Abstract:
The Georgian verb conjugation system shows the relationship
between the Subject and the Object (or Objects) from the
point of view of belonging, so a verb can show Behaviors or Versions.
The category of Version in Georgian is secondary and should
be related to the change of the type of the Georgian verb
conjugation. In the scientific literature, an issue of the qualification
of the semantic varieties of the important categories of the
Georgian verb ("Version" and "Voice"), the problems of the expression
system of the person of the verb and related "Inversion",
and others are still on the agenda. We consider that the category
of Voice is a semantic category (I share D. Melikishvili's
opinion). Similar to the classification of Indo-European languages,
the category of the Voice in the Georgian verb, I think, the
wrong classification revealed a discrepancy between the semantic
definition and the formal classification of the "categories" of
"Voice" and "Version" and "overshadowed", making the nanosyntactic
functions of the vowel prefixes of the verb unclear.
The report contains an attempt to explain reinterpretations
of Version prefixes in Georgian and other Iberian-Caucasian languages,
based on morphosyntactic criteria. The category of Version
in Georgian as the secondary situation of the actant's belonging
relation in the polyvalent (in particular, personal conjugation)
Iberian-Caucasian nano-syntax; An attempt is made to
explain the hierarchy of nano-syntactic diasystems of these languages
and the nano-syntax of the Georgian language in the
context of "Version".
