DIACHRONIC AND SYNCHRONIC STUDY OF WORD FORMATION

Аннотация

This article examines the intersection of diachronic and synchronic approaches in the study of word formation processes, highlighting their complementary nature in understanding morphological development in languages. The research demonstrates how historical (diachronic) analysis reveals the evolution of word-formation patterns over time, while synchronic investigation provides insights into contemporary productive morphological processes. Through comparative analysis of various word-formation mechanisms, this study illustrates how both perspectives contribute to a comprehensive understanding of linguistic creativity and language change. Special attention is paid to the interaction between inherited word-formation models and innovative patterns in modern language use.
