Abstract: This article represents a comparative study of the verbs of slow movement in the modern non-cognate languages. The absence of comparative study of the verbs of slow movement in the English and Chuvash languages define the relevance of this work. The goal consists in examination of the verbs of slow movement based on the material of English and Chuvash languages, analysis of the semantic relations within this group, and revealing the determining features of linguistic units that belong to this semantic group, as the author believes that namely these determining features do not always coincide in the compared languages. The article employs the method of analysis of dictionary definitions, method of identification of meanings, and component analysis. Application of the method of interlingual comparison revealed common and distinctive components of the meaning, which are not evident in terms of intralingual analysis. The research relies on the data from electronic dictionaries. The novelty of this research consists in finding interlingual correspondences with varying degree of equivalence and differences among the verbs of slow movement in the English and Chuvash languages. The acquired results can be valuable in theory and practice of teaching English language of Russia-Chuvash audience, as well as for broadening linguistic horizon of the students.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to the comparative analysis of English and Chuvash verbs of intensive movements that comprise a separate lexical-semantic group in these languages. Relevance of this work is defined by the fact that there are relatively small amount of research on the comparative examination of verbs of movement in English and Chuvash languages, although they refer to one of the richest and diverse semantic groups within the verb as part of speech. An attempt is made to analyzes the words attributed to lexical-semantic group of intensive movement of a subject in space, establish semantic relations between the indicated units. The applied interlinguistic method allowed revealing a number of common and distinct features that are not evident in intralinguistic analysis. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that systemic examination of the group of verbs of intensive movement, which are united semantically, was conducted by comparison of linguistic means of multi-structural languages, namely English and Chuvash. The authors assume that the acquires results would contribute to better command of foreign languages, as well as more in-depth and comprehensive studying of the native language, as well as provide essential material for literary translation, formation and development of speech culture.
