ENGLISH PREFIXES OF LATIN AND GERMAN ORIGIN AND THEIR BASIC CONFORMITIES IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

In the article, the analysis of prefixed morphemes of English and Russian words is carried out on the basis of determining the composition of the prefix inventory, as well as from the standpoint of productivity and unproductivity of prefixes, which is a very relevant issue considered by many linguists conducting research in this field. Characteristic features of prefixes and their role in updating the vocabulary of languages are determined, areas where prefixes are actively involved in the creation of new words are identified. The conclusion is made about reasons for different adaptation of borrowed prefixes of Latin and Germanic origin. Examples of morphemic and word-formation composition of related words with the involvement of a significant number of borrowings in the English language are presented.
