Abstract

The article deals with the problem of semantic classification of the verbs of the North
American continent. 60 verbs marked in the dictionaries (Hornby, Webster, Gage) as British,
American, Canadian have been chosen for the investigation. The classification of verbal lexemes
according to their semantic meaning suggested by A.A. Ufimtseva has been taken for the basis of
this research. According to this classification all the verbs fall into two groups: lexemes of active
action and lexemes of nonactive action.
