WORD AND WORD FORM: DERIVATIONAL TYPES, LINGUISTIC SIGNIFICANCE AND FUNCTIONS
The problem of correlation of two notions “word” and “word form” is the central problem in Russian Grammar (Morphology) and is connected with some priority areas of the modern linguistics in the framework of the general anthropocentric approach to the language description. Derivational processes are connected with the notion of motivation and viewed in the paper. This motivation defines the eduction of different derivational types, which are united by a cognitive-communicative approach. The linguistic significance of the word form is determined as a conceptual structure, “servicing” conceptual content of the word-lexeme. The fundamental functions of the word forms and their significance for description of the language as a multilevel structure are identified. The represented extended understanding of word form allows to solve some problems of methodological (the problem of relativity between content and form in the language), theoretical (the problem of identification of the word and different types of the word form) and practical nature (inclusion the grammar material into the lexicographic practice).
