Word-formation and derivational paradigms as a methodological basis for the nostrification of units of the language system

Abstract

our article concerns the issue of revealing the methodological foundations of the nostrification of units of the lexical level of a language, French in particular, in the context of considering word-formation and derivational systems. Attention is focused on studying the features of the functioning of units of the morpheme level as components of the word-formation type and derivational paradigm, which is due to the syntagmatic and paradigmatic aspects of considering the features of the functional capacity of morpheme units of the adjective category of the French language in the context of the graphic form of a lexical-semantic unit, determined by the grammatical category of the French adjective. Attention is paid to the correlation of semantic and grammatical meanings of a lexeme in the issue of determining the mechanism of formation of lexical units in the systems of word-formation and derivation of a particular language, which determines the factors of formation not only of lexical new formations, but also of word combinations as units of a higher level of the language. The syntagmatic and paradigmatic aspects of the manifestation of word-forming processes and the features of the creation of a derivational paradigm at the lexical level are taken into account. The concepts of word-formation and morphematic types are distinguished, taking into account the methodological concept of studying morpheme activity in the context of word-formation and derivation processes, determined by a delimited perception of word formation and derivation with the prospect of studying the function of morphemes in the conditions of their actualization by word-formation and morphematic types. The syntagmatic aspect of the study of word-formation processes is defined as one that contributes to the disclosure of the features of the formation of word-formation models, while the paradigmatic aspect of the study of derivational processes organizes the paradigmatic relations of morpheme components of the paradigmatic derivational model of the lexical level. The sign of the activity of different-level language units is distinguished, which is based on the characteristics of the word-formation activity of morphemes and the characteristics of the quantitative component of the morpheme structure of the lexeme. The word-formation activity of a morpheme reveals the regularities of the formation of a word-formation type, the quantitative component of the morpheme structure determines the conditions for the formation of a derivational paradigm. A methodological justification for the definition of word formation and derivation as separate sections of lexicological science is formulated and the basic categories of their actualization are identified.
