Summary/Abstract: In this article inchoative verbs in three Slavonic languages: Bulgarian (southern group), Polish (western group) and Belarusian (eastern group) are analyzed. The basic reasons for the observed quantitative differences in terms of inchoative verbs in the three studied languages are explained. The adopted semantic analysis made it possible to determine the regularities in the creation of inchoative verbs and to describe the semantic classes characterized by a greater productivity of inchoative verbs in them.
