Janda<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This dissertation investigates Russian perfective verbs with a prefix and the semelfactive suffix &#8211;<em>nu<\/em>-, such as <em><strong>za<\/strong>xlop<strong>nu<\/strong>t\u2019<\/em> \u2018slam shut\u2019, for the sake of simplicity referred to as \u201cPref-Nu verbs\u201d. Pref-Nu verbs have received only marginal attention in the scholarly literature, and in the dissertation a main goal is therefore to shed light on their distribution and productivity in Contemporary Standard Russian, as well as the type of verb clusters and semantic classes they represent. A second main goal is to compare the behavior of Pref-Nu verbs with the behavior of perfective verbs that have only one of the two relevant affixes, i.e. only a prefix, such as <em><strong>za<\/strong>xlopat\u2019<\/em> \u2018begin to slam\u2019, or only the semelfactive suffix &#8211;<em>nu-<\/em> , such as <em>xlop<strong>nu<\/strong>t<\/em>\u2019 \u2018slam, clap, bang once\u2019. All of these questions are explored with data from the Russian National Corpus (years 1950-2017), and, as a general tendency, Pref-Nu verbs are found to differ from the other two verb types in that they express a single \u201cquantum\u201d of an action that yields some result. The choice between Pref-Nu verbs and other perfectives is furthermore explored through an informant experiment that focuses on cases of near-synonymy between related verbs. The results of the experiment indicate that none of the verbs are fully synonymous, although their semantic differences are often subtle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defense:<\/strong>\u00a0March 27, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Committee: <\/strong>\u00d6sten Dahl (Stockholm University), Alan Cienki (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), Natalia Mitrofanova (UiT The Arctic University of Norway)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Available at MUNIN:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/munin.uit.no\/handle\/10037\/17718\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/munin.uit.no\/handle\/10037\/17718<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dissertation title:\u00a0&#8220;Together and apart: Perfective verbs with a prefix and the semelfactive suffix -nu- in Contemporary Standard Russian&#8221; Supervisors: Tore [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1063,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1063"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":896,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393\/revisions\/896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/clear\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
