The paper describes types of derivational formatives in Polish and Romanian functional, i.e. synchronic derivation, focusing on the proper derivation (i.e. derivation from single-word bases). The proper derivation is positioned as a type of word-formation and a branch of morphology. The author identifies theprimary functions of derivational formatives: the semantic, pragmatic and syntactic function. The formatives are identified using a methodology developed in Polish word-formation theory, especially within nest derivatology. Applying a methodology developed for the description of the Polish word-formationsystem is aimed at distinguishing derivational formatives in Romanian. The author identifies and classifies the following types of derivational formatives in Romanian: affixes (among these prefixes, suffixes, postfixes and ambifixes), alternants (defined as members of alternation), negative formatives (in backformation), paradigmatic formatives (defined as changes in inflexional paradigm), zero formative and accentual formatives. The author also suggests including the types of word-formation stems in the description of the formal structure of derivatives.

While exploring the motivationality of Czech phraseological units, this article focuses undivided attention on ‘the motivation of word collocations’ induced by the relation between individual components and the phraseological whole, paying no regard to motivation inspired by phonetics, word formation, or semasiology/onomasiology. It is generally acknowledged that, in most cases, phraseological units are not directly and measurably motivated by their components. Our aim is to evidence that direct motivation can be traced in some phraseological groupings performing the denominating function and in phrasemes comprising a particular formal structure which will be described and supported by examples.

The article is devoted to the study of the theoretical basis of autonomous secondary naming processes and scrutinizing the issues, related to this type of naming in the scope of modern Arabic lexicology as a productive means of assigning meanings to concepts.The article reviews approaches of native and Arabic authors to the comprehension of the phenomenon and features of autonomous secondary naming (in modern Arabic linguistics – ‘Al-Majaaz’).The paper deals with morphological nuances of word formation and specific aspects of functioning of lexical units formed as the result of Al-Majaaz. It also touches upon semantics of secondary autonomous units.The article shows the correlation between autonomous secondary nomination units and single-word semantic borrowings (loans). Morphological characteristics of single-unit loan words and the reasons of their functioning in Modern Literary Arabic are also subject to study.The paper considers the prospects of autonomous secondary units functioning in the context of their interconnection with polysemy, homonymy and synonymy.This paper will be of interest for students, who study Arabic and lexicology, semantics and morphology issues, as well as for translators interested in word formation processes.

Slang is a language that is used daily and continues to grow due to the development of social media among fan communities. Each fan community has used slang specific to their interests, one of them being the K-Pop fandom. Despite the international growth of the K-Pop fandom and the spread of its cultural influence over recent years, there has been a lack of discussion on the linguistic aspect of its community, on the slang generated and used by its fan community in particular. Therefore, this research aims to expound on how K-Pop fandom slang words found in the drama ‘Her Private Life’ are formed. The study based its theoretical framework on the National Institute of Korean Language’s (2014) classification of new words in Korean based on its wordformation process. Out of the 24 slang words analyzed from the drama ‘Her Private Life’, there are 3 slang words in the form of a single word and 21 slang words in the form of a complex word. In the case of single-word form slang words, all 3 are created through the borrowing process; while complex-word form slang words are mostly created through the blending process, equating to 9 words in total.

The relevance of the article is due to the consideration of current trends in the development of Ukrainian road-building terminology (URBT), in particular in the context of structural organization. The purpose of the investigation is analyzing road-building terms formed by compounding words or stems. Since URBT is part of the lexical composition of the Ukrainian language, it is quite reasonable to analyze the formation of terms as lexical units. We have classified single-word terms into simple and complex ones by identifying the word-forming stems. The concept “simple” denotes terms with a single stem. The notion “complex” concerns composite terms, which are formed by combining stems using interfixes and in some cases suffixes, and juxtaposite terms, which express one concept but are formed by combining several words into a complex one. According to the lexical and grammatical characteristics of word-forming stems and word-forming means, the methods of word-formation are divided into several types, among which we have chosen one of the most common — the morphological one. At the present stage of the development of RBT, the methods of juxtaposition and composition play an extremely important role, providing the formation of terms satisfactory in their parameters. The actualization of these methods is conditioned by the fact that striving for completeness of a certain scientific concept can be sufficiently supported by multi-stem or multi-word nominates represented as one word. The carried out analysis of composite terms of the RB industry has shown that two-stem complex formations predominate among them, but terms with several stems are also present.

The word-formation theory is often avoided in English language course books and little research is conducted on the pedagogical status of word-building process. However, many researchers and lecturers have realized the effect of teaching word-formation theory in English languages course books. English language lecturers have noted that vocabulary is very important in various subjects of English language branch curricula. For this reason, we must admit that the processes of word-formation, through which every language vocabulary can be enriched, are very important in English language teaching and learning. Word formation components such as prefixes, suffixes, etymology, history of words and other required materials in composing the vocabulary of English language are tested in Aleksandër Moisiu University. The results have revealed a significant and successful effect of teaching Word formation theory, this way showing the colossal importance of this important language aspect in every English language edition course book. This paper has two aims: first to review types of English word-formation and, second, to discuss the absence and the need for word-formation theory in English language course books. Keywords: Word formation, prefixes, suffixes, words, vocabulary.

This chapter presents data from six children learning American English at two developmental points: first word use and the end of the single-word period, when templates typically first begin to be identifiable. The chapter lays out procedures for identifying prosodic structures and variants and also consonant inventories, which give insight into the child’s resources for word production. Analysis of the most frequently used prosodic structures is followed by an analysis of each child’s data to permit template identification, based primarily on high proportionate use and adaptation. A developmental comparison of the two data sets shows continued reliance, by all the children, on the default or simplest CV structure, but advances in use of one- and two-syllable structures with codas. Consonant variegation is found to be the single greatest challenge for early word formation.

Abstract In our article, we present a few discussion notes on the current processing and standardization of Slovak onomastic terminology. In our opinion, proprialization is not only a word-formation process, but primarily the functional one. The function of the word, that is seen as the first within the process of proprialization, is being changed too. Due to this fact, the formal part of the proper name is recognized as secondary. Furthermore, we think that even the process of transonymization – from functional, not formal approach – can be accepted in its wider understanding. It can be defined as transfer of proper name motivation from one object to another regardless of any formal criterion. What is more, this transfer is possible even within the same onymic class. The transfer could be accompanied with a change in the formal structure or grammatical meaning of the new proper name; because not just the form of the proper name (or the part of the form) is transferred to another object, but also its function, ability to be an “individual and specific name” for another object. But the process of transonymization itself requires transfer of the proper name from one denotatum to another. Thatʼs why we do not recognise any formation of the name variants for the same object as the process of transonymization.

The Republic

One of the important problems put forward by the language policy and language strategy in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the modernization of the spelling rules of the Kazakh language based on the new romanized alphabet. In this regard, taking into account the internal specifics of the language, active work is being carried out to update the spelling of the native Kazakh and borrowed words. Of particular relevance is borrowing, incl. phrases formed by tracing. The need to study this layer of borrowings also lies in the fact that traced word combinations are characterized by close relationships between word formation and the syntactic structure of the Kazakh language. As a result of such relations, composite nominative units are created that are semantically integral, stylistically neutral and functionally equal to a single word. When creating such phrases, productive word-forming formants (-лық / -лік and -лы / -лі) are involved, which have common functional meanings. In connection with the synonymy of the meanings of the formants in written communication, spelling variants of compound names appear. Spelling discrepancy is also observed in the terminological corpus of the Kazakh language. This article is devoted to the study of ways and methods of unification, codification of semantically integral compound names created by tracing and adding synonymous word-formation formants to the motivating component.

Descriptive Method

  Objective: Objective of the study was to assess the linguistics-based product naming methods of some over the counter (OTC) medicine in Indonesia and their impacts to companies and consumers.Methods: The study uses qualitative descriptive method carried out among 57 data randomly taken from the lists of OTC medicine issued by some pharmaceutical companies in Indonesia. The data were classified into the morphological theory regarding the word formation methods which discusses the process of forming the words, product naming strategy and theory of OTC products taken from FDA.Results: This study shows that a proper and precise OTC medicine naming method can employ the linguistics aspect especially word formation theory to describe the kinds, characteristics, and the usage of the products. The word formation methods found in this study are blending 59.6% (34 products), clipping 1.7% (1 product), compounding 3.5% (2 products), and unknown method 35% (20 products). In the context of product naming strategies, 65% of the data employs superiority and product advantage emphasizes, usability or ability conducted by the product, and showing what can be obtained using the product. While the remains 35% does not employ the product naming strategies properly except easy to pronounce. The unknown OTC medicine naming method is not on target with the OTC medicine consumers in Indonesia since the meaning of the product names are not easily recognized from their namings.Conclusion: From the results, it can be underlined that the product naming processes should be in line with the product naming strategies to have effective and understandable names of OTC medicine. There are 59.6% using blending naming, 1.7% using clipping, 3.5% using compounding, and 35% using unknown method. In the context of product naming strategies, 65% employs superiority and product advantage emphasizes, usability or ability conducted by the product, showing what can be obtained using the product; 35% does not employ the product naming strategies properly except easy to pronounce. The ineffective and not understandable names of OTC could lead to disadvantages for both companies and consumers.
