Finitive verbs with the Russian prefix ot-:
Is it possible to explain them differently?
In this work it will be investigated the semantical and syntactical
usage of Russian Finitive verbs with the prefix ot-. Having present-
ed how Finitive verbs are described in Russian Linguistics and in
materials for teaching Russian as a foreign language (Russian L2),
it will be shown the results of our experiment of the year 2014, dur-
ing which Russian university students, philologists and not-philol-
ogists, have been asked to describe by words and drawns the usage
of the Finitive verbs otbegat’sja (‘to finish running’), otguljat’ (‘to fin-
ish walking, partying’), otrabotat’ (‘to finish working’) and otkričat’
(‘to finish crying’) with and without the pronoun svoë (‘own’). Their
answers provided new light to solve two questions, which are cur-
rently object of harsh discussion: must the idea of conclusion, car-
ried by the Finitive prefix ot- to the verbal base, be explained by
a concept of ‘completion’ (COMPL) or by one of ‘exhaustion of the
internal resouces’ (ESAUR)?; is the idea of conclusion of the Fin-
itive verbs of relative nature, i.e. valid only for the reference mo-
ment, but unvalid for the future, or of an absolute one? The results
of the experiment show that out of the association with svoë Fin-
itive verbs seem to reflect a relative concept of COMPL, frequent-
ly attested to in the students’s answers by terminative periphrasis
