SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF VERBS INCLUDED IN 4 CATEGORIES IN OLD ENGLISH
Abstract
This article analyzes the semantic structure of some motion verbs in the English language, on the basis of which specific semantic events of the verbs of movement are determined. The main attention is paid to certain structures and boundaries of verbs, that is, the semantic field of verbs belonging to this group, and the semantic classification of lexemes of this group of verbs to identify their common, unifying, differentiating semantics. The purpose of this article is to identify lexical and semantic variability, semantic enrichment and the reasons for the historical development of some directional verbs in modern and Old English. The main attention is paid to the lexico-semantic development of the verbs "scipian, crēopan, healtian, huncettan, luncian, slincan, smūgan, snīcan, tealtrian" in Old English.
