Abstract

This paper deals with semantics and the distribution of the Vojvodina Ruthenian verbs describing falling, such as spadnuc – padac ‘fall’, zvaljic še – zval’ovac še ‘collapse’, capnuc – capkac ‘fall; crash’, ljapnuc – ljapkac ‘fall’ etc. The verbs of falling present one of the newest and the most actual topics in lexico-typological studies. The Vojvodina Ruthenian verbs in question have been studied neither in the framework of Ruthenian linguistics nor in the framework of lexical typology. The aims of this paper are to reveal the relevant semantic parameters for the Vojvodina Ruthenian lexical system of falling and to give some implications for further lexicological studies of Vojvodina Ruthenian verbs in general. The first part of the paper gives a brief definition of the semantic field of falling and introduces some relevant semantic parameters which are presented in the previous typological studies. The second part of the paper provides a semantic analysis of the Ruthenian verbs with the meaning of falling which is based on the data from various kinds of texts and the informant questionnaires. The third part of the paper analyses the semantic organisation of the Vojvodina Ruthenian lexical system and the distribution of the verbs of falling in Vojvodina Ruthenian. The conclusion presents some initial results of the research provided in this paper and deals with some perspectives of further studies.
