ДЕРИВАЦИОНИ ПОТЕНЦШАЛ АФЕКТИВНИХ ГЛАГОЛА

Abstract

The paper deals with the derivational potential of emotional verbs, such as voleti, mrzeti, prezirati, radovati se, tugovati, patiti etc., particularly with their ability to give the derivatives which belong to nomina agentis. The analysis shows that the emotional verbs have very limited ability to give nomina agentis because of the specific lexical meaning. Only verbs which denote the demonstration of emotion (jadati se, plakati...) or with the causative component in their lexical meaning (tešiti, veseliti...) can have derivatives which mean the real performer of action: jadalo, plakalac, tešitelj, veselitelj.
