<abstract xmlns="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0">Prefix ze- in Georgian is becoming more productive. It is used as superlative morpheme, although this prefix may have the spatial vector as well. The prefix ze- appears with nouns, adjectives, participles, infinitives and very rarely, with finite verbs. The detailed morpho-semantic analysis of the prefix ze- is displayed in the paper. The forms of adjectives and participles with this prefix could be considered as prefixed opposition forms for the degrees of adjectives with wider usage.&#13;
&#13;
The presented paper illustrates the process of grammaticalization of the prefix ze- along with the theoretical typologycal explanations for this process, exposing the additional examples form Georgian Sign Language. &#13;
