GERMAN PUBLICISTIC TEXTS IN THE ASPECT OF PRODUCTIVITY OF WORD FORMATION METHODS OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF SPEECH

Abstract

The article reveals an issue of productivity of various methods of word formation, namely compounding, borrowing, prefixation, suffixation, which have their own characteristics in German journalism. The article examines lexical units related to different parts of speech, formed in various word-formation ways. The main objective of this study is to identify the most productive ways of word formation of lexical units of different parts of speech in German journalistic texts and determine the degree of their productivity. Lexical units formed by various word-formation methods were selected using a continuous sampling method. The study identified several productive ways of word formation of lexical units in German journalistic texts, namely compounding, suffixation and prefixation. As a result of the analysis of lexical units, it was found that compounding and suffixation have a high degree of productivity in German journalistic texts. The results of the study can be used in teaching theoretical and practical courses in linguistic disciplines.
