The vocabulary of literary language of modern English that becomes rich these days we can see from the development process of its word formation. The role of history of prefixes in forming of new words in the word building is extensive. The article was explored the charachteristics of the history of the English language prefixes. During the Ancient and Middle Ages, prefixes were commonly used less in word formation than before. The decrease in prefixes, of course, is due to certain reasons. Some English prefixes, on the other hand, are derived from OE adverbs and prepositions, and ME and NE are more advanced in number in the creation of new words.

Word formation is the process of creating new words based on the word itself, or the other words. It means the new words can be created by shortens the words itself, combining them to the other words, add affixes to give grammatical information, etc. The aim of this study is to know the types of word formation used in a literary work, in this case, a novel. The object of this study is the 16th chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone written by J. K. Rowling. Type of this study is descriptive. The data were analyzed by using O’Grady & Archibald theory about word formation. The result shows that there were 340 words with the frequency 755 times have word formation process. Inflection (64.1%) becomes the most frequently used, and compounding (4.5%) becomes the less frequently used.

Comprehensive Study

Существенную часть лексического состава любого языка составляют дериваты, ввиду этого, особое значение в номинативной деятельности человека приобретает словообразование. Всестороннее и разноаспектное исследование словообразователь­ной системы языков и их диалектов является одной из самых актуальных проблем в современном языкознании. Данное исследование посвящено одному из самых про­дуктивных способов словообразования – словосложению (композитообразованию) в дигорском диалекте осетинского языка. Существует ряд научных трудов по данной проблеме, но они освещают лишь отдельные словообразовательные виды, типы и модели, комплексного исследования композитного словообразования в дигорском ди­алекте не проводилось. Следует подчеркнуть, что словосложение по-разному прояв­ляет себя в разных частях речи. Особенности наблюдаются как в характере связи компонентов, так и в различной продуктивности самих типов сложений и разных лексико-грамматических классах слов. Отдельное изучение словообразования каждой части речи дает возможность выделить все способы и все средства, свойственные этой части речи. Исследование словообразовательных типов новых слов, их появ­ления в результате различных взаимодействий с другими словообразовательными типами может дать представление о том, какие тенденции проявляются в совре­менной словообразовательной системе языка. В соответствии с этим, основной це­лью работы является структурно-семантический анализ композитов-наречий, их типологическая характеристика, выявление наиболее продуктивных моделей. Ком­плексный подход к исследуемому материалу обусловил необходимость использования таких методов, как: описательный, сравнительно-сопоставительный, компонент­ный, статистический. В ходе исследования выявлены основные словообразователь­ные модели композитов-наречий в дигорском диалекте; проведен частеречный ана­лиз компонентов композитов-наречий; определена типология отношений между компонентами с учетом степени продуктивности. Derivatives make up a significant part of the lexical composition of any language, in view of this, word formation acquires special significance in the nominative activity of a person. Comprehensive and multifaceted study of the word-formation system of languages and their dialects is one of the most pressing problems in modern linguistics. This research is devoted to one of the most productive ways of word formation - word composition (compositing) in the Digor dialect of the Ossetian language. There are a number of scientific works on this problem, but they cover only certain derivational types, types and models; a comprehensive study of composite word formation in the Digor dialect has not been carried out. It should be emphasized that word composition manifests itself in different ways in different parts of speech. Features are observed both in the nature of the connection between the components, and in the different productivity of the types of additions themselves and different lexical and grammatical classes of words. A separate study of word formation for each part of speech makes it possible to highlight all the methods and all the means inherent in this part of speech. The study of word-formation types of new words, their appearance as a result of various interactions with other word-formation types can give an idea of what tendencies are manifested in the modern word-formation system of the language. In accordance with this, the main goal of the work is the structural and semantic analysis of composites-adverbs, their typological characteristics, and the identification of the most productive models. An integrated approach to the material under study necessitated the use of methods such as: descriptive, comparative, component, statistical. In the course of the research, the main derivational models of composites-adverbs in the Digor dialect were revealed; a part-of-speech analysis of the components of adverb composites was carried out; defined a typology of relationships between components, taking into account the degree of productivity.

The article analyses features of word formation in contemporary Russian and Croatian mass media texts. Active types, models and morphemes of word formation system used in both languages are determined. A comparative analysis of the ways of forming new words shows that occasionalisms in both languages can be created by conventional methods, such as affixation and composition or by non-conventional ways of word formation (contamination, derivation according to a specific pattern, graphoderivation).

The present work is an attempt to explain how the structure of derived words influences the order of acquisition of word formation rules. Three main types of derivatives — transpositions, modifications and mutations — are investigated in Polish child language. The differences among the three categories (analyzed in nouns, verbs and adjectives) are discussed, regarding semantic and formal changes undergone in the process of forming complex words. It is claimed that semantic-formal correspondence is an essential factor influencing the order of acquisition of word formation rules. Modifications in which the correspondence is both preserved and has a simple character emerge earlier than the other types of derivatives — transpositions (the correspondence is broken) and mutations (the correspondence is complex). The proposal is said to be complementary to Clark’s principles of acquisition of complex words (Clark, 1993). Polish has a very rich word formation system (compared e.g. with English), thus the analysis of word formation acquisition in such a language seems to be especially important for developmental psycholinguistic research. The proposal is tested on four Polish children’s speech diaries available in CHILDES (Smoczynska, 1998). All data available from ages two to seven were analyzed. The analyses revealed that indeed modifications are acquired earlier than transpositions and mutations. The consequences of the finding for psycholinguistic theory are discussed.

Композитное словообразование привлекает внимание ученых еще с середины XX в. Такой интерес обусловлен, с одной стороны, комплексной и неоднозначной сущностью композитов, с другой, тем фактом, что их основная функция – пополнение словарного запаса языка – явление непрерывное. Динамика процессов, происходящих в языке, неразрывно связана с жизнью общества, с социально-экономическими и политическими явлениями. Образование новых слов продиктовано самой сутью языка – обеспечением потребности человека в языковых средствах. Суть словосложения в том, что для обозначения какого-либо нового предмета или явления, или же его признака, происходит образование новой лексемы путем соединения двух и более основ. После этого процесса лексема функционирует в языке, при этом ее семантика может быть неотделимой от семантики составляющих ее компонентов, или же она приобретает совершенно новое значение. Исследования данного порядка имеют огромное значение для любого языка, но особенно это актуально для так называемых «малых языков». Несмотря на то, что вопросы композитного словообразования в той или иной степени отражены в трудах, посвященных осетинскому языку и его диалектам, многое здесь остается неясным, в особенности это касается дигорского диалекта. В существующих грамматиках дигорского диалекта данные вопросы описаны лишь в общих чертах; специальных исследований в области композитного словообразования на сегодняшний день не существует. Данная статья посвящена одной из частных проблем в рамках этой темы: рассмотрению композитов-прилагательных в дигорском диалекте осетинского языка. В работе дается обзор базовых теоретических проблем, связанных с композитообразованием, анализируются научные подходы к изучению прилагательных-композитов, как в лингвистике в целом, так и в осетинском языкознании. На основе существующей теоретической базы дигорские композиты-прилагательные анализируются и систематизируются. Выявлены способы формирования наиболее продуктивных словообразовательных моделей сложных прилагательных, проведен частеречный анализ образующих их компонентов. Composite word formation has been constantly attracting the attention of scientists since the middle of the XXth century. This interest is due, on the one hand, to the complex and ambiguous nature of composites, on the other, to the fact that their main function is to replenish the vocabulary of the language, which is a continuous phenomenon. The dynamics of the processes occurring in the language is inextricably linked with the life of society, with socio-economic and political phenomena. The formation of new words is dictated by the very essence of the language - ensuring a person's need for linguistic means. The essence of the word composition is that to designate a new object or phenomenon, or its sign, a new lexeme is formed by combining two or more stems. After this process, the lexeme functions in the language while its semantics can be inseparable from the semantics of its constituent components or it acquires a completely new meaning. Studies of this order are of great importance for any language, but this is especially true for the so-called "minor languages". Despite the fact, that the issues of composite word formation are to a certain degree reflected in the works devoted to the Ossetian language and its dialects, there are many poorly studied issues, especially in the Digor dialect. In the existing grammars of Digor, these issues are described only in general terms, there are no separate studies in the field of composite word formation. This article is devoted to one of the particular problems within the framework of this topic: composites-adjectives in the Digor dialect of the Ossetian language. The study provides an overview of the basic theoretical problems associated with compositing, analyzes scientific approaches to the study of adjectives-composites, both in linguistics in general and in Ossetian linguistics. On the basis of the existing theoretical base, Digor adjective composites are analyzed and systematized. The ways of forming the most productive word-formation models of complex adjectives are revealed, a part-of-speech analysis of the components forming them is carried out.

New words are continuously being coined on Twitter, which is regarded as a means of creating and distributing new words, concepts and ideas. Our research focuses on the way Twitter’s apt naming has become one of the richest sources of brand-related word-formation. The current study has identified various productive patterns of new Twitter word-formation, such as affixation, compounding, blending, abbreviation and the powerful mechanism of lexical analogy. We have also identified the most common models used in coining new units of each type. The creation of new Twitter words has various functions and effects: establishing a closer social connection; jocular/mocking function; novelty and originality; desire to follow fashion; and denominative/labelling function. We conclude that in the era of an ever-growing amount of data, the popularity of Twitter has become a breeding ground for new brand-related words that have enriched the modern English vocabulary.

Expressing intensity in Serbian and Macedonian The article presents the way of expressing intensity in Serbian and Macedonian. The analysis of derivatives was made using the semantic word-formation methodology. It was initially assumed that the close relationship of the languages manifests itself in word-formation. The analysis of derivatives in this category shows a large similarity, such as the occurrence of the same or similar formatives, the distribution of formatives, the variance of formatives, but also that both languages retain their specificity. The results of the research will be presented in two parts. The present part deals with the formatives that appear in both compared languages. The formatives appearing in one of the languages and not the other will be discussed in a further paper. Wyrażanie intensywności w językach serbskim i macedońskim W artykule przedstawiono sposób wyrażania intensywności w językach serbskim i macedońskim. Analizę derywatów słowotwórczych przeprowadzono w metodologii słowotwórstwa semantycznego. Bliskie pokrewieństwo obu języków pozwoliło założyć, że wiele formantów, ich wariantywność i dystrybucja będą w nich zbliżone. Potwierdziła to analiza materiału słownikowego. Obydwa języki zachowują też swoją specyfikę.W niniejszym artykule zostały opisane formanty kategorii intensywności wspólne dla języka serbskiego i języka macedońskiego. Formanty występujące tylko w jednym z porównywanych języków będą przedstawione w odrębnym artykule.

Derivational morphology is a type of word formation that creates new lexemes, either by changing syntactic category or by adding substantial new meaning (or both) to a free or bound base. Derivation may be contrasted with inflection on the one hand or with compounding on the other. The distinctions between derivation and inflection and between derivation and compounding, however, are not always clear-cut. New words may be derived by a variety of formal means including affixation, reduplication, internal modification of various sorts, subtraction, and conversion. Affixation is best attested cross-linguistically, especially prefixation and suffixation. Reduplication is also widely found, with various internal changes like ablaut and root and pattern derivation less common. Derived words may fit into a number of semantic categories. For nouns, event and result, personal and participant, collective and abstract noun are frequent. For verbs, causative and applicative categories are well-attested, as are relational and qualitative derivations for adjectives. Languages frequently also have ways of deriving negatives, relational words, and evaluatives. Most languages have derivation of some sort, although there are languages that rely more heavily on compounding than on derivation to build their lexical stock. A number of topics have dominated the theoretical literature on derivation, including productivity (the extent to which new words can be created with a given affix or morphological process), the principles that determine the ordering of affixes, and the place of derivational morphology with respect to other components of the grammar. The study of derivation has also been important in a number of psycholinguistic debates concerning the perception and production of language.
