Abstract:  Some verbal units with adverb particles and prepositional particles are functioning in modern conversational vocabulary of German. The author is making an effort to comprehend and systematize motivational links appearing between colloquial verbal units and motivating lexical items in their vast variety and complexity.
While classifying different types of motivation a certain type of lexical-semantical variation of a motivating word as well as semantic transformation of the stem in the word-formation should be taken into account. The latter is quite typical of colloquial vocabulary. Consequently the author distinguishes four major groups of verbal units with complete, partial, figurative and expressive motivation; within them some additional differentiation can be found.
Particular attention is devoted to specific motivational features of verbal units produced from verbs with broad semantic potential. In the proposed classification in accordance with their motivation degree and nature the verbal units produced from their stems with generalized meaning are divided into two groups. The first comprises those with complete direct motivation and the units characterized by complete both structural and semantic segmentability. The second group covers partially motivated units with motivating stem substantiation.

Keywords:  colloquial vocabulary, verbal units, motivation, word-formation metaphorization.
