Hello!I am writing my diploma work which is titled Verbs of motion in Russian and in English. I am doing a practical comparison on these verbs and I was wondering if anyone could give me a useful hint or a link i could help myself with. I have a lot of resources on the theoretical part but not so few on the practical part. I am concentrated on the most important pair idti/hodit. Does anyone have an idea how i should structure my comparison according to the fact that i am also comparing the slovene verb "go" with these two?thanx for help!

What do you mean by the practical part? Examples of usage?

555 Russian Verbs has a lot of examples. It's hard to suggest how you should structure your comparison without knowing much about your project.

Thank you Asnia, that is useful, which dictionary is that?. Well i intend to structure the examples of usage based on the dictionary explanations of the verb go but I also need something more, because I need 100 pages of this:)so i am also going to write something about aspect properties of the verb pair idti/hodit...but that is not a lot of material so something else would be necessary to include in the explanations...there a not a lot of books on motion verbs espec. connected with English...so if you no a title...anything would help...:)
