Abstract

The morphological system of Serbo-Croatian verbs, as well as of some other parts of speech, is considerably developed owing to the significant role of prefixal and/or suffixal formation. This grammatical phenomenon is easily observed in the manifold formal and semantic differences between so-called perfective and imperfective verbal forms, which is: how the well-known category of aspect is manifested in Serbo-Croatian and other Slavic languages. In most cases, formal and semantic correspondence in the formation of perfective and imperfective verbal forms seems systematic and complete. This paper tries to show that this is not always the case, as it considers the rather rare examples of grammatical (formal + semantic) non-correspondence.
