Sofronov; In particular, compound verbs are considered as the most widespread part of speech of the words of this structural type. The author describes four groups of compound verbs in terms of structural and semantic features. The author concludes that the active use by V.Sofronov of compound words in general and verbs in particular is a prime means of stylization, imparting folklore-related identity to the texts. A similar phenomenon is logically determined by the genre specifics of the texts.
