VERBS OF MOVEMENT IN ENGLISH IN COMPARISON WITH THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE
Abstract
Verbs of movement in English and Russian constitute a fundamental lexical and grammatical category that defines the semantic structure and syntactic organization of sentences in both languages. The interaction of various forms and meanings of movement verbs reflects the peculiarities of spatial perception and conceptualization in English and Russian linguistic cultures. A comparative analysis of these verbs uncovers both universal patterns and unique aspects of their functioning, which is particularly significant for developing theoretical frameworks for cross-linguistic communication and practical methodologies for teaching foreign languages.
