Iterativization and kindred phenomena in verb formation
Stjepan Babić
Sažetak
In Croatian, like in other Slavic languages, we encounter very productive imperfectivization, the process of forming imperfective verbs from perfective. There is a number of verbs derived through imperfectivization rules from imperfective or biaspectual verbs and, there being no need for this imperfectivization, it can be assumed that verbs so produced carry special meanings. The author shows that the first group of these verbs express iterative action, e. g. nòćiti (imperfective), noćivati (iterative). A second group expresses nondirectional motion, that is action in various directions, most frequently shuttling motion, e. g. nósatidonášati). This is interpreted as simple secondary imperfectivization. In normative and purist literature, these verbs (donášati) have been discriminated against as a rule. As their number is not inconsiderable (some 70), and most of them fit clear patterns, this phenomenon is of both theoretical and practical interest. The author points out that this verb set has not been studied adequately, emphasizing that only comprehensive and systematic research, in the light of clearly defined first two groups, can supply an answer to the question of these verbs' position in Croatian verb-formation patterns.
