Abstract
The article analyzes multiplicative verbs (mordere - to bite) in Italian-Russian language pairs in contrast to lexical units belonging to the internal-event type of pluractionality (morsicchiare - to nibble). We analyze Russian verbs-“convolutions” (kurnut’ - smoke), colloquial and slang forms (chitanut’ - read), and comparable Italian constructions with -ata verbal nouns (mangiucchiata), which compete with semelfactive perfective forms. The aim of the study is a comparative description of verbs and other lexical units with multiplicative and semelfactive semantics.
