Grimirvam, lakirvam, instalirvam… and the culture of speech

The paper presents an orthoepic and orthographic grammar error that is of frequent occurrence in the verbs which end in suffix -ira-, mainly from foreign origin. The deviance is connected with the aspectual character of the suffix – its ‘two-aspectness’ and making out the verbal aspect as terminative aspect or as imperfective aspect according to the context. We study also the verbal attitude towards this error, the opinion of lingual users and specially the view of the linguistics – their arguments pro and con this rule and its change. The work is an attempt to generalize the causes for such pleo-nastic mistake (as far as we know that the interpolating of additional -v- run counter to the law of economy (‘economy act’) in our speech, for that reason it is redundant. Among our tasks is to make a list with the most often ‘wrong’ verbs under the degree of offending the ear (the most erroneous examples which evoke irritation) as it affects our stylistic sense of correct and/or proper usage of -ira-verbs and to prognosticate the ‘limen’ of tolerance towards the fault in the light of the subjective aesthetic standart (as a rate or norm – commonly accepted opinion).
