Abstract

The paper presents the analysis of Czech verbal prefixes, which is the first step of a project that has the ultimate goal an automatic morphemic analysis of Czech. We studied prefixes that may occur in Czech verbs, especially their possible and impossible combinations. We describe a procedure of prefix recognition and derive several general rules for selection of a correct result. The analysis of “double” prefixes enables to make conclusions about universality of the first prefix. We also added linguistic comments to several types of prefixes.

Notes

  1. 1.

    He studied the way of creating a perfect verb from an imperfect one by means of prefixation.

  2. 2.

    There may be more roots, but it is not typical and we can omit those cases, for simplicity.

  3. 3.

    This assertion needs to be verified.

  4. 4.

    za-stavit, u-stavit, vy-stavit, ....

  5. 5.

    There is only a small set of verbs which have really more possible meaningful segmentations. An example is the verb voperovat that is a substandard variant of the unprefixed verb operovat (= to operate), but can be also segmented as v-operovat (= to implant).
