Classification Of Motion Verbs In Russian And Uzbek Languages
Abstract
This article explores the classification of motion verbs in Russian and Uzbek, focusing on semantic, aspectual, and morphological criteria. Motion verbs are central in expressing direction, manner, and the temporal structure of movement. In Russian, motion verbs are traditionally classified as unidirectional vs multidirectional, perfective vs imperfective, and single vs iterative. In Uzbek, classification relies on directional suffixes, serial verb constructions, and aspectual markers, reflecting the agglutinative nature of the language. Comparative analysis highlights both typological differences and functional similarities in how motion is represented across Slavic and Turkic languages.
