FUNCTIONING OF THE VØ CONSTRUCTION/FORM IN SHORT STORY OLD FRIENDS BY HAVRIJIL KOSTEL’NIK

Summary/Abstract: The Vø construction is the only verb construction that is identical to Vø form. The Vø construction is also the only verb construction that does not change depending on whether the subject is expressed in a sentence or not. By treating the topic, as a matter of fact, the author treats the Ruthenian verb system as a whole since the Vø form is incorporated in all Ruthenian verb constructions. If the Vø form is not incorporated as such, it is incorporated as БУЦ-ø, БУДЗЕ-ø, оr М-ø/ БИ-ø. Generally speaking the main objective was to analyze the temporal and aspectual func-tioning of the Vø construction in the Ruthenian language in short story Old Friends written by Havrijil Kostel’nik who is considered to be the founder of the Ruthenian language. The applied approach is based on structuralist procedures. The results of this study can be used in teaching Ruthenian and may serve as a starting point for further comparative and contrastive analyses.
