Abstract

The paper discusses a~set of verbal prefixes which, when added to a~verb together with a~reflexive morpheme, change the verb's meaning always in the same manner. The prefixes form a~sequence according to the degree of intensity with which they modify the verbal action.

We present the process of verb intensification in three Slavic languages, namely Czech, Slovak and Russian.
