AFFIXOIDS AS TRANSITIONAL MORPHEMES IN THE WORD-FORMATION SYSTEM OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article raises some problematic questions of the morpheme system of the modern Russian language associated with the definition of affixoids. The criteria for the allocation of affixoids in the scientific literature and the properties of these morphemes, which make it possible to qualify them as special, transitional morphemes in the word formation system are highlighted and analyzed. The authors of the article draw attention to difficulties in the study of this topic by philological students, which is due to the need to distinguish affixoids from homonymous roots in words with primordial affixoid elements. In general, the article substantiates the importance of the dynamic approach to the linguistic phenomena of a similar transitional type.
