PREVERB AS A LINGUISTIC UNIT: TO THE PROBLEM OF DEFINITION AND DISTINCTION

Abstract

Determining the status of preverbs as a linguistic unit requires an integrated approach that takes into account the morphological, semantic and syntactic features of their functioning in the finno-ugric language space. The article shares a comprehensive analysis of the preverb, with an emphasis on identifying problems associated with its definition and distinction from related phenomena. In the Khanty language, preverbs concretize the action of the verb and introduce additional semantic shades, such as direction, method of action, its completeness or intensity. The study of preverbs contributes to a deeper understanding of the structure of the verb vocabulary of the Khanty language and the features of its grammatical structure. The research results can be used in the development of educational programs and educational materials aimed at popularizing and developing the Khanty language. Further research will make it possible to more accurately determine the place of preverbs in the system of language units and their role in shaping the meaning of a sentence. Understanding the functions of the preverbs in the Khanty language opens up prospects for comparative historical research in the framework of Finno-Ugric linguistics and the development of new methods for automatic processing and analysis of texts.
