Structural-Semantic and Functional Features of Phrasal Verbs: Based on Materials in English and Kazakh Languages

Summary/Abstract: The number of phrasal verbs in English language, as well as their frequency of use, is growing steadily. Due to their brevity and expressiveness, these verbs perform specific functions, and their study is a generally difficult task for a person who wants to improve his/her English language knowledge. The present article examines in detail phrasal verbs and analyses relevant scientific theories. A comparative analysis of phrasal verbs is carried out in English and Kazakh languages that belong to different language systems and families. English is a fusional language of the Indo-European language family and Kazakh − an agglutinative language of the Turkic family. Differences were established between these languages, as well as some commonalities between their systems.
