abstract

The article presents an analysis of the grammatical, semantic, and functional features of nomina actionis (action nominalizations) in the Ukrainian language against a Slavic background. I offer a quantitative analysis of a corpus of Ukrainian nomina actionis obtained with a continuous sampling method from the largest Ukrainian-language dictionary, as well as a linguistic experiment with native speakers aimed at finding out the perception of the aspectual properties of these verbal nouns. From a semantic point of view, it is argued that the ratio between nominal and verbal features in nomina actionis is a unique property of the Ukrainian grammatical system as compared to the rest of Slavic.
