Abstract

The article analyzes the semantics of derivatives of verbs with an indefinite prefix ver- in a literary text, because the derivative word has the ability to display or describe a situation with the required degree of completeness, accuracy and detail. Derivatives in formal and semantic structure of text provide semantic compression, which lies in their ability to express semantics, commensurate with the value of syntactic units, as well as grammatical re-categorization of sign values, which provides for them new communicative functions. A derivative word, in comparison with simple, underived, introduces more information because of its motivation, because of presence in it of additional component that carries this information. The complex character of meaning of word-building units, semantic and functional correlation of most derivative words with the corresponding syntactic structures, predetermines the possibility and need for the use of secondary names. Continuous replenishment of vocabulary of a given language with derivative words serves as a very suitable material to study the ways of language functioning, its connection with the development of society. A particularly broad perspective opens the study of semantic structure in the context of a new derivative word, which can capture the direct act of word formation, as well as interpret the use of neologisms in it. Any text displays the sequence of nominative units, including derivative words. In the text, the word-forming unit receives an incentive to disclose its derivative possibilities, since the text is the environment in which the word is born, it is in it that it is possible to define the stages of the natural process of formation of derivatives. The property of the derivative verb by means of one token to convey information that is equivalent to the semantics of the syntactic construction, can become decisive in the content organization of the text.
