The Voice Derivational Category in Vologda Dialects
Functioning of the Voice word-formative category in Vologda dialects is analyzed, semantic models of actant derivation of verbs, verbal nouns and adjectives in word-formation system of these dialects are revealed. Active transformation of subject-object relationship of initial dialect verbs are due to mobility of their lexical meanings, their dependence on the context of their using in speech. These processes are generally characteristic of transitive verbs of physical impact and they indicate preservation of the archaic functional-semantic features of the verb vocabulary, which are related to their semantic syncretism, in modern Vologda dialects.
