Journal Title: Література та культура Полісся - Year 2017, Vol 86, Issue 8
Abstract
The article makes an attempt to analyze A. Potebni's views on the origins and historical development of the adjective as a separate /exicogrammatical class of words, notes the scientist's thoughts on the oldest features and semantic abstractness of the adjective. Attention has been drawn to the categories of degrees of comparison as one of the morphological and derivational categories. A. Potebnya pays attention to the semantic-grammatical aspect of creating the degrees of comparison, expressing a reasoned opinion on the understanding of quality as a substance, which was first realized in the attribution of the noun. Based on the facts of written monuments, the author of "From Notes on Russian Grammar" emphasizes the existence of an analogy between nouns and adjectives in the ability to create degrees of comparison. The article also draws attention to the research of other students (0. Espersen, V. Nimchuk, V. Pogore/ov, J. Yanov) regarding the possibility of nouns to create degrees of comparison.
