The first part of the paper revisits some of the well established arguments against treating passive as a grammatical category in Polish. More precisely, it is argued that there is no passive transformation. Firstly, a sentence, such as '(Szkola) jest zbudowana', does not have a precise active counterpart, for it may express a form of present perfect and, thus, temporal meaning which is absent from '(Oni) buduja' or 'zbuduja (szkole)'. Secondly, no active counterpart at all can be construed for a passive without overt subject, such as 'W pokoju bylo napalone'. These facts suggest that passive in Polish is not the result of some syntactic operation. Again in line with well established existing proposals, The author concludes that passivization belongs to word formation. Crucially, a form, such as 'zbudowana', is an adjective derived from a verb whose most prominent argument has been blocked from surfacing as subject. Hence passivization is based on a change to verbal argument realization. It is at this point where the present paper goes one step further than existing accounts. If passivization is an operation that alters argument realization, it is in essence not different from similar derivational processes. As in other languages, these are frequent and diverse in Polish too, such as the complete suppression of the most prominent argument as a result of reflexivization (Szklanka sie stlukla), as well as morphologically unmarked forms of multiple argument realization, e.g. 'Marek napelnia basen woda - Woda napelnia basen'. Thus, in conclusion, it is proposed that passive voice in Polish (as well as certain types of reflexives) represent the same type of derivation as other alternations to verbal argument realization.

The author concentrates on the Slovak word 'nezdobizen' or 'nedobizen' which in the Slovak lexis can be included in the numerous group of words with the suffix – izen. It presents the origin and history of this word in the Slavic context and it takes notice of its use in papers from the 15th century and its lexical processing up to today. The author concludes that phrases 'nezdobizen' and 'nedobizen' were commonly used in communication in the older period of development of the Slovak language. It was known by intellectuals, but used also in ordinary spoken language and in dialects. Considering their little frequency in use and uncertain meaning we can classify these words as historicisms.

The subject of the description provided in the article is word formation activeness of the pronoun 'SAM' ( 'alone', '(by) oneself', 'only', 'mere' and 'very') in contemporary Polish. The analysis of the derivational nest of the pronoun 'SAM' constitutes a point of departure for the dissertation. The author proves that this pronoun has a minimum derivational potency, which has to be enhanced by connecting another root words from beyond the nest. Thus, compound formations significantly outnumber non-compound motivated words of the first derivational tact. He analyses the differences between the word formation activeness of compound nouns and adjectives of the first tact. The former create mainly nouns by multiplication of the same derivational models (this is the phenomenon of quantitative word formation activeness), the latter produce less derivates, which are however more diverse (qualitative activeness) and represent all parts of speech beside the verb whose lack is pointed as a distinctive feature of the nest of the pronoun 'SAM'. Moreover, the author presents the derivational graph of the pronoun on which he marks quantitative and qualitative centers of pronoun derivation.

This paper deals with one of the main issues in the history of parts of speech in Hungarian: that concerning how the individual word classes get expanded, in what way(s) new items emerge within, or are added to, a given word class. Related research has focussed on the various ways of word formation (compounding, derivation, lexicalisation of suffixed forms, etc.). Most parts of speech, however, get expanded in another manner, too: by way of conversion. For instance, adverbs like 'reggel' (in the morning) were converted into nouns (morning), adverbs like 'hátra' (to the back) into preverbs (back), adverbs like 'ha' (whether), 'hogy' (how) into conjunctions (if, that), adverbial participles like 'múlva' (having passed) into postpositions (some amount of time; later), etc. This paper explores that process of conversion. The phenomenon has received a number of interpretations in the international literature; the present author uses the term in a restricted sense. She argues for the claim that 'zero derivation', 'derivation by a zero morpheme' does not result in a new lexical item in Hungarian, hence it is not an instance of lexicalisation, but rather it produces a new sense and thereby a new part-of-speech affiliation of an existing lexical item (she discusses the issues of polysemy and homonymy in passing). The paper raises a number of problems with respect to conversion and concludes with a tabular summary of the major directions of conversion in Hungarian: which parts of speech may serve as its sources and which may serve as its targets.

In the article on the material of new Ukrainian lexicon factors of occurrence and the tendencies of fixation in language of innovations of different types are considered: new derivative words, loans, meanings of already known words (neosemantyzms). The special attention is given to the interaction of own and borrowed resources of nomination, in particular, word-formative, to the parity of tendencies of internationalisation and nationalisation of modern Ukrainian language. Dynamic processes in lexical and word-formative standards of the Ukrainian language, semantic-pragmatic and functional-stylistic differentiation of innovations are analysed. The phenomena typical for development of modern Slavonic languages and caused by national specificity of the Ukrainian language and the political situation in new independent Ukraine are shown.

In the paper the authoress describes the dynamics of the word formation processes and their recording in 'Slovnik korenovych morfem slovenciny' (2007). Demotivation processes have several degrees that are reflected in the dictionary through various lexicographical tools of description. Depending upon the measure, semantic or formal decorrelation between two units leads to the existence of radix polysemy, delimitation of potential morphematic boundaries or perintegration in primary word formation structure.

The article discusses the formation, collocations, meanings, and spelling of ordinal numbers derived from numbers which are rational but not whole, namely from n a pul (n and a half). The analysis is based primarily on corpus data and partly on internet research.

Diskrétní jednotky v jazyce: případ cirkumfixů

Discrete units, viewed as multipartite fixed forms that function together as functional wholes, are examined here, first in a general background in various languages, and subsequently in Czech, through two extensive probes in a 100-million-word corpus. It is suggested that the phenomenon of the circumfix is not peripheral, as it is found in many languages. However, it depends greatly on the point of view taken, the one advocated here being new to traditional grammars. Of the two basic types, grammatical and lexical circumfixes, where there is a co-occurrence of both forms separated by a basis to which they are affixed, the latter case, which can be illustrated by examples such as nabrezi, namesti, nadrazi, is examined here in some detail. The major type examined is an adjectival combination of prefix+(stem)+suffix -ly and it is shown that in all 25 prefixes conjoined in an adjective, there are some circumfixes with the same meaning and function. It is argued that current approaches cannot discover the phenomenon because of its psychological holistic nature, against a vast background of cases that do not belong here. Naturally, with such a systematic and large-scale approach, a number of open questions arise, some of which invite further research.

Word formation variants of phraseological units are characterized by the difference in word formation structure of words-components and are represented more widely in slang than in the literary (standard) language. Word formation variation in slang is characterized by a specific set of means which are not represented in word formation variation of literary language phraseological units: in slang the variation of non-synonymous prefixes takes place; there is a tendency of forming variants by means of desuffixation; most phraseological variants are marked by reflected variation and the synonymy of a motivating and motivated variants, which leads to word formation affixes desemantization.

The article describes the processes of shortening in Polish and in Czech. The exemplificative material is mostly derived from the Polish and Czech teenage language, because this social group is treated as the most creative group of language users, although it is significant to point out, that in Czech, acronyms can be found in spoken language of adults more often than in the Polish language. The author also notices the tendency to shorten words of English origin among other things, due to the derivative-abbreviatory processes, for example: net < internet, noťas < notebook etc.

The paper constitutes a brief analysis of diminutives appearing in Czech and Polish. The Author’s major point of interest are functions of diminutive terms in folk works and in communication. As far as the communicative functions are concerned, notable are the manifestations of language infantalisation, irony, and familiarity. The quantitative ratio of the investigated forms appears to be comparable in both languages, although recently diminutives have been enjoying a particular popularity in the Polish youth slang.

The article is dedicated to Czech-Polish intralinguistic homonymy, in particular to the issue of deceptive derivational equivalence. First of all, the authoress analyzes feminatives and nominal diminutives which are so-called linguistic traps for Poles learning the Czech language. Furthermore, she raises the issue of deceptive adjectival equivalence with reference to adjectives in which the bases are deceptive words.

In the paper the authoresses ask questions concerning how are the rules of the word formative level created. They focus on series of incidences, leaving out sporadic instances but also putting on the side the models inherited from earlier times as well as those borrowed from other languages (eg. -cja from Latin, -ing from English). Thereby a new value of the term grammaticalization is created - the interest of the authors concerns the mechanism of creation of new word formation rules, that is only word formative grammaticalization. Sources of new models can be found in: 1) the lexical level (the affixes -dziej, -wspol-, -teka, -man); 2) the inflectional level (paradigmatic derivation, adjectivization of participles, substantivization of adjectives); 3) the syntactic level (nie-, the postfix sie). The paper is illustrated mostly by Polish examples however the authors hope that the aforementioned word formative grammaticalization processes can easily be supplemented with examples from other Slavic languages.

The paper outlines the development in the field of investigation of Slovak word formation in recent 25 years (1989 – 2014). The paper covers dominant areas in the field, i.e. theory and methodology (e.g. the concept of word-formation motivation), functions of word formation motivation, word-formation of verbs, adjectives, adverbs, compounding, the tendency toward internationalization, word-formation adoption of loan words, lexicographic treatment of Slovak word-formation and morphemics, word-formation of proper names, the role of word formation and the investigation of symmetries and asymmetries in the cross-linguistic study, the role of word-formation in a text etc. These aspects of word-formation are dealt in the works by J. Furdík, J. Horecký, K. Buzássyová, M. Nábělková and others.

Derived nickname anthroponyms (nicknames, unofficial anthroponyms) are formed from common nouns that motivate them and from other proper names as a result of suffixal derivation, paradigmatic derivation, interchangeable derivation, reductional derivation (reverse, negative), and reduplicational derivation. Determining the type of derivation always requires indicating the motivational (formative) base that contributed to the name’s creation. Most frequently used is suffixal derivation as characteristic for the Polish language and superior to the other derivations. An important role in the creation of nicknames is filled by paradigmatic derivation. Derivation may be accompanied by the disintegration of the motivational base and historically justified vowel and consonant alternations. Many nicknames are created by means of interchangeable derivation. Format functions are fulfilled by change of sounds and morphemes as well as change of lexemes (of the whole motivational base or a portion of it). New nickname anthroponyms develop in reductional derivation as a result of cutting off various fragments of the motivational bases.

The author provides a description of means and ways of forming nouns 'Nomina attributiva' based on the old Serbian texts from 12th until 15th century. It presents the systematization of individual formants' derivatives according to basic word formation categories. It makes the description of the language condition in 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th centuries and gives a comparison on some important differences between word formation in the researched period and that domain of science in a modern literary Serbian language.
