peech meaning to the root (manage-ment, en-courage, fruit-ful) morphemes which may occur in isolation and function as independent words are called free morphemes (pay, sum, form). morphemes which are not found in isolation are called bound morphemes (-er, un-, -less) morphemic analysis. the segmentation of words is generally carried out according to the method of immediate and ultimate constituents. this method is based upon the binary principle, i.e. each stage of procedure involves two components the word immediately breaks into. at each stage these two components are referred to as the immediate constituents (ic). each ic at the next stage of analysis is in turn broken into smaller meaningful elements. the analysis is completed when we arrive at constituents incapable of further division, i.e. morphemes. these are referred to as ultimate constituents (uc). the analysis of word-structure on the morphemic level must naturally proceed to the stage of uc-s. allomorphes …

e productivity of this or that way of word-formation may change. sound interchange or gradation (blood - to bleed, to abide -abode, to strike - stroke) was a productive way of word building in old english and is important for a diachronic study of the english language. it has lost its productivity in modern english and no new word can be coined by means of sound gradation. affixation on the contrary was productive in old english and is still one of the most productive ways of word building in modern english. affixation is the formation of new words with the help of derivational affixes. suffixation is more productive than prefixation. in modern english suffixation is characteristic of noun and adjective formation, while prefixation is typical of verb formation (incoming, trainee, principal, promotion). affixes are usually divided into living and dead affixes. living affixes are easily separated from the stem (care-ful). …

of composition and derivation. derivational compound is formed by composing a new stem that does not exist outside this pattern and to which suffix is added. derivational compound is a word consisting of two immediate constituents, only one of which is a compound stem of notional words, the other being a derivational affix, e.g. blue - eyed - (a+n) + ed in coordinative compounds neither of the components dominates the other, both are structurally and semantically independent and constitute two structural and semantic centres, e.g. breath-taking, self-discipline, word-formation. recommended literature 1. каращук t.m. словообразование английского языка. - м., 1997. р. 15-45. 2. кубрякова л.c. типы языковых значений: семантика производного слова. - м., 1981. - р. 40-75. 3. мостовий m.i. лексикологія англійської мови. - харків. 1993. 4. харитончик з.а лексикология английского языка. - минск, 1992. 5. arnold i.v. the english word. - m., 1973. - p. 82-111. 6. ginsburg r.s. and …
