Abstract
This article discusses the functions of grammar in relation to lexical semantics and sets out to undertake lexico-grammatical analysis of some physiological verbs in the Russian language. It demonstrates the interaction of lexical and grammatical senses of a word in its structure on a specific language material. The verbs under discussion are: yest' (eat), pit' (drink), lechit' (treat), beremenet' (get pregnant), bolet' (be ill). This research is conducted by using descriptive-analytic method. It is worthwhile to find out to what extent verbal meanings can be presented through the system of grammatical categories. Lexico-grammatical characteristics of verbs with physiological meaning are presented within seven groups. Russian verbs have a number of categories which are not often taken into account in dictionaries. An attempt which brings together grammatical and semantic aspects of the verbs in a dictionary is made in this paper.

Summary
Multidimensionality of developed linguistic theories and methods disclose an intricate description of the Russian language as a multifunctional system which various aspects are interrelated and interdependent. The vocabulary and grammar interaction in the system of language description is considered to be one of the core problems within modern linguistics. This problem has a long scientific tradition but it has not become less topical in modern linguistic research. It is no accident that research on vocabulary and grammar interaction was preceded by works where lexical and grammatical systems are considered in isolation from each other. The validity of this approach is explained by the fact that the vocabulary and grammar have their own structural organization, contents and functional purpose. The notion of the formless words is not applied to the modern Russian language” (Vinogradov, 1972, p. 8)
