Abstract

The article deals with the nominative series of verbs formed from adjectives that implement the value of “to give a sign” in Russian and Belarusian languages. Special attention is paid to the study of equivalent derivational combinations that make up the nominative series of such verbs, their functioning in closely related languages. The most regular discrete correspondence of causative verbs is a fairly simple derivational model “do what”, while the analytical structures may include related units not only belonging to different parts of speech, but also separated from the motivating adjective by several steps of productivity. Other types of phrases actively participating in the derivational function can also take part in organizing nominative series. The study revealed whole microsystems of incomplete nominative series: with a synthetic or analytical component. Detailed analysis of such nominative series allows us to identify various causes of its occurrence (semantic, formal, stylistic). Significant differences in the derivational potential of adjective verbs in the Russian and Belarusian languages can be found not only in the semantic-word-formation of specific word-formation pairs, but also in later stages of derivation, as part of more complex associations of related units, different fragments of derivational nests (word-formation chains, paradigms).
