Abstract

The article is devoted to Ye. F. Shyrokorad’s research into the history of verb forms ending in -ся (-sya) in the Russian literary language. The scientist’s contribution to the issue of reflexive forms of Russian verbs is revealed. Having studied the considerable empirical material (M. V. Lomonosov’s and his contemporaries’ works) and concepts of a number of scientists drew Ye. F. Shyrokorad arrived at the conclusion that postfix -ся (-sya) performs in Russian both form-building and word-building functions and that the category of verb forms ending in -ся (-sya) in the Russian literary language of the mid XVIII ct. can be defined as rather formed. Key words: the Russian literary language, verb, postfix -ся (-sya), formbuilding and word-building functions, voice of a verb.
