Russian is one of the most difficult languages in the world. It has many rules, which, in turn, have exceptions. In this article, we will talk about the alternation of vowels. And also give examples of words with the root lag / lies.
What is alternation
In Russian, there are cases when a letter in the main morpheme changes in cognate words. It can be either a consonant or a vowel. At the same time, the lexical meaning of the main morpheme is preserved. And if you pick up words with the same root, it turns out that they all carry a similar semantic load. The alternation of letters can be associated with a simplification of pronunciation, a suffix that comes after the main morpheme, stress followed by a consonant, the lexical meaning of the root, etc.
In this article we will talk about the features of the alternation of vowels a / o. In this case, we are talking about several factors that affect writing. Namely: stress, the presence of a, the meaning of the root of the word. Consider the features of the use of words with the root -lag- and others that confirm this phenomenon.
Alternation of vowels a/o. Rule
Words with the root lag/log/lie are the most common. In this case, with an unstressed vowel in the main morpheme, a is used before r, and o before j. O.
Examples with the root -lag-: suggest, urgent, expound, adjective, etc.
Examples with the root -false-: assumption, statement, put, put, etc.
Examples with the root -log-: tax, preposition, pledge, etc.
There are a number of roots with alternating a/o. These include the main morphemes with a: -gar-, -zar-, -pay-, -clan-, -tvar-, etc. Roots with the vowel o are considered paired. Among them: -gor-, -zor-, -sing-, -clone-, -creation-, etc. Let's give some examples., declination, adamant, creator, creature, creativity, get up, creation, etc.
