The frequentative is used to describe a situation (an event or state of affairs) as frequently repeating. The aim of this question is to determine whether frequentativity can be expressed by means other than lexical ones. Both in North Mansi (1) and Hungarian (2), a derivational suffix is used to convey frequentativity.

(1) North Mansi

suns- vs. suns-iyl-
'to watch' vs. 'to watch repeatedly'
(Riese 2001:58)

(2) Hungarian

olvas vs. olvas-gat**
'to read' vs. 'to read repeatedly'

Coding

The value is '1' if the expression of frequentativity can be clearly attributed to a grammatical device. If only lexical means are available in a language, the answer is '0'.
