Abstract:

Editor's Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

Verbal prefixes in Slavic languages remain an intricate and puzzling
phenomenon, raising questions about whether their behavior is governed by a
systematic pattern, and if their attachment is subject to any kind of uniform
semantic system. Olga Kagan offers a new unified analysis of Russian verbal
prefixes which combines a formal semantic approach with detailed discussion of
data. The book addresses two vital issues, both of which play an important
role in modern linguistic research: the role of scalarity in natural language
and, more specifically, within the verbal domain; and Slavic verbal
prefixation. Accessibly written and illustrated with numerous examples,
Scalarity in the Verbal Domain is important reading for researchers and
students of formal semantics, cognitive linguistics and Slavic languages.
   

1. Scalarity and verbal prefixation; 2. The prefixes po-, na- and pro-; 3. The
prefixes do-, nedo- and pri-; 4. The prefixes pod- and pere-; 5. The prefixes
ot- and za-; 6. Prefixes characterized by stronger restrictions; 7. The scale
hypothesis: principles and parameters; 8. Prefixational genitive; Conclusion.
