DIACHRONIC INVESTIGATION OF THE NOUNS WITH COLLECTIVE MEANING IN THE GERMAN LANGUAGE
Journal Title: Записки з романо-германської філології - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue
Abstract
The category of collectivity is one of the oldest in Germanic languages and is characterized by the following features: it contains the notion of a holistic set of objects; at the grammatical level can have a formal indicator; it can take the singular form. In German the given category is expressed by separate prefixes, in particular the prefix ge-, which originates from Latin com-, con- and has a long-term meaning “compatible”, which allows it to combine single homogeneous objects and express collectivity. The results contain new information about the origin and development of the prefix ge- in German and can be used in the practice of teaching German and in the course of lectures on the history of the German language.
