Russian and Czech, like all Slavic languages, extensively use prefixation as a means of word-formation, particularly in the verbal system. Verbal prefixation results in a change of meaning, i.e., the prefixed verbs have a different meaning from the original non-prefixed verbs. Verbal prefixation also results in a change of verbal aspect, i.e., imperfective non-prefixed verbs become perfective with the addition of a verbal prefix. This change does not apply to non-prefixed perfective verbs. A contrastive analysis of the six most productive verbal prefixes in Russian and Czech, i.e., vy-, za-, po-, raz - (Czech roz-), o-/ob - and s-, confirms the claim that the lexical meaning of prefixed verbs is always different from that of their non-prefixed counterparts. Depending upon the basic lexical meaning of the prefix and the basic lexical meaning of the verb, the changes in meaning can vary from subtle modifications to more significant variations of the basic verb meaning. On the basis of the data presented in this thesis, there appears to be no justification for the claim that some prefixes have a purely grammatical meaning rather than their basic lexical meaning. The analysis of Russian and Czech verbal prefixation involving the six most productive prefixes also shows some significant differences in the degree of correspondence between the two languages. In the majority of cases, however, there is either no difference at all, or only a subtle difference, in the semantics of corresponding Russian and Czech prefixes.

Cognitive linguistic research suggests that Slavic verbal prefix semantics may be described by assuming a spatial prototype from which non-spatial (abstract) prefixes are derived metaphorically. This research aims to evaluate the relation between spatial abstract uses and to determine if abstract uses do indeed involve primarily spatial metaphor.

This book addresses the complexity of Russian verbal prefixation system that has been extensively studied but yet not explained. Traditionally, different meanings have been investigated and listed in the dictionaries and grammars and more recently linguists attempted to unify various prefix usages under more general descriptions. The existent semantic approaches, however, do not aim to use semantic representations in order to account for the problems of prefix stacking and aspect determination. This task has been so far undertaken by syntactic approaches to prefixation, that divide verbal prefixes in classes and limit complex verb formation by restricting structural positions available for the members of each class. I show that these approaches have two major drawbacks: the implicit prediction of the non-existence of complex biaspectual verbs and the absence of uniformly accepted formal criteria for the underlying prefix classification. In this book the reader can find an implementable formal semantic approach to prefixation that covers five prefixes: za-, na-, po-, pere-, and do-. It is shown how to predict the existence, semantics, and aspect of a given complex verb with the help of the combination of an LTAG and frame semantics. The task of identifying the possible affix combinations is distributed between three modules: syntax, which is kept simple (only basic structural assumptions), frame semantics, which ensures that the constraints are respected, and pragmatics, which rules out some prefixed verbs and restricts the range of available interpretations. For the purpose of the evaluation of the theory, an implementation of the proposed analysis for a grammar fragment using a metagrammar description is provided. It is shown that the proposed analysis delivers more accurate and complete predictions with respect to the existence of complex verbs than the most precise syntactic account.

This monograph is concerned with prepositional elements in Slavic languages, prepositions, verbal prefixes and functional elements of prepositional nature. It argues that verbal prefixes are incorporated prepositions projecting their argument structure in the complement of the verbal root and that their meaning is based on the two-argument meaning of prepositions, enriched with the CAUSE operator. The book investigates idiomaticity in the realm of prefixed verbs and proposes a novel analysis of non-compositional prefixed verbs based on the operation of predicate transfer. It also offers a uniform analysis of cases. Prepositional as well as non-prepositional cases are treated as a reflection of the agreement operation, whereat the type of prepositional case is determined by semantic properties of the decomposed preposition. Furthermore, it examines prepositions from a diachronic perspective and argues that they can be grammaticalised as future markers under certain circumstances.
