Roots & Suffixes[edit]

This is a draft for an appendix which deals with the system of morphological analysis for the Russian language known as the single-stem system which was developed by Roman Jakobsen and built upon by Charles E. Townsend, Charles Gribble and others. For an overview based on the more traditional two-stem anlysis, see instead Appendix:Russian verbs.

For some verbs this process can be hard to see because the consonant mutation only occurs across the word-family. Consonants г, к, х, ск and ц mutate before the verbal stems -и- and -е-, for example:

The motion verb pair таскать, таскаю, таскают vs. тащить, тащу, тащут (analysable as таск и -tʹ, таск-u, таск и -ut),[4] c.f. таскивать

Russian roots by their nature consonantal (that is, ending in a consonant) and may form words by combination with prefixes or suffixes (which include the various class of zero suffix) as well as the inflectional endings. Roots are theoretical forms, that is they never appear on their own (and any case where they do can be formally analysed as including a)

Stems on the other hand may be either consonantal or non-consonantal (ending in a vowel). Stems consist of a root which imparts the basic meaning and may be suffixed by a verbal stem. According to the single-stem system of analysis, almost all Russian verbs can be divided into two broad classes:

  • Nonsuffixed stems, which combine directly with the inflectional ending. They are all consonant stems and can be further classified according to final consonant type (obstruent, syllabic or non-syllabic resonant stems).
  • Suffixed stems, which contain one or more derivational suffixes between the root and the inflectional ending. These stems can be further divided into:
    • consonant stems (all with final suffixes ending in the palatal consonant -й);
    • vowel stems (this group also includes all suffixes forming verbs which would traditionally be described as belonging to the second conjugation: suffixes: И, Е and ЖА, with Ж representing any palatal consonant: Ш Ж Щ Ч as well as Й.

The basic form, from which the root can be clearly identified and all other forms including can be derived is for all consonant stems the third person plural, while for vowel stems the infinitive serves as the basic form. This is because of the truncation rules described above.

The exceptions number under thirty, the vast majority of which fit into one of the regular classes with only minor irregularities. The only two truly anomalous stems under this system: дад-ут (give) and ед-ят (eat), which nonetheless share many similarities with one another.

~-s[1] ־ס (-s) Plural formation of nouns Most nouns with unstressed final -ə ־ע (-e), -m ־ם (-m), -əm ־עם (-em), -ṇ ־ן (-n), -en ־ען (-en). Words of foreign origin with unstressed, non-reduced final vowel (auto, radio, etc.) Nouns in -er ־ער (-er) not referring to humans[2]; in some contexts, also human agentives in -er ־ער (-er) Sometimes alternates with ־ן (-n), ־ען (-en), especially in journalistic and some formal usage; where both exist, the latter usually engenders a more abstract meaning.[3]
-ṇ ־ן (-n), ־ען (-en) Plural formation Some inherited Germanic vocabulary; Daytshmerisms; some non-diminutives in syllabic -ḷ ־ל (-l) Common in political terminology borrowed from German in the 19th century.[3]
-er ־ער (-er) Plural formation Many inherited Germanic words; a very small number of words of Semitic origin, e.g. pónəm פּנים (pnim)pénəmər פּנימער (pnimer). May or may not also involve vowel shift (umlaut)
∅ + umlaut Plural formation Many inherited Germanic words

Plural formation Family names ־עס (-es) after names ending in sibilants: ־ז, ־זש, ־סש, ־ס, ־צ, ־ש
~-əs[1] ־עס (-es) Plural formation Some nouns, mostly those of Slavic origin. Sometimes stem undergoes vowel changes
-im, -əm ־ים (-im) Plural formation 1) Some nouns of Semitic origin in unstressed ־א (-a), ־ה (-h), e.g. יום־טובֿ (yontev)יום־טובֿים (yontoyvem);

2) Small number of nouns of non-Semitic origin, e.g. דאָקטער (dokter)דאָקטוירים (doktoyrim); נאַר (nar)נאַראָנים (naronim); פּויער (poyer)פּויערים (poyerim);

Stress shifts to penultimate syllable; many stems undergo vowel changes[5]; Sometimes a syllable is added or changed between stem and suffix

Most nouns in -er ־ער (-er), -or ־אָר (-or) acquire a pejorative or sarcastic sense when pluralised this way

-əs ־ותֿ (-us) Plural formation Mostly nouns of Semitic origin (most in unstressed ־א (-a), ־ה (-h); some ending in a consonant); מעשׂה (mayse/manse)מעשׂיות (mayses/manses); אות (os)אותיות (oysyes); Stress shifts to penultimate syllable; many stems undergo vowel changes;[5] final ־ה (-h) is dropped; phonetically identical with ~-əs ־עס (-es)
-əkh, -akh ־עך (-ekh) Plural formation Nouns ending in syllabic -ḷ ־ל (-l) Mandatory for diminutives; some non-diminutives alternate with ־ען (-en)
