WORD-FORMATION OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND ITS ROLE IN ENLARGING LEXICAL RESOURCE
Keywords:
vocabulary, word-formation, new formation, affixation, conversion, compounding.Abstract
Modern English is distinguished by its great ability to form new vocabulary units. Most new formations are created with the help of those word-building methods and means that a particular language has. This article will represent the main ways of word formation in modern English: affixation, conversion and compounding are used now and have been used in the language for many years. However, not all of them are used to the same extent, and the share of each method in the word-formation process is not the same.
