Milica Mihaljević

Abstract

Applying methods of componential analysis the author gives a detailed
analysis of various meanings of the English verb 'walk' and its translational equivalents: 'hodati', 'ići' ('pješice/pješke'), 'šetati', 'pješačiti' etc. Different features of the verb 'walk' (concrete, abstract, phraseological, transitive, intransitive, pseudo-transitive) as well as various subjects and objects which occur with this verb are analysed and their influence on the selection of translational equivalents is determined. In the end the positions of the verbs 'walk' and 'hodati' in their respective language systems are compared.
