Summary/Abstract: In the article a stylistic, syntactic and semantic analysis of the Russian verbs with the prefix raz- and postfix -s’a is carried out. To the author’s mind, semantically this group of verbs is not homogeneous. Three subgroups are established and described: A. verbs denoting intensive beginning of an action; B. verbs denoting gradual intensity and achievement of high intensity of an action; C. verbs capable of referring to the meaning of both A and B. The author suggests that the verbs belonging to the groups A and B can be treated as morphological homonyms. It is also stated that the belonging of the analyzed verbs to group A, B or C is mainly determined by the lexical meaning of the verb stem.
