Korpusa piemēros balstīta substantīvu motivētu verbu un verbālu vārdkopu sinonīmijas analīze
Analysis of synonyms of substantive motivated verbs and verbal expressions based on the corpus examples

Summary/Abstract: The study examines two syntactic constructions: verbs motivated by nouns and verbal phrases containing nouns. Suffixation is a productive method for verb formation in Latvian, where words from various parts of speech can serve as motivators. The goal of the study is to gain insight into the synonymous features that exist between these syntactic constructions. Examples are extracted from the corpus “Balanced Corpus of Modern Latvian LVK2022”, including noun-motivated verbs with the suffix -o- and verbal phrases containing verbs such as atdot ‘to give back’, darīt ‘to do’, dot ‘to give’, ēst ‘to eat’, dzert ‘to drink’, izjust ‘to feel’, izmantot ‘to use’, ķert ‘to catch’, lasīt ‘to read’, ņemt ‘to take’, piešķirt ‘to grant’, rakstīt ‘to write’, redzēt ‘to see’, runāt ‘to speak’, teikt ‘to say’, izplatīt ‘to spread’, būt ‘to be’, iet ‘to go’, braukt ‘to drive’, rīkoties ‘to act’, or nodarboties ‘to engage in’, along with nouns that motivate these verbs. There are three subtypes of noun-motivated verbs: verbs motivated by the agent of the action, verbs motivated by the names of tools, and verbs motivated by the names of objects. The majority of verbs in the corpus are motivated by the names of objects. Based on the usage of the examined verbs and verbal phrases in the corpus, it can be concluded that a verbal phrase is not always interchangeable with a verb without losing meaning. The expression of synonymous features is influenced by both the noun motivating the verb and the verb used in the phrase.
