Deverbal verb derivation in Old Lithuanian texts from 16th-century Prussia

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

In 16th-century Old Lithuanian, verbal derivations form a distinct system of actional classes where the semantic distinction between telicity and boundedness is essential, with bounded and unbounded features corresponding to Slavic perfective and imperfective aspects. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Key Points

The research aims to analyze morphological and semantic patterns to identify verbal derivation classes in Old Lithuanian texts up to 1600.
Analyzed 3,811 tokens from Old Lithuanian texts composed by 1600 in Prussia.
Classified tokens into primary (130) and derived types (689) with distinctions in semantic factors.
Identified actional classes based on semantic changes linked to morphological alterations.
Distinguished between telicity (having an endpoint) and boundedness (temporal or spatial constraints) in verbs.

Implication

Analysis identifies verbal derivation classes in 16th-century Old Lithuanian texts, suggesting semantic implications.
