the imperfect form. Thus, it should be stated
that the problem of the correlation between the
grammatical meaning of the form and the lexical
meaning of the mode of action for verbs that form in
the modern Russian language, along with other
linguistic means, the functional-semantic field

"repetitive action", is unresolved, because in the
scientific literature there is no clear and convincing
distinction between these semantic categories within
the analyzed combination of words.
The analysis of the semantics of verbs expressing the
concept of "repetitive action", carried out by the
authors of the article on the basis of extensive
material, allows us to draw certain conclusions: __
1. The formation of the grammatical meaning of the
imperfect aspect in diachrony took place on the basis
of various lexico-semantic classes of indefinite verbs,
including words with the meaning of the repetition of
action (pull, drip, shake, chew, etc.) This manifests the
“synergetics” of the lexical and grammatical
subsystems Russian language [6,204].
2. In the modern Russian language, in the lexico-
grammatical group of verbs with the meaning
“repetitiveness of action”, there is “diffusion of
semantics, coherence of grammatical and lexical
meanings [7,87.].
3. In the functional-semantic field of verbs expressing
the concepts of "repetitive action", as it seems to us,
two groups of words are distinguished. The first is
formed by verbs in which the concept of "repetitive
action" is their lexical meaning and the designation of
this concept by them is their primary function: to
knock, blink, gurgle, groan, throw, flicker, visit, meet,
hit, repeat, grumble, etc.
In their semantic structure there is no indication of
various ways of repeating an action. Therefore, the
seme "repetitiveness of action" is included in their
grammatical meaning of the imperfect form and is its
differential feature. The second group includes verbs
of different lexico-semantic classes, expressing non-
limiting actions and processes that denote the
repetition of an action in a secondary function due to
derivational means: prefixes and suffixes: come in, fly
in, talk, joke, ponder, sing, call, talk, call back walking,
looking, etc.
The acquisition by these words of the meaning of the
repetition of an action due to word-building affixes
does not change their grammatical semantics, since
the imperfective seme is present in their generating
stems. Changes occur in the lexical meanings of verbs,
their semantic structure is enriched with semantic
multipliers of different modes of action: multiple,
temporary,
intermittent
softening,
long-lasting
softening, accompanying, intense-multiple, multiple-
distrobitive-mutual, etc.
However, in this regard, the question remains open
about the belonging of the methods verbal action to
the grammatical or lexical area of semantics.
