Atyp v cihle: on a specific means of univerbation in contemporary Czech

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

The article focuses on specific univerbated lexical units which are formed by desuffixation on an adjective in the initial noun phrase. This process leads to two different kinds of neologisms: lexical units having a new, discrete form (such as mobil), and lexical units with the form of an existing lexeme (such as bronz). The latter type reflects both semantic and word-forming processes. The author presents number of neologisms of both types, and discusses their meaning, use and frequency.
