COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE WORD FORMATION IN DARGINIAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGES

Abstract

In this paper, an attempt is made to outline ways and approaches to contrasting one of the most important ways of word formation – word composition in languages with different structures. Selection problems due to the fact that existing works on contrastive word-formation focused on of affixation due to its specific weight in most languages and also because of a more regular, systematic nature of affixation in comparison with the compounding. Word composition is a method of word-formation nomination that uses two or more signifiers available in the semiotic inventory of a given language for a new signifier that is involved in the semantic and conceptual sphere of the language. It is noted that a comparative analysis of complex words of the Dargin and English languages has shown that the main carrier of this system is the far-right morphological component. However, there is a significant layer of words in which the distribution of the defined and the defining attribute takes irregular forms.
