Reflexive verbs in the Ukrainian language: Theoretical-linguistic and linguo-didactic aspects

Аннотация

The author of this article attempts to determine the formal, semantic and functional peculiarities of Ukrainian reflexive verbs important for their linguo-didactic description. Because of their incidence, the verbs with the postfix -ся hold an important place in the learning system of Ukrainian as foreign language, while at the same time being one of the most complicated lexical groups for learning by foreign communicators. To make the learning process of reflexive verbs easier for foreign students, 152 verbal lexemes were selected for the analysis, belonging to the five most representative groups, sorted according to the criterium of defining subjective and objective relations. Some linguo-methodical recommendations were proposed, with the aim of forming and developing the ability of foreign communicators to properly use the analyzed vocabulary in speech; the recommendations take into account the formal word forming features of reflexive verbs, grammatical characteristics and their lexical conjunction.
