Komparativni glagoli u srpskom jeziku u poređenju sa engleskim i ruskim
Comparative Verbs in Serbian Compared with English and Russian

Summary/Abstract: The paper presented some of the basic characteristics of the so-called ‘comparative’ verbs in Serbian and their English and Russian equivalents. The term ‘comparative verbs’ includes three types of verbs – diminutive, augmentative and majorative verbs whose action, state, or occurrence are compared to the action, state, or occurrence of the verbs they are derived from. The verbs discussed are more frequent in Serbian and Russian, but the corpus analysis has shown that, unexpectedly, there are a few examples of full semantic equivalence in Serbian and English (but not Russian).
