Productivity and frequency of English phrasal verbs in everyday speech and literature ask for a thorough study of the functions of adverbial particles in them and point to both syntactic and semantic issues that arise from their analysis. The aim of this study is to analyse the potential effects of the most frequent particles - down, off, out, and up on the aspect categories and/or Aktionsart of the lexical verbs. We will explore the percentage (including the undergoing syntactic conditions) in which the main verb suffers the aspectual and/or Aktionsart change induced by these particles. The (statistical) analysis will be performed on the corpus taken from the modern British literature, so that it can reflect the current state in this field.
Key words: adverbial particle, phrasal verb, aspect, Aktionsart, telicity
VIDSKA I/ILI LEKSIČKA FUNKCIJA ADVERBIJALNIH PARTIKULA U ENGLESKIM FRAZNIM GLAGOLIMA
Cilj ovog rada je analiza potencijalnog uticaja najfrekventnijih partikula - down, off, out i up na kategorije glagolskog vida i tipa glagolske situacije. Istražili smo u kojem procentu (uključujući date sintaksičke uslove) pomenute partikule utiču na glagolski vid i tip glagolske situacije glavnog glagola, i menjaju njihova obeležja. Analiza je sprovedena na korpusu ekscerpiranom iz savremenih britanskih romana, sa ciljem da se iz njega vidi trenutno stanje na ovom polju.
Ključne reči: adverbijalna partikula, frazni glagoli, glagolski vid, tip glagolske situacije, teličnost
