CATEGORY OF CONJUGATED VERB FORMS IN RUSSIAN AND ABAZA

Abstract

This article discusses aspects of comparative analysis of categories of conjugated verb forms in terms of the expressed meaning in the Russian and Abaza. Typological similarities and differences of the main morphological categories in these languages are studied. Modern Russian has two types of verb conjugation. In contrast to the Russian, in Abaza personally-pronominal affixes create features of Abaza class-personal conjugation. However, not every name changes by person, but the name in the predicate function. The following is revealed during the research of typological similarities and differences of verb forms in Russian and Abaza: in both Russian and Abaza, the verb has three person forms, two number and tense forms. The difference is that in Russian, the conjugation of the verb occurs by changing the inflection, and in Abaza – by attaching personal-pronominal prefixes to the verb.
