О значењу српског глаголског префикса -раз (когнитивнолингвистички приступ)

Abstract

Using the theoretical prerequisites of cognitive linguistics (or, more preci sely, cognitive semantics), the author sets out to describe the meanings of the Serbian verbal prefix raz- and to establish the semantic network formed by them. The most general schema (visible in the gesture which often accompanies the usage of the verb prefixed with raz-) instantiates into central meanings 1, 2 and 3 (the first one being the most prototypical), which imply centrifugal movement, and meaning 4, which implies descending. The semantic network of the prefix raz- contains also six spatial meanings linked to meanings 1, 2 and 3, four of them are not subsumable under the most general schema (they imply neither cen trifugal movement nor descending). The meaning of the prefix raz- is, therefore, a good example of a prototype category. The abstract meanings of the prefix raz- are results of metaphoric exten sions from the spatial meanings, the main metaphors being intensity is size, меntal state / снаrастеr is physical state, mental space is physical space, understanding is seeing, less worthy is lower, stiffness is being fixed in a bearing, thinking is observing, a property is an овјест аттаснеd то iтs owner.
