The aim of this paper is to present various empirical studies on word-formation, not within linguistic approach but in relation to learning and teaching of a foreign language. The paper largely concentrates on studies carried out among learners of German as a second language. The studies presented in this paper are based on teaching materials as well as students’ perspective in word-formation exercises. Based on presented approaches, certain faults in current studies were pointed out as well as new study areas proposed.

The paper borrows the concept of (non)concatenation from morphology and applies it to wordformation patterns both within and outside the scope of derivational morphology, arguing at the same time for a broader, lexicological approach to lexeme-formation (as a model of vocabulary expansion) than that identifying word-formation with derivational morphology. It arrives at the conclusion that the binary division of lexeme-formation into either concatenative or nonconcatenative patterns does not reflect the character of many patterns accurately enough.

The idea of the Polish scientist, Jerzy Kaliszan, regarding the omo-reference of the facts of word-formation and form-formation in the Russian language is developing on the basis of Russian urbanonyms; it has been established that the formation of targeted linear inner city objects determines the internal dynamism of the grammatical system of the language, expands the fund of verbal resources, increasing the nomination possibilities and expanding the national linguistic picture of the world.

The article deals with the problem of grammar synonimics of Russian verbs like «алкать – алчет/алкает; рыкать – рыкает/рычет» (found in their present tense forms), including conditions and reasons, bringing such synonyms to life, and the ways in which they keep on being used in the language. One can consider this research to be actual due to its historical (diachronic) aspect: the analysis of forms is based on a wide historical material, fixed in vocabularies throughout the entire period from 11th to 20th century. The research results in a description of reasons, making grammar synonimics to appear at the verb forms level, and of means synonimic pairs are divided (separated) in speech.

Singulatives are nouns that refer to individual objects separated from the mass substance. We analyze singulatives: their structure, relationships with various groups of nouns, and means of expressing singularity. Simple singulatives are formed by adding suffixes to material collective nouns denoting a substance consisting of separate homogeneous objects or small particles, crystals that have a particular form and may be seen with a naked eye. Descriptive singulatives are formed from physical nouns denoting liquid, amorphous, powder substance or soft and hard materials that have no particular shape and consist of particles that are invisible to the naked eye and cannot be separated from the mass substance.

Starting from the observation that word-formation has received renewed attention in linguistics but remains marginal in the field of contrastive linguistics, the aim of this article is twofold: (a) to provide an overview and a reassessment of outstanding contrasts between English and French in lexical morphology: the productivity of compounding and conversion in English; the existence of and the constraints on conversion in French; the place of Romance and neo-classical compounds; the development of N+N compounds in contemporary French; (b) to show that basic morpho-syntactic differences in lexical structure are ultimately responsible for some of the semantic and stylistic effects observed in translation studies, with special attention to the link between compounds and metonymy in English and their translatability into French.

Growing global interest in information technology entails the need to be familiarised with its language. The author indicates a gap in linguistic research, namely the absence of regular analysis of both English and Polish IT languages. Moreover, the IT language should be differentiated from computer or programming languages. The paper presents the results of derivative analysis of texts written by IT specialists in order to illustrate the main tendencies of a new term creation in the target language, such as the Polish IT language. The author describes the derivative mechanism of Polish IT language compared to the primary language in the considered field of knowledge – English IT language. The paper also discusses the issue of originality of Polish IT language in its derivational dimension. The selected terms are analysed and classified according to affixes forming them. Such formation of new terms is presented through morpheme typology, composition as well as a word-formative nest. The description emphasises the variety of types and meanings that are present in derivational processes.

Cross-linguistic research in the field of word-formation (WF) is more or less an untilled area. The main goal of this paper is to compare WF systems in Slavic languages, to analyse and evaluate their nature by comparing WF processes and types in Slavic languages as a whole as well as in individual languages of the Slavic genus. The basis for the comparison is the parameter of saturation value which indicates the structural richness of WF systems in terms of synchronically productive processes. This parameter facilitates cross-linguistic comparison at different levels of generalization, in particular: (i) intra-language level – comparison of the relative contribution of individual WF processes within one language; (ii) inter-language level (a) – comparison of the role of selected WF processes in various languages; inter-language level (b) – comparison of WF systems of various languages; (iii) supra-language level – comparison of WF in various language genera; language families and/or areas (Sprachbunds). The most typical features of compounding, affixation and conversion in Slavic languages are highlighted and illustrated with examples. The method applied to the analysis of word-formation processes is the semasiological method. The results, summarized in tables, make it possible to identify prototypical features of word-formation in Slavic languages.

This paper deals with the word-formation of Mayakovsky’s neologisms, the principles of their composition and also the objects subjected to neologization. Attention is also paid to the Nachleben of these neologisms in contemporary Russian, based on the research into the Russian National Corpus. The paper is a result of the analysis of all Mayakovsky’s neologisms listed in A. Humesky’s book Majakovskij and His Neologisms (1964), except for those originated by the simple connection of two words or word components. The results were compared with the most recent work dealing with Mayakovsky’s neologisms, V. N. Valavin’s dictionary (Word-formation of Mayakovsky. An Attempt at a Dictionary of Occasiоnalisms). It is argued that the main word-formation principle is that of composition (substantives and adjectives) and suffixation (verbs), that even today many neologisms show surprising vitality, and also that not all of the neologisms ascribed to Mayakovsky are indeed his authorial creations.

The aim of the paper is to seek an answer to the question how word-formation patterns, such as modification, transposition and mutation are realised with reference to Danish suffixal derivatives and to report on the ways that the main Danish suffixes have been described by various authors. It turned out that the right hand-head-rule is more often realized in Danish nominal derivatives than in German ones.

Word-formational productivity of onomatopoeic interjections imitating machine sounds in SloveneThe article presents partial results of a wider study about the lexical potential of interjections in Slovene from the functional and lexicographical perspectives. The study focuses on interjections imitating machine sounds which are presented as entries from a to ž in the Slovenian Ortography (2001).On the basis of examples found, interjections were classified into more homogenous groups according to the type of machine. Each category was further analyzed by using corpus analysis, which was carried out on the trial version of the billion-word corpus of the Slovene language called Gigafida. The analysis focused on the existence of words created from interjections whose base comes from one of the subcategories of onomatopoeic interjections presented here.The results of the analysis have confirmed that this type of interjections and words formed from them are relatively frequent in expressive discourse. The most prominent are the interjections typically used for imitating the sound of musical instruments and their parts (brenk), tools (švrk, škrt), weapons (pok, švist) and transportation devices (puh).The results also showed that the interjections which are the base for forming verbs give rise to more extensive word families. Verbs formed from interjections can also form complex words of a higher order according to established word-formational patterns. Produktywność słowotwórcza słoweńskich wtrąceń onomatopeicznych naśladujących dźwięki maszynNiniejszy artykuł jest częścią większego projektu, badającego potencjał leksykalny wtrąceń w języku słoweńskim z perspektywy funkcjonalnej oraz leksykograficznej – w pracy przedstawione zostaną jedynie wyniki badań nad tymi wtrąceniami, które naśladują dźwięki maszyn.Materiał do badania, tj. konkretne wtrącenia, został zaczerpnięty ze słownika ortografii słoweńskiej (Slovenski pravopis, 2001). Znalezione przykłady zostały następnie pogrupowane w zależności od typu maszyn, których dźwięki naśladują. Kolejny etap to pogłębiona analiza każdej grupy za pomocą testowej wersji korpusu języka słoweńskiego Gigafida (korpus ten zawiera około miliarda słów). Analiza ta miała na celu zbadanie, czy istnieją słowa utworzone na bazie wtrąceń należących do jednej z omawianych tutaj grup.Badanie wykazało, iż tego typu wtrącenia oraz słowa od nich utworzone stosunkowo często występują w dyskursie o charakterze ekspresywnym. Ze wszystkich wtrąceń najczęściej występowały te, które naśladują dźwięk instrumentów muzycznych lub ich części (brenk), narzędzi (švrk, škrt), broni (pok, švist) oraz środków transportu (puh).Co więcej, wtrącenia, od których tworzone są czasowniki, dają początek bardziej rozbudowanym rodzinom wyrazowym. Takie czasowniki mogą również wchodzić w skład bardziej złożonych słów, tworzonych za pomocą typowych dla języka słoweńskiego mechanizmów słowotwórczych.

The paper is an attempt to analyse the word верх ‘top’, and to construct a derivational nest for the root -верх-. The source material was excerpted from linguistic atlases, dialectal dictionaries, dialectal recordings, and other specialist studies. The focus lies primarily on the phonetic, semantic, and wordformative aspect. The analysed words display phonetic features that are typical for south-western dialects of Ukrainian, as well as their semantic and derivational variation. The resulting derivational nest is a complicated system of cognate words that cover four different levels of word formation (the first level is the base word верх). Dialectal data are provided in tables. The examples show that an analysis of the system of derivatives is able to: identify the most complete phonetic variants of words, find semantic variants of each derivative, compare UD derivatives of the root -верх- (-wierzch-) with PD, describe specific dialectal word-formative patterns which are not characteristic of the standard language, and to record an ancient phenomenon.

The text will define the expressive nature of lexemes from a new group of feminatives, the determinant of which is the suffi x -essa. The study is an attempt to record this group. The lexemes under examination will be subject to a wordformation analysis. The precise determination of the type of expressiveness of words will be facilitated by the results of a survey conducted among Polish language users. The paper will be concluded with a discussion on the possible future of lexemes with the formant -essa in Polish.

This article is dedicated to sound signalling in the history as one of the ways of non-verbal communication of a community. Due to the extensiveness of the subject matter, the author significantly narrowed down the analysis. She based her description on word formation issues rather than phraseological units, metaphorisations. She endeavoured to demonstrate that the point of view is also important in descriptions of phenomena bordering on language and culture. Her interests include word-formation nests of three instrument names: a bell, a trumpet, and a drum. The analysis concentrated on three fundamental functions of the enumerated instruments, functions displayed by word-formation devices: announcing, publicising information; summoning, gathering, calling people; excluding from the community. The material was collected from old and historical dictionaries, their corpora and files.

Traditionally, phraseology deals with multi-word lexical units. However, mentions of idiomatic compounds and derivatives, i.e. lexical idioms, are far from scarce in linguistic literature even though their only systematic treatment appears to have been presented by Čermák (2007a, b). The present paper attempts to analyse complex words in English to explore the relation between the regular and the idiomatic in word-formation. The study is carried out on a sample of 1000 lexemes from BNC. The sample contains 681 complex lexemes of which 381 are regular and 300 contain one or more anomalies. The results point to an unexpectedly high number of formal anomalies and this leads to the conclusion that non-productivity should not be a criterion of idiomaticity in English due to a high number of relatively systematic, but unproductive structures. Idiomaticity is seen as a scalar value influenced by the degree of opaqueness, discrepancy between word-formation and lexical meaning, and presence of formal or collocational anomaly.

The article deals with the evolution of word-formative types of nouns with new international formants -инг/-ing, -(о)голик/-(о)holik, -завр/-zaur, -оид/-oid that can express the complex concepts of attributive and contextual content. The composition of a new type of words with morphemes -инг/-ing, -(о)голик/-(о)holik, -завр/-zaur corresponds to a historical drift in the formation of analytic and agglutinative lines in the Russian and Polish languages.

This paper proposes an exploratory bird’s-eye view of contrastive word-formation research, an area which, to date, remains largely under-researched in the three fields in which it partakes, namely morphology, contrastive linguistics and lexicology. Studies in contrastive word-formation, as well as their meta-analysis in terms of scope, objectives and data, are presented in a critical survey of the literature, together with an extensive bibliography (1960–2010). A new contrastive methodology for future research is looked into and the major practical applications of contrastive word-formation in bilingual lexicography and translator training, among others, are overviewed. Contrastive word-formation, it is argued, should be set within a more rigorous theoretical and methodological framework, which would be characterised by a dynamic conception of the tertium comparationis and the use of empirical data drawn from multilingual corpora.

In this paper I propose a framework for a contrastive investigation of English, German and Dutch adverbial suffixes. According to the morphological literature, these three genetically related languages have an inventory of suffixes for the creation of adverbs. However, only English has a systematic process of adverb formation (namely, with the suffix -ly) whereas German and Dutch lack such regularity. Any attempt at investigating German and Dutch adverbs and adverb formation more closely has to deal with problematic formal class distinctions. In this paper I aim to show that a function-based approach sheds new light on the notion of adverbial morphology and that the traditional conception of “adverbial suffixes” as morphemes for adverb formation may need to be fine-tuned. As such, a contrastive study of English, German and Dutch adverbial morphology from a functional perspective can contribute to a greater understanding of the more general issue of the demarcation of a class of adverbs.

Coordinate compounding is a process which has been only sporadically considered in word-formation studies on Germanic and Romance languages. In this paper, we compare the situation in English with that in Spanish as far as formal structure and semantics are concerned. To this end, an operational definition of coordinate compounding is first provided, after which a semantic classification of coordinate compounds is developed. For each type, variants are discussed, representative examples are provided, and similarities and dissimilarities between the two languages are highlighted. We finish by raising the issues of recursiveness and productivity in coordinate compounding and we examine the possibilities of expansion and profitability of the different patterns. Our analysis reveals marked similarities between English and Spanish coordinate compounding at various levels, hinting at the possible existence of a cross-linguistic set of common core features in the class of coordinate compounds in both Germanic and Romance.

The paper discusses the testing/assessment of word-formation skills in thresholdlevel (B1) learners. To determine the suitability and use of productive gap-fill exercises at this level, an example of a word-formation exercise is addressed from the following perspectives: word frequency (corpus data), morphological complexity (morpheme types and wordformation processes), syntactic environments (typical sentence and/or phrase patterns), analysis of statistical data (facility values) and test-takers’ errors. The text also addresses some implications of the findings for the instruction of lexis.
